You use toner for your face, why not the rest of your body? Get your blood flowing again with Dr. Hauschka Rosemary Leg and Arm Toner ($32.95). Ingredients like Rosemary essential oil and castor oil (don’t worry, you don’t have to drink it!). Just rub some in and restore that healthy glow—especially on those bitter winter mornings when your skin looks as dewy as a bag of ragweed.

Skincare Worthy of a Feast

This holiday season, a moment on the lips doesn't have to mean a lifetime on the hips. With a cornacopia of delicious smelling products, it’s okay to pass the pumpkin pie and pile on the souffle. We even dare you to throw back a few margaritas. Guilt free!

If you’re in a giving mood, all of these skincare and beauty products make great stocking stuffers and gifts.

Omega-3 fats have gotten a lot of attention for their pro-skin and brain bolstering properties. Here's something you may not know: pumpkin seeds are packed with Omega-3s. In fact, pumpkin seeds are also rich in vitamin K (which may help prevent cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis). Each seed contains 50 percent oil packed with caratenoids, zinc and omega-3 fats. Zinc is known to help reduce inflammation in tissues, and promote a healthy heart, glowing skin and top-notch cognitive function. What's more, pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols, which may sound boring and scientific but they're really good for you; they absorb intestinal cholesterol, boost your immune system and possibly decrease the risk of some cancers. So what are you waiting for? Go get yourself a pumpkin!

Relaxation is the key to good health. After a stressful day Aveda Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate with blue camomile and peppermint essential oils help take the edge off. Just rub it at your temples, wrists, sore muscles or anywhere else that could use cooling relief.

Beautiful is something different to everyone. But one common theme when it comes to our personal appearance is that most of us need a little assistance. That's not to say that we want to load up on products that could make us look worse by clogging our pores or drying our skin out.

Belisi Beauty Picks are products that I've personally tried that I've found to have some amazing quality. I'd like to hear about products that have helped other women look their best. Maybe it's an out of this world conditioner that prevents split ends or a mascara that turns your eyes into showstoppers. Whatever it is, tell me about it!

Some people would rather eat old cheese than forego a daily hair washing. Others swear up and down that washing hair every day is a beauty no-no.

“Washing hair everyday will fade color faster, strip it of its natural oilsand if the shampoo/conditioner is too heavy can be weighed down and static-y—it can be too clean,” says Kristin Steckler, a stylist at Tonic II Salon in Las Vegas.
