SPRING AWAKENING Dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross gave me one more reason to be thankful winter\'s almost over: \"Certain chemicals that dry out skin, like chlorine, are more potent in water during colder months because there\'s no humidity to help them evaporate,\" he says. Till the mercury rises, I\'m stockpiling MD Skincare Purifying Bath Crystals, $42, with Himalayan salt, aloe, and calming colloidal oatmeal.

Dolce & Gabbana Makeover?Given the chance to fashion a makeup line, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana crafted their signature Mediterranean-vixen aesthetic into a luxe collection of shadows, lipsticks, bronzers, and nail lacquers ($20 to $59), housed in sleek gold compacts.

oscar blandi pronto colore pen
Touch & GoGirls get creative when it comes to touching up haircolor between appointments (I\'ve seen eyeshadow, mascara, even Sharpies), but now Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Pen ($23) lends a pro\'s imprimatur to the tweaking. The foolproof cream formula is brushed onto roots and grays, dries in seconds, and stays put until it\'s shampooed out. And since it\'s peroxide-free, it\'s also pillow-safe.
