Every woman has those days where they wake up on the morning of a big meeting with unwanted acne or wine stained teeth from the night. Maintaining a beautiful, fresh look isn't easy, but with a few long-lasting beauty solutions, you can save time and money, and still look picture-perfect for any occasion.

    Lasting Manicure - Dark colors can look trendy, but are heavily pigmented and therefore chip faster. The best thing to do is to use a long-wear top coat after applying nail polish. Also, don't be shy about asking the salon for a sample of the color for touch-ups between visits.

    Whiter Smile - Drinking red wine, coffee, tea and colas can have an adverse effect on the color of your teeth. A recent study(1) even found white wine to be a culprit, as it has an acid content that tends to increase the risk of staining if you also drink tea or similar beverages. However, you can reverse some of that damage by brightening your smile with at-home whiteners like Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. The new strip technology molds to your teeth and doesn't leave a messy residue behind. The new formula also ensures that your pearly whites will last for 12 months!

    Taming Frizzy Hair - For many women, frizzy hair becomes a problem after perms or highlights. Additionally, overusing styling products can lead to build up and dryness. Frizzy hair is much like dry hair in that it lacks the proper lipid balance. The first step to treat frizzy hair is to use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Be sure to opt for a cream conditioner as oil-based conditioners can contribute to frizz.

    Acne Solutions - When it comes to acne flare-ups, the most important thing you can do for your skin to prevent flare-ups is to maintain a healthy lifestyle -- drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables and get an adequate amount of sleep. Also, follow a basic cleansing regimen by using a simple soap, like glycerin, which is very gentle yet effective for daily use.
