One more reason to get your morning cup of coffee. Photo: Getty


Your daily Starbucks run may do much more than perk you up each morning and set you back five bucks. It may actually protect you from getting skin cancer.

A new study backs up previous research that shows caffeine may be an effective weapon in the fight against skin cancer-the most prevalent type of cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.

In the study, which was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, two groups of mice-one genetically modified to block a certain protein called ATR, the other a control group-were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The researchers found that the genetically-modified mice remained tumor-free for significantly longer and after 19 weeks of UV exposure, had nearly 70 percent fewer tumors than the control group.

MORE: Green tea also has health benefits

The research helps shed some light on how caffeine is able to decrease the risk of sunlight-induced skin cancer. Caffeine appears to inhibit the ATR kinase pathway, which plays a major role in how the body responds to DNA damage brought on by UV radiation. ATR obstructs cell division and allows DNA repair to occur rather than letting damaged cells die.

This sounds like a good thing, but, "not all repairs are successful and some cells can still go on to develop cancer," explains study co-author Allan Conney, the director of the Susan Lehman Cullman Laboratory for Cancer Research at Rutgers University School of Pharmacy. "The study we did with colleagues at the University of Washington identified the ATR kinase pathway as being inhibited by caffeine." The result? More DNA damaged cells are killed off, potentially preventing non-melanoma (basal or squamous cell) skin cancer from ever developing.

But caffeine doesn't only inhibit this important protein. Caffeine itself also acts as a sunscreen, absorbing harmful UV rays, according to Conney. So will your sunscreen contain a shot of caffeine one day? "I would think that's a real possibility," he says.

QUIZ: How healthy is your skin?

Until that day comes, there's some good news for coffee drinkers: You're already getting some sun protective benefits from your daily cup of joe. A 2007 study of nearly 94,000 women found that those who sipped caffeinated coffee daily had an almost 11 percent lower risk of non-melanoma skin cancer. Women who drank six or more cups of coffee on a daily basis saw a 30 percent reduction in risk.

(To put that in perspective, a venti size at Starbucks is two and a half cups of coffee.)

Just don't skip the sunblock. "Let's put it this way-you shouldn't start depending on your local Starbucks for sun protection," says Dr. Howard Sobel, a cosmetic dermatologist in Manhattan. "The same general rules apply when it comes to sun protection. Apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or more to all exposed skin. Look for broad-spectrum on the label, as it provides protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Avoid tanning beds, and have your skin checked regularly by a dermatologist."

Hyperpigmentation and dark spots have often forced me to layer on cream-to-powder foundation to avoid embarrassing glares. I've also tried fading creams, facial peels and good old cocoa butter to renew my dark skin.

While I've seen improvement over the years, very few skin care products have landed on my desk and produced eye-opening results like Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum XK.

This liquid gem is formulated with five key ingredients: Kinetin, the brand's super anti-oxidant plant complex which exfoliates and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles; Sepivinol, a red wine extract that helps to prevent future aging; hyaluronic acid, a known natural moisturizer; Sephiwhite MSH, an inhibitor that blocks pigmentation and SymWhite, a potent lightener that targets UV-induced skin coloring.

While the blend instantly reads impressive, it only took two weeks of applying tiny drops to my face each morning post-cleansing to notice unblemished skin. Discoloration on my forehead and cheeks have lightened and my complexion is supple and radiant, making me feel more confident to step out sans cover-up.

Charlotte Ronson has long been known for a sort of effortless, laid-back kind of cool, and the same applies to her girly meets downtown clothing lines. Now all of that has been translated to beauty, as the designer is set to launch her first hair and makeup collection exclusively with Sephora this September. The small, edited line -- inspired by family and friends -- includes six items: A beachy salt spray named 'Ann' (after Ronson's gorgeously wavy-haired mother) and a sheer, nude lip gloss called 'Samantha' (for her DJ sister). Then there's 'Nicole,' a shimmery, earth tone-hued eyeshadow palette (dedicated to close friend Nicole Richie) and 'Rashida' (as in Jones), a subtle finishing powder aimed to recreate her other pal's no-makeup makeup look. The collection also includes a liquid bronzer and blush trio.

While the line wont be able available until September 15th, you can preview everything on sephora.com right now.

Newspaper Inspired Nail Art

Newspaper-inspired nail art. Photos: New York Times Style Section, Gawker.com; OPI Samoan Sand Nail Polish; NARS Top Coat; Absolut Vodka; Kelsey of Quiet Time newspaper inspired nail art.

Warning: Not only is this newspaper-inspired nail art super cool, but it can potentially lead to getting tipsy.

Kelsey of the Tumblr Quiet Time accepted the challenge to up her manicure skills with a written word design that has been popping up on many of our favorite beauty sites like Refinery29 and Dolce Vanity. And we love the creative idea of using the local paper than reading the most recent piece of breaking news.

The blogger perfected this print in just a few steps. First, she applied a neutral nail color like OPI Samoan Sand and allowed to dry. Then she dipped each fingernail into alcohol -- we'd recommend using vodka for better results. Press a large strip of newspaper onto the top of each soaked nail. Remove slowly and finish with a glossy top coat to seal.

What do you think about this DIY nail art?

Alfred Hitchcock has long been revered as the master of suspense. Each of his sixty-seven films are marked with Hitchcock's identifiable flair: a mind-twistingly clever, yet unnerving plot; a cameo (only spanning a few seconds) of the portly director himself and last but not least, a magnificently blonde leading lady. But as it always goes, Hitchcock's genius came with consequences. Recently, several books have been released exposing the director's issues with women. In celebrity biographer Daniel Spoto's Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and His Leading Ladies, the author quotes Hitchcock as saying of his heroines, "Nothing pleases me more than to knock the ladylikeness out of them." According to Spoto, Hitchcock fell helplessly in love with a number of his lead actresses, one of whom - Tippi Hedren - he sent into clinical shock after having her be attacked by real birds for a full week during filming of (what else?) his 1963 classic The Birds. He then reportedly demanded she be at his "sexual beck and call" during the filming of Marnie that same year.

Nonetheless Hitchcock's films remain some of the greatest cinematic experiences in recent history. In honor of what would have been Hitchcock's 111th birthday, we gathered some of the director's most memorable leading ladies - all blondes, all beautiful and all equally alluring.

Beauty news from around the web...

Natalie Portman Models for Dior
As per usual, Natalie Portman looks flawless in Dior's newly released images for its ad campaign, Diorskin Forever. The ad comes as a surprise, however, since Portman announced she would not be affiliated with Dior designer John Galliano in any way after he was videotaped making anti-Semitic remarks. How will the actress explain herself now? - Via HuffPost Style

Gwen Stefani's Releases New Fragrance
Super G Harajuku Lovers Fragrance, Gwen Stefani's adorable new scent, is currently on sale. With notes of pineapple, tangerine and banana nectar, the perfume smells as sweet as it looks. The fragrance retails for $45. Honestly, we'd pay that just for the doll on the bottle. - Via Racked

Sedu to Sell $700 Blow-Dryer
Is dry hair really worth almost a month's rent? The Icon-Privé dryer weighs 1.05 pounds and delivers up to 21,000 RPMs (in layman's terms, it'll dry your hair really fast). Calling itself the most technologically advanced dryer in the world, it has 18 different temperature speeds, an ionic off/on switch and a transformer that uses 70 percent less energy than other dryers. This machinery makes letting our hair air-dry look like the stuff of medieval times. - Via WWD

Tanning Beds and Drugs Have Similar Effect, Study Finds
This explains so much. A new study from UT Southwestern Medical Center found that the brain activity of people who frequently use tanning beds is very similar to that of drug addicts. Further emphasizing the comparison, tanning can become a compulsive activity due to neurological triggers. Maybe it's time to rethink that gym-tan-laundry lifestyle, Jersey Shore? - Via Fashion Etc.

Dolce & Gabbana Add to Beauty Line
After launching a successful makeup collection this past spring, Dolce and Gabbana has announced its plans to add a foundation and lipstick-gloss to its beauty line this September. The Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation will be available in 15 different shades and will retail for $55, while the Passion Duo Gloss Fusion lipstick will be available in 20 and retail for $34. Quality is important, Domenico Dolce told WWD, but the packaging is equally so. That from a fashion designer? We're shocked. - Via Racked

How does Betsey Johnson celebrate her 69th birthday? The cartwheel-turning, hot pink lipstick-wearing designer, best known for her over-the-top party dresses, unveiled a new fragrance, called Too Too.

While dancing to DJ sets by Becka Diamond and Chelsea Leyland and indulging in mimosas and cupcakes at the launch event, we got a whiff of the fruity-floral scent. We've finally recovered, but remain entranced by the fragrance and it's over-the-top packaging.

The perfume is a blend of sweet passion fruit, mandarin, ginger, strawberry leaves, jasmine, patchouli and sandalwood. But there are three aromatic standouts for Johnson.

"The black vanilla is exotic, tasty and strange. The pink musk...it's heavy duty and super sexy. And the Bulgarian rose, my all time favorite," she said. "It really nails the guys love its sexiness trail."

Clearly Johnson's years as a dancer inspired her latest masterpiece, and the bottle's pink and black tutu, fishnet and curvaceous corseted top represent special moments on-stage.

"My costume was almost the same as the bottle when I danced the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Can-Can, and Cabaret," she said.

Too Too ($42-$82) will launch exclusively October 2011 through April 2012 at Sephora before hitting department store and specialty boutique counters in May.

This fall, overly-exaggerated, almost doll-like lashes were all over the runways -- paired with everything from clean, bare skin at Miu Miu to dramatic red lips at Gucci. Subtle they are not, but that's the appeal.

There's three fantastic options for getting Penelope Tree-esque lashes. If you want a super winged-out effect, apply a few coats of Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara to upper and lower lashes, pulling diagonally away from the eye. The curvy brush shape ensures each lash is wrapped with the water-resistant formula -- plus you can skip the lash curler. Dolce and Gabbana Secret Eyes Mascara is ultra-lengthening and defining -- and perfect for getting the hard-to-reach inner corner lashes. For major volume, Maybelline's Great Lash is still a classic, but now available in a limited edition Tracy Reese-designed tube. Start by wiggling the brush at the lash line to create super-thick, super-dramatic lashes.

Where to buy:

Fairy Drops Scandal Queen Mascara, $24, sephora.com

Dolce & Gabbana Secret Eyes Mascara, $29, saks.com

Maybelline Great Lash Limited Edition Tracy Reese Mascara, $7, drugstores

When going for dramatic eye makeup, two pairs of lashes are better than one. Choose different types of eyelashes: a natural-looking pair (Eve uses the #105) and a pair with a little more drama (#107) for the extra glam look.

Using tweezers, remove the more dramatic lashes from their tray and layer them over the natural-looking lashes. Keep the second pair of lashes in their tray when layering to ensure that both pairs of lashes line up perfectly. No need to use glue for this step, there's already a small amount of adhesive along the strips to hold the lashes together.

Pull the newly attached lashes from the tray gently with tweezers and measure against your eye. If the lashes are too long for your lid, trim the lash from the outside.

Apply a thin coat of black eyelash glue along the strip until tacky.

Tip: It is better to use eyelash glue that dries matte black so you don't end up with a weird shine above your lash line.

Still using tweezers, try to place the lashes as close as you can to the lash line. When performing this step on yourself, you can use two tweezers to apply the lashes, one holding each end, for more stability.

Once the lashes are on your lash line, press gently to glue them onto the skin and then flip them up with the tips of your fingers. This may look strange, but you will be using the flipped fake lashes to lift and curl your natural eyelashes.

Place your finger gently on the eyelid and, using your favorite mascara, weave your natural lashes with the fake ones.

And there you have it - full, beautiful lashes!

Olivia Wilde has been looking amazing recently. In addition to walking every red carpet in sight this summer, the former "House M.D." star was recently named the new face of Revlon. To promote "Cowboys & Aliens," Wilde showed off a sci-fi do styled by David Babaii that should have been saved for the film. To get the look, Babaii first straightened Wilde's long hair and then put it into a high ponytail. For the full fun effect, Babaii put a hair elastic every inch. Is this pony-esque style better left for farm versus the red carpet?
