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."

"We wanted to have beautiful pictures [of the shows]. After, when I saw the show and I saw how it makes them very mechanical, I understood sometimes the pain on the feet. There is a lot of emotion. I was like, back to toe ground. We wanted something easier. It's old to have those girls walking like that, so I tried to stop that craziness. The idea was to have this crazy casting with Gisele [Bündchen] and Amber Valletta and Carolyn [Murphy], and they said no for high heels. They were not used to walking with heels anymore. Gisele was worried; she would not walk with my heels."

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.

Giuliana Rancic is a red carpet pro, and it's not because she has stared in blockbuster movies or is dating a high-profile A-List actor.

The "E! Fashion Police" host and one half of "Giuliana & Bill" has made a career of looking glamourous while interviewing some of Hollywood's biggest names. Rancic tends to outshine some of tinseltown's finest in curve-hugging frocks and floor-grazing gowns.

Bold gem tones and short hemlines are go-to styles for the television personality, but we noticed that recently she has been a bit more risqué with her looks -- menswear-inspired getups and edgy accessories are new fashion territory for Rancic. So in honor of the Rancic's 36th birthday, we rounded up her best red carpet moments in the gallery below.

Meanwhile, don't miss out on this exclusive interview where Rancic dishes about her ombre highlights and her husband's Hollywood makeover.

Lady Gaga is loyal -- she personally responds to her Little Monsters on Twitter, she walked the runway at her stylist Nicola Formichetti's first runway show for Thierry Mugler, and now it seems as though she's replaced every item in her closet with Versace designs.

At the beginning of the summer Gaga admited to Femalefirst.co.uk, "I'm wearing only Versace for like the next two months. I'm having a love affair with Donatella."

And Donatella Versace, the designer at the helm of the Italian fashion house, was flattered by the singer's devotion. She said in a statement, "I am greatly honored that Lady Gaga chose to wear a Versace Vintage look throughout her 'Edge of Glory' video," Versace continued, "I am a great fan of hers and I believe that my brother Gianni would have appreciated her talent. Like him, Lady Gaga is unafraid to push boundaries and she has created an original vocabulary by merging fashion, music, theatre and art. For me, this video represents a wonderful tribute to anyone who is unafraid to take chances."

And the singer isn't the only one blonde babe going gaga over Versace; check out January Jones who struck a pose -- in the nude -- for the latest ad campaign.

Is speculation the new black? Asking "Who will replace John Galliano at Dior" is the fashion question of the season. For a passing moment, wondering who might design Kate Middleton's wedding dress seemed to take center stage but with Fashion Week fast approaching, we are all wondering who will be named Galliano's successor. Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH, will not be rushed into making an unwise decision and has been taking his sweet time choosing a creative director for the French house. More than twenty names have been suggested as potential replacements for the disgraced Galliano, including Riccardo Tisci, Stefano Pilati and Sarah Burton, who all work for different brands owned by LVMH and fashion stars like Alber Elbaz, Haider Ackermann and Hedi Slimane. Many, however, are misguided suggestions like Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig of Marchesa and Alexander Wang (come on, Mickey Boardman, was that for real?). Azzedine Alaia was apparently offered the position but turned it down. And who was the one who mentioned Christian Lacroix? His business has never been profitable, which is something LVMH requires of its designers.

Who do you think will take over? I suspect it will be a heavy hitter like Marc Jacobs, whose name has recently been thrown into the ring, while Brooke Bobb, our fashion assistant, suspects Alber Elbaz. What do we know? Many others have suggested that a less well known designer may be given the honorable title. Check out our list below and let us know who you are rooting for.

Andrej Pejic graces the cover of New York Magazine's Fall Fashion issue, and the accompanying profile, "The Prettiest Boy In the World," has plenty of gems.

"I don't get out of bed for less than $50 a day," Pejic quips to New York, when discussing his inability to command the higher rate of his female counterparts. "I want to make that clear to America. This is a new age of androgynous supermodels. We don't get out of bed for less than $50 a day."

Move over, Linda Evangelista.

School uniforms were the bain of every fashion-loving girl's existence back in middle and high school. Itchy plaid skirts, navy or khaki pants and plain white button downs can be such limiting ensembles, leaving little to no room for one's personal style to shine day-to-day. But as the summer's winding down and we're getting nostalgic for those back-to-school shopping trips, we're starting to look at those plain jane uniforms in a whole new light.

In fact, we've noticed that some of the biggest players in fashion favor that neutral, uniform look when it comes to dressing up for their everyday (and incredibly busy) lives. Is the straight-edge rule of dressing making a comeback amongst trend-setting adults? Here's a list of the top ten most fashionable uniforms worn in the industry today.

1. Vera Wang - all black, everything (some gray)
2. Donna Karan - all black, everything
3. Alber Albaz - suit, bow tie, glasses
4. Michael Kors - jeans, black tee, black sport coat
5. Karl Lagerfeld - black jeans, white collar shirt, black blazer, Ray Bans, black gloves
6. Tonne Goodman - Black button down/turtleneck with white pants
7. Emannuelle Alt - Jeans, tee, leather jacket (usually Balmain)
8. Carolina Herrera - crisp white button down, full skirt

This summer, stars are all about stripes -- and not just any nautical number will do. Many leading ladies were spotted sporting the same $50, red and navy three-quarter sleeved dress from Express, our friends at People Style Watch report.

Each celebrity added their own take on the wardrobe staple -- Zoe Saldana, who always looks boho-chic, belted her frock and added a matching brown cross-body bag and sandals. Blonde babes January Jones and Amanda Seyfried kept their looks simple with wayfarer-style sunglasses, the former opted for matching red shades while the later stuck with basic black. Emmy Rossum infused a bit of summer flare by topping her ensemble with a straw fedora. And last, but certainly not least, Olivia Munn struck a pose in suede boots and gold charm necklaces.
