"I wear makeup every day [for "Gossip Girl"], so I'm sure to remove all the makeup when I'm done and keep it off as long as I can. In the daytime, I use just a little La Roche-Posay sunscreen, and at night, a little light moisturizer. I like Mario Badescu Oil-Free Moisturizer and Crème de La Mer Body and Hand Lotion."

Kanebo Sensai Giveaway!

Brand, Splash News

Enter to win a Kanebo Sensai Double Cleanse set, of which longtime fan Miley Cyrus tweets, “Sensai Face Wash has changed my life :) I just washed my face and smiled. That is a miracle… My skin’s not just clear but healthy and soft!!”

Included in the prize:

Deep Cleansing Silky Purifying Cleansing Gel with Scrub
Step one. An ultra-smooth rinse-off gel with scrub that dissolves make-up and removes oil-based impurities quickly. Since only oil can get rid of oil, this cleanser is formulated with natural Almond and Orange Oils to gently draw out pore-clogging debris off skin’s surface where they can be effortlessly lifted away.

Micro-Exfoliation Silky Purifying Instant Silky Foam
Step two. A refreshing wash that instantly whips up a dense foam with just one push. The natural enzymes featured in all Step 2 cleansers from the Sensai line gently exfoliate the skin to remove dead skin cells and all water-based debris such as dirt and sweat. Featuring Quillai Extract and Kanzo Powder for anti-inflammatory benefits, the rich and delicately textured lather leaves a thoroughly clean yet balanced feeling.

For a chance to win this luxurious skincare set (valued at $100!) simply leave a comment on any Hair's the Scoop post.

Current Obsession: Malin Akerman's Head-to-Toe Glow

Posted by babu 1:33pm GMT

Recreate the "Romantics" star's head-to-toe glow with these pro tips, tricks and product picks:

Start Fresh
It's no secret that flawless skin starts in the shower. Striking the ideal combination of cleanser, exfoliant and targeted treatments, however, is a bit more elusive. The key is to incorporate both physical and chemical exfoliation in your daily ritual, and to always mix things up by alternating intensive weekly masks. 

Top picks: Eve Lom Morningtime Cleanser ($60, SpaceNK.com); Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Body Wash ($6.79, Drugstore.com); Fresh Soy Face Exfoliant ($42, Fresh.com); Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Exotic Body Scrub ($65, OleHenriksen.com); Philosophy Microdelivery Multi Peel Pads for Face & Body ($55, Philosophy.com), Givenchy Black for Light Light Enhancing Mask ($80, Sephora.com); REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask ($55, Sephora.com); The Body Shop Body Focus Sculpting Body Mask ($3, TheBodyShop-USA.com).

Banish Flaws
A targeted serum is a must for both your face and body, whether your concern is sun spots, dimples or simply dull skin. Just be sure to apply regularly, as directed, to achieve visible results. 

Top picks: Caudalie Energizing Concentrate ($44, Caudalie.com); NUDE Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum ($92, Sephora.com); Patricia Wexler MMPi-20 Skin Brightening & Pore Refining Serum ($55, BathandBodyWorks.com); La Mer The Body Serum ($155, BergdorfGoodman.com); Kanebo Sensai Collection Activating Contouring Body Gel ($50, BergdorfGoodman.com).

Find Balance
Daily moisturizer is a must for every skin type. Acne prone? Opt for oil-free formulas. Dry skin? Steer clear of petroleum-based products that won't absorb. For every possible combination of concerns, there's a product out there that can help restore, replenish and illuminate your skin. So start browsing your favorite brands online, and don't be afraid to utilize the "chat now" function offered by many of the top e-tailers, just as you would seek assistance from a representative in-store.

Top picks: SK-II Cellumination Cream Illuminating Moisturizer ($150, SK-II.com); Pangea Organics Egyptian Fennel with Rosemary & Mint Facial Cream ($36, Sephora.com); DDF Protect & Correct UV Moisturizer SPF 15 ($60, DDFSkincare.com); Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief ($34, Clinique.com); Kiehl's Superbly Restorative Body Lotion ($35, Kiehls.com); Jo Malone Vitamin E Body Balm ($75, JoMalone.com); Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria Body Cream ($67, BergdorfGoodman.com).

Get Kissed
With fall just around the corner, opt for a subtle, daily self-tanning treatment for a believable glow that's anything but orange.

Top picks: Elemental Herbology Sun Kiss ($39, SpaceNK.com); Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer ($8.49, Drugstore.com).

Work the Light
Highlighters, contour products and camouflaging aids shouldn't be confined to the neck up. Accent your best features — and minimize those not-so-beloved areas — with a subtle mix of matte and radiant finishes, from head-to-toe. The goal is to look naturally aglow so, with that in mind: steer clear of sparkles or glitter, be sure to color-match your skin (translation: invest in more than one shade and type of concealer) and always test facial products for transferability when applying on the body.

Top picks: M.A.C Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 ($16.50, MacCosmetics.com); M.A.C Shaping Pro Palette ($15.50, MacCosmetics.com), Le Metier de Beaute Bella Bronzer Liquid Illuminator for Face & Body ($85, BergdorfGoodman.com); Guerlain Météorites Powder ($56, Sephora.com); Make Up For Ever Face & Body Liquid Makeup ($38, Sephora.com); Laura Mercier Secret Finish ($27, Sephora.com).
