I surfed the web, so you don’t have to! Here are five of my favorite posts this week:

• The Derm Blog:  Dr. Benabio, M.D. shows how twin studies have proven aging is not all in your genes, and factors like divorce and antidepressants can accelerate how fast you age.
• The Skin Care Guru:  Dr. Baumann, M.D. questions how much water we really need to drink everyday for optimal skin health.
• The Beauty Brains:  The ladies (and cosmetic chemists) tell the truth about hand sanitizers and your skin/nail health (and the answer might surprise you)!
• Truth in Aging:  Marta discusses how she fought the good fight against lip and marionette lines – and won.
• AdvanceWeb:  An excellent slide show reviewing some top-notch skin care holiday gift ideas.
