My husband Brandon's grooming products consists of a bar of soap. That's it.

Granted, it's a fancy bar of Fresh Sugar Soap -- because that's what I put in the shower -- but it's not doing much to get rid of his sun spots.

Ever have one of those weeks where by Friday, you need to round up your favorite girlfriends and hit the town for a big night out? Heather Carrillo, from Simi Valley, Calif., knows the feeling. Between school, her job, and her two adorable (but high maintenance) puppies, she's more than ready to blow off some steam with a girls' night.

I've had some major self-tanner mishaps over the years. From orange palms for weeks (yes, weeks) to splotches that looked like rare skin diseases, I've experienced it all.
