How do you achieve your "look"?

Shorts, sandals and swimsuits—and the skin they reveal—are three big reasons why people are more conscious of how they look in the summer. That’s why our July/August issue features stories on summer skin and hair care, as well as a rundown of the hottest beauty superfoods and an interview with the ever-lovely Jaclyn Smith of “Charlie’s Angels” fame.

All these articles got us thinking about the beauty regimens embraced by you, our loyal readers. How do you care for your skin and hair, from both the inside and the outside? What natural products do you use? We really want to know!

We also met a young woman, Emily Balfour of Georgia, whose family is lovingly dealing with her father’s diagnosis. Currently 5 million Americans are suffering from Alzheimer’s, which means many more families have their own stories to tell.
