We asked Donna Perillo, owner of New York’s Sweet Lily Spa, for an at-home recipe to pamper your feet and help get them ready to emerge from winter’s boots and wool socks. “The caffeine in the coffee reduces redness and swelling, while the salt, coffee grinds, and vanilla beans—along with the lactic acid in the whipped cream—are all natural exfoliants,” Perillo says.

Stuffy? Mix 1/2 cup warm water with 1/2 teaspoon noniodized salt, says Diane Heatley, MD, of the American Academy of Otolaryngology. Using a neti pot, pour the mixture into one nostril; it’ll flow out the other. Repeat on the opposite side.
Stain buster
To remove coffee-mug stains and shine dingy wooden cutting boards, sprinkle them with kosher salt (a natural abrasive) and scrub with a sponge, says Bruce Mattel, associate dean for culinary arts at the Culinary Institute of America.

Mattel’s suggestion for chilling champagne in a flash: Place bottles in an ice bucket with a layer of ice at the base, followed by a layer of coarse or table salt. Repeat layers until full, then add cold

Ten years ago, we noticed more and more products promising health and beauty, so we put together a panel of dermatologists to select the best. A decade later, the bar is still being raised, as you can tell by our 2008 beauty winners. You don’t have to go far to find these favorites; most are at drugstores and department stores nationwide.
Meet the Beauty judges …
Lisa M. Donofrio, MD, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine, was glad to see diversity in the products on the shelves. “Companies are really starting to take into consideration a wider range of ethnicities and age groups,” Donofrio says.
Grace H. Pak, MD
, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with a private practice in New York City, was excited by the increasing number of green products. Beauty companies “are all using botanical ingredients and more recycled material for packaging,” Pak says.
Sandra S. Tsao, MD, an associate program director for procedural dermatology at Harvard Medical School, was impressed with the reduction of potential allergens in products. “This makes more products accessible to even the most sensitive individuals,” Tsao says.
