"   Wow, can you believe it? It&amp;#039;s already the last day of the 21 Days to Brighter Skin challenge! Have you been following along? I&amp;#039;ve been trying my best to adhere to all the advice\u2014and was both surprised and relieved to read yesterday&amp;#039;s tip about mineral makeup. I always knew it was good for your skin, but I had no clue that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, you&amp;#039;re better off wearing mineral makeup on your face than nothing at all! Now I don&amp;#039;t feel so vain about powdering my nose all the time... Though after reading today&amp;#039;s tip I do feel slightly guilty about not slathering on more sunscreen over the weekend. I was lucky enough to escape to the Hamptons, where I pretty much did nothing except sit around outside, chat with friends, and catch up on my summer reading. But even though I wore SPF 30 sunblock, I still returned to the city with a touch of bronze\u2014which, although not a burn, is still a sign of skin damage. Sigh. I&amp;#039;m totally in love with my newfound glow, but it&amp;#039;s so not worth looking years beyond my age. On my afterwork agenda: At-home self tanning!   \u2014Emily Hebert  Follow ELLE on Twitter! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
