WOW, I feel eminently unqualified to answer this question. So I am going to go with the first thing that popped in my head.
SLEEP. When I am rested, I do not have bags under my eyes. When I am rested, my hair and skin seem to look healthier. When I am rested, my attitude is exponentially better .. and you know what they say: 'Pretty is as pretty does'. Or something like that.
Runner ups:
- Lip balm
- Mascara
- Sex
Not necessarily in that order.
So, what about you? Let's hear it. C'mon .. don't lurk and run. Tell me what you think!
I might have also ranted about this here:

I know. I always snarl at my kids when they don’t want to sleep. I think “what’s wrong with you???? Don’t you know that sleep is PRECIOUS??” Youth is wasted on childhood, for sure.
I think I rememebr what sleep was like. I know I miss it.
Hmmm, a very good list I think! I like lip gloss over my chapstick, but otherwise, it's pretty perfect! :)
Definitely sleep for me (as proven by my love letter i wrote to sleep over at my place today!). Nothing makes me look and feel better than sleep. And nothing makes me feel and look worse than no sleep.
Runner up for me is vaseline intensive care jelly on my lips EVERY night. Does wonder for soft puckering lips!
Woo-hoooo! bring me some oxycontin! Wait, that doesn’t sound right, huh? NOTE to DFCS: read her reply before you come get me.
Isn’t that so true. I can live on 7 if I have to, but 8 sets me right.
Sooooooo true *side-eyes my son*
*snort*
It's funny you said sex because oxytocin is a hormone released just before orgasm and helps the body to secrete endorphins which go throughout your body making you feel better i.e. beautiful lol.
LOVE this!
Oh I love sleep too! More than anything. 8 hours for me
i'm dreaming of sleep. (talking to you, baby boy!)
Ahh, beautiful, blessed <strike>sleep</strike>. Sex! I meant sex. No, really…
Sleep is definitely very important for everyone. A good night rest always leaves us feeling fresher and energize.
I know, right? I remember..sorta … kinda … what it was like to feel rested. Sorta. Vaguely. Hrrrmmpppphh.
HAR! yes, of the three, lip balm is my most consistent friend!
and at least 1 out of 2 we can control, right? *sigh*
Sleep (and water) has amazing restorative effects!
ahhh, sweet, sweet sleep… I just don't get enough of that.
Guess I'll have to stick with the lip balm and sex… okay, maybe just the lip balm- it's easier.
Sleep… sigh, I miss sleep. Very good point though!
I love that you put sex as a beauty secret!! How funny! I agree that sleep is amazing! Also, drinking water really does help my skin and hair. I heard from another blogger that cold water helps keep your hair shiny, but I refuse to take even a tiny cold shower LOL
