Facial beauty
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Our faces are exposed to all Mother Nature throws at us. Yet if you’re like me, you haven’t given yours the protection it deserves.
As we age, our faces reflect how they’ve been treated. Some of us are blessed with beautiful skin that doesn’t require much work, but that’s not the case for most of us.
Our cover story offers some ideas, including over-the-counter treatments and cosmetic surgery options.
This week the tryout team used baking soda as a skin care exfoliant.
Do you have a beauty secret you’d like to share?

Cheaters
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Now and then everybody needs to cheat on their diet. Some people like to eat 100-calorie snack packs, while others measure out the tiniest portion of their favorite goodie — like half a Twinkie. What’s your favorite cheat? How do you keep from going too far?

Take inspiration and try it yourself
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m feeling so inspired. The new year is here, and I haven’t broken any resolutions — yet. And then I read the weight loss success stories. I grouse about needing to lose a few pounds, but these people lost hundreds. It takes a lot of courage to make such a commitment to lead a healthy life. We’re offering three of you some help to make that same change. If we select you, you will work one-on-one with one of our Good Form trainers. Enter here. This is a big commitment, so the faint of heart need not apply. Even if you’re not selected, you can follow our finalists’ progress at ajc.com/health for inspiration.
