| De-aging products help women remove years and icky spots from faces
During sleep, skin is supposedly at its most receptive to regeneration and repair, and the beauty industry profits from those precious de-aging hours. But even night owls can benefit from nighttime skin care products that erase the telltale signs of the sleep-deprived: puffy eyes, dark circles, lifeless skin. I like to think my own mature epidermis knows of my superior time-management skills and equates "night" with "shuteye." Even when I'm up checking e-mail at 3 a.m., I can still take advantage of the time to de-age my face. Here are the six de-aging products I turn to whether I hit the sack at night (or not). 1. Like a Lycra bodyshaper, L'Oreal Paris Collagen Remodeler Contouring Moisturizer for Face and Neck Night ($20) isolates problem spots that sag – especially the jawline.

Pamper feet to avoid corns and calluses
The dull ache of corns and roughness of calluses are preventable, Minnesota's Mayo Clinic Health Letter reports.
The newsletter says unsightly corns and calluses are caused by the rubbing and friction of just-a-little-too-tight shoes, but they will often go away if the friction and rubbing that causes them are eliminated.
If you have corns and calluses, the experts suggest wearing non-medicated corn or callus pads that cushion and protect skin from friction and allow time for corns or calluses to shrink.
Toughened skin can gradually be rubbed away with a washcloth or pumice stone after bathing. Never shave or cut a corn or callus because of the risk of infection, the newsletter advises.
"Most people only need medical treatment if they cause discomfort," the Mayo Clinic Health Letter says in a statement.
