What is it about them that gives us such pleasure—such guilty, guilty pleasure? Perhaps it’s that they permit us to be girlie and blissfully shallow just for a bit. Or maybe it’s the sheer rivalry, the anticipation, the solitary crown. It’s hard to say, though we get a similar thrill from holding our own annual contest—the Healthy Beauty Awards. Every year, top dermatologists rate a throng of beauty products that promise to give you that winning look. And so, without further ado, we introduce to you our 2007 Healthy Beauty Award winners.
