TIP OF THE DAY: HOW TO MAKE A SIDE BUN
The side bun has taken Hollywood by storm and it's easy to see why. It's a sexy style that can hold up to humid temperatures and works for any occasion, casual or glamorous. It's also super-easy to master—all you have to do is create a low side ponytail, then twist the tail until it wraps up into a bun and pin it in place. Let a few pieces fall out so it looks a little messy on purpose.

INTRODUCING: TIP OF THE DAY
TODAYS TIP: How to do a blowout on a budget
While a killer blowdry is the best way to look polished and put together, professional blowouts can be expensive, especially if you get them regularly. Here, Doug Di Canio, a stylist at Blow, New York's Blow Dry Bar, gives us the lowdown on how to give yourself the perfect blowout at home.
1. Don't blowdry in your bathroom. "The air circulation is generally poor and the humidity from your shower will only make your job more difficult," says Di Canio. A cool, brightly lit area like your bedroom or living room is a better option.
2. Air-dry your hair up to 75 percent. This will ensure that you don't spend an hour scorching your locks with your dryer. Use a leave-in conditioner on your wet hair and comb through tangles with a wide-tooth comb.
3. Dry hair in sections. Using a comb, divide your hair in half going from ear to ear in the back of your head. Clip the top section up. Then, take a two-inch wide section from the lower half, and, using a medium round brush, dry it on the high setting from roots to ends. Repeat until the bottom half is dry, then release the top section and dry that area.
4. Pump up your part. To achieve maximum volume, use a smaller round brush to blowdry small sections of hair around the part in a forward direction.
5. Finish strong. Add a finishing product like Blow Weather Girl Climate Neutralizing Complex to polish and protect your freshly groomed 'do.

How to Get Rid of Back Acne
Nothing spoils the fun of stepping out in a cute new sundress or tank like back breakouts (also known as back-ne!). Spending months swaddled in thick woolen sweaters and layers upon layers of winter gear can really do a number on your skin, and lead to confidence blasting breakouts-in places other than your face. So, as springtime approaches, we turned to some skin pros to get their tips on how to kick body blemishes to the curb.
New York Dermatologist Dr. Arielle Kauvar says: "Back-ne is aggravated by tight fitting clothing and sweating, which can contribute to clogging the pores. Exfoliation is therefore essential. A great regimen for this is a toner with salicylic acid in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night. Consider using a Clarisonic in the shower for improved exfoliation."
Head Aesthetician Elena Arboleda from celeb favorite Mario Badescu Skin Care recommends treating both back and chest breakouts as you would treat facial blemishes. "Washing with AHA Botanical Body Soap will help to break down excess dirt and oil that clog pores. Special Cleansing Lotion O is a powerful toner formulated especially for the back and chest, and contains sulfur which is very effective at eliminating acne." On a side note, Mario Badescu's insanely effective Drying Mask (I'm obsessed) also contains sulfur, and would work just as well on the back or chest as it does on your face. The mask smells pretty rough, but it really gets the job done.
