Women's Health Magazine's 2013 Beauty Awards

This year Women's Health Magazine put a unique twist on their annual Beauty Awards by selecting the best beauty products for specific situations, such as going to the gym, work or on vacation. Here, Beauty Director Molly Nover Baker shares some of the top picks.

The Social Situations Hair Smoother

Getting ready for a fun night out and want gorgeous, shiny hair? Try Women's Health winner Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Total Care Shampoo. "It nourishes the scalp to create the right foundation for strong hair. A lot of shampoos put the focus on your ends, but this one focuses on your scalp," says Molly. This hair-strengthening shampoo contains a Nutrium 10(TM) complex, a rich blend of vitamins and nutrients, which is like giving a vitamin shot to your hair and scalp.

The Gym Must-Haves

After a hard workout, you need fast beauty fixes to take you from sweaty to fresh. First up, Women's Health readers voted for TRESemm Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo. This no-water-necessary shampoo has oil-absorbing mineral clay and refreshing citrus extracts that work instantly to absorb odor and reduce excess oil on your hair and scalp by up to 75%. Bonus: it also cuts down on frizz.

"Also hugely important when you are at the gym, is having an antiperspirant that really works," says Molly. Their winner: Degree Women Clinical Protection with motionSENSE(TM) Technology. It contains prescription strength protection that is three times stronger than your basic deodorant and activated my movement, so as you move, it'll keep you fresh all day long.

The Perfect At-Work Blush

"At work, it's important to look polished and put together," says Molly. The Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Cream Blush is rich in antioxidants and sinks into your skin to create a natural-looking flush. It also contains their Ceramide Triple Complex that is a blend of vitamins to help soothe and strengthen your skin's appearance while also helping to visibly lift and contour your cheeks.

The Best Vacation Bronzer

Headed out for a vacation this summer? Try this reigning champion: Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. "Our readers have repeatedly chosen Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer as the best self-tanner," says Molly. The new updated formula is infused with an odor-absorbing compound that eliminates that self tanner smell. "You still have a fabulous tan glow to your skin, but no stink!" says Molly.
