SELF Gives You a Sneak Peek of Our Exclusive P90X3 Workout With Tony Horton!
Ten years ago everybody was talking about Tony Horton's crazy-intense P90X dvds (shorthand for power 90-day eXtreme series, fyi). In 2011, it was turbo-charged P90X2. This week, it's the latest edition to the fit craze --P90X3, promising all the same lean-out, sculpt-everything results, but with breezy 30-minute workouts. "Science shows that the bulk of fitness results come in the first 30 minutes of your workout, and even better, it feels doable; you don't have to save your energy, you just go all-out the whole time," Horton says.

Hitting The Slopes? Going for an Outdoor Run? Here's How to Heal and Prevent Windburn
Whether you're hitting the slopes, going for a cold-weather run or straight up frolicking outdoors on a blustery, snowy day, all seems great -- until you look in the mirror and realize you're more akin to Rudolph the Red-FACED Reindeer. Damn wind burn. And while it's easy to assume windburn is just a seasonal version of sunburn, this wintry issue has nothing to do with UV rays. (But ALWAYS wear sunscreen, guys!)Wind burn, rather, is caused when the cold temperatures and dry air sap skin of its natural moisture, causing the blood vessels near the surface of your skin to dilate -- which is why you turn red and look "burned."...

Forget the Spritz Bottle: Check Out These Cool New Perfumes
I love a good perfume, but the spray-thing is rough on me during the winter. Scents either feel like overkill (I swear they stick more on dry skin), get buried under the cozy layers or disappear by the end of the day -- which is when you really want to wear it anyway. I mean, who wants to be perfume-overload at 8 AM? Anyway, whether you're neurotic about fragrance in the winter like me, need a good gift for a keen nose or just want a fun new way to rock a signature scent, these three new ways to wear perfume are perfect for wintertime festivities -- and beyond.
