You have probably thought about goals for nearly every facet of your existence -- but have you worked up a plan to boost your health and beauty regimens? This list of eleven beauty boosters will help you get on the fast track to bliss both inside and out.

Wear SPF on Your Face Every Day of the Year
Protecting your facial skin from the damaging rays of the sun is an important commitment. You need to be serious about it. Many daily moisturizers contain sunscreen, including Dove Deep Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 and Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 30.

Do your face a favor by getting moisture, sun protection and a smooth-looking skin tone with a tinted moisturizer. Cover Girl CG Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisture and DuWop Revolotion Face with SPF 15 both offer multiple benefits for your complexion in one simple product.

Get Your Fingernails in Shape
If you have always had problem nails, you can get them looking great with minimal commitment. Many people associate good nails with long nails and that is simply not a fair assessment to make. Healthy nails are often worn fingertip length or shorter.

I've found that most nail difficulties can be remedied with Nailtiques nail protein polish. They have several formulas to treat a variety of nail issues, including an After Artificial Treatment to get your nails healthy after tips, acrylics or gels.

The old standby, Sally Hansen, also has a great product called NailGrowth Miracle. Both the Nailtiques and Sally Hansen products dry very quickly, so if you apply one coat and wait one minute you will be on your way to healthier, more beautiful fingernails in no time.

Be sure to apply moisturizer to your hands (including the cuticles and nails) at night. While protein polishes make your nails strong, you also need moisture to provide flexibility so your nails don't break. Three products to consider: Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme, Babor Body Line Thermal Hand & Nail Repair With Algae and Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand & Nail Care Lotion.

Invest in a Quality Hairbrush
Did you know that a cheap hairbrush could literally tear your hair out? Even the most healthy scalp loses a minimum of thirty hairs a day, so ensure that your hair will stay where it belongs -- on your head -- with a quality brush designed for your hair type.

Boar and nylon are the most commonly used bristles in hairbrushes. Natural boar bristles are good for long, normal, fine and damaged hair; while the nylon variety tend to be better for short, coarse or heavily damaged hair. Look for brushes with widely spaced rows of bristles, as they glide through the hair more easily.

Mason Pearson has made classic hairbrushes since 1885, while Denman and Sephora also offer superior hairbrushes.

Another hint: Buy yourself a wooden comb. Choose one with widely spaced teeth like the one shown here. It will stimulate scalp circulation while eliminating static.

Scrub Your Way to Soft Feet
Taking time out for salon pedicures is not always in the budget, time or money wise, so make this the year you agree to take matters into your own hands; or, in this case, your own feet.

Purchase a foot file (it is a bit like a giant nail file) and vow to scrub any areas of your feet with dry or rough skin once or twice a week. Use the file after a bath or shower -- or in the shower when your feet are wet -- because warm water softens the skin.

You will be so amazed at how good your feet look and feel with regular use of a foot file! They work better than pumice stones and are much easier to maneuver. I recommend Diamancel or Earth Therapeutics brand foot files. Stay away from the razors that are sometimes used to cut dead, dry skin off feet. These are very risky to use and can cause serious harm to your feet. A foot file does a wonderful, thorough job of ridding your tootsies of dead skin -- no cutting is ever needed.
