Beijing may be hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics, but when it comes to beauty, we've got your Gold Medal Winners. And while the Chinese government hands out booklets with their own advice on looking good - such as no spitting, avoiding white socks with black shoes and skipping public displays of pajamas - - we've rounded up the best in beauty, certain winners in the competition to keep you looking gorgeous.

Summer's nearly gone, yet the closest you've gotten to vacationing is Oak Street Beach. And while a day spent racking up UV damage is hard to beat, we've got another idea for escaping without breaking the bank.

Head to Peninsula Spa by ESPA and enjoy a day of utter bliss. Detox in the steam room, chill in the relaxation lounge; take a cool dip in the pool followed by a steamy plunge in the Jacuzzi, or just unwind on the sundeck while sipping a summer cocktail and some spa fare (items from the room service menu may also be enjoyed on the deck). Best of all, these amenities are complimentary for Chicago Beauties who book any Half Day Spa Journey ($300).

We like to think of it as a vacation that your skin (and your wallet) will thank you for.
