Jessica Alba & The Honest Company: Favorite Skincare Products

Jessica is a big fan of jane iredale – THE SKIN CARE MAKEUP line and the all-natural, synthetic-free suki skincare. 
Products she asks for by name are the jane iredale Disappear in Med/Light, PureMoist Lipstick in Nicole and Mascara in Black Onyx.
She’s been a huge fan of Jane’s products for a long time and especially loves jane iredale PurePressed Base SPF 20 to give her an “all-over matte finish.”
Jessica is a celebrity but that doesn’t mean she indulges all the time! She uses the 24-Karat Gold Dust ”for special occasions.”
The creative actress and activist also offered a secret tip — by mixing the 24-Karat Gold Dust into a body lotion, you’ll be able to create “a subtle shimmer that makes lumps and bumps a tad less noticeable!”

Jess also loves the Suki Skin Care line to create an amazingly smooth and clear palette for her favorite makeup.
“In terms of what cleanser to use, I look for hydrating formulas designed for dry skin – suki Moisture Rich Cleansing Lotion is the bomb!” Jessica beams.

Eco-Friendly Beauty: Hair Curling the Green Way! (VIDEO)

I found this really cute and interesting video which shows an old fashion way of curling your hair. Back in the day  when we didn't have hair dryers or curling irons, the women curled their hair using rags and rollers.  This method is not only healthy for your hair because you're not using heat, but you're using less energy and using reusable materials to curl your hair. Don't throw your rags away, you can keep them. Wash and dry and reuse them!
