great advice jo! I like Dr. H products and the company BECAUSE they are so transparent and open about their ingredients. So many companies now just list their "active" ingredients that are natural oils or expensive, and leave out all the crappy stuff they use. Dr. H is a great product line and I love their products.

Just wanted to address everyone who seems to think that Dr. Hauschkas are hurting their skin, or that they are somehow less effective because of their alcohol content. I am not affiliated with the line myself, but I did use them every single day for about four months when my skin was going to a BAD breakout, and all they did was HELP me tremendously. Of course I'm sure that they don't necessarily work the same for everyone, however, do yourselves a favour and check with their website why they are using they ingredients that they do. Decent companies, Dr. Hauschka included, will ALWAYS state such things very clearly - the alcohol are in there for a reason people, and believe it or not, but it won't damage your skin! I mean, if you are that worried about drying ingredients you should really look at what most mainstream brands are using in THEIR products. No hate to anyone who has commented here, I simply felt like this needed to be said.

Agreed! She sounds very self-absorbed... "So I make myself ugly—as ugly as I can, really".

Tom's of Maine did not cut it for me, even when I spent time in Canada (in the winter). I am not particularly active either.

Me too! Good to hear others who have had a not-so-great experience with Haushka products. I love the scents and philosophy behind the label (and the methods used to create the products), but the Rose Day Cream broke me out terribly and I've tried using it three times over the course of a year and a half.

i think her viewpoint is actually considerate. WE (for the most part) can only imagine what its like to be on the other side of the camera.

Do I spy Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer yet again? Clearly that's the stuff to get!

Reading this reminds me of the summer after college I spent in Siberia...with a giant bottle of Dr. Bronner's. I washed my hair, face, body, and clothes with it...and the bathroom at our dorm. I drew the line at brushing my teeth with it, though I certainly could have!

This also reminds me that I've always wanted to try Borghese mud and her Bliss products...

Thirded. Anyone getting on their feminist high horse about this (and believe me, my feminist high horse is in the barn out back in case I need her!) has not met any aspiring actresses and singers. The self-esteem is low and the anxiety is high! It doesn't make Alex either sexist or conceited to recognize that and want to tone down her look at work.

Exactly!
