Why not start the new year right with clear skin this time? After heavy partying, food and drinks, you could use a new regimen to help whip your skin back into shape!

Kairos Acne Clear Solutions Oil Reducing Pore Perfecting Treatment, $28: This potent blend of natural oils and 1.0% Salicylic Acid is designed to gently exfoliate, minimize excess oil, curb bacteria, and penetrate pores to control and help prevent acne. The treatment keeps hair cleaner longer as it clears breakouts, eliminating the “greasy look” on both hair and skin. Just use the treatment twice a week after shampooing, using the special tip applicator to apply to the scalp in sections. Leave on 3-5 minutes before rinsing and conditioning. The treatment can even be used directly on active acne areas on the face and body to treat and prevent breakouts. www.kairosclear.com

Given the choice between natural and synthetic, what’s your vote? Burt’s Bees thinks the choice should be clear in personal care. Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as it looks – many personal care products on the market positioned as ‘natural’ may contain potentially harmful ingredients. That’s why Burt’s Bees and Julianne Moore are giving consumers the opportunity to cast their votes for truly natural personal care at www.burtsbees.com/votefornatural

More and more consumers believe that natural ingredients are the best choice to maximize well-being in personal care. The trouble is, it can take a lot of reading between the lines of labels to figure out what’s natural vs. synthetic. To help consumers find what they’re really looking for in a natural product, Burt’s Bees has worked closely with the Natural Products Association and other likeminded brands to develop a Natural Seal-a symbol that lets consumers know when products contain at least 95% natural ingredients.

To ensure that the best candidate comes out on top, “green” actress Julianne Moore cast the first vote for natural at the Burt’s Bees Voting Booth in NYC on Monday, September 15th. Each vote for natural is also a vote for the forthcoming Natural Seal, helping make natural a clear choice after all.
