I know I would sound a bit high maintenance if I tell you that I’m addicted to a face mist. When do I use it? Well, my favorite time to spray a face mist is right after shower before I apply anything else on my face. It feels so invigorating and I’m addicted to that feeling. Perfect for the day after a big night party. I also love to use a face mist when I travel, after a long and tiring flight. Just a reminder: I’m not an esthetician, or a makeup artist and my opinion is just mine, very amature I should say.

Here is Marta’s face mist top picks:

1. AmorePacific Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery System, $35 at sephora.com

Food Inspired Beauty: KENZOKI Marshmallow Mask.

Keep your face smooth and nourished with KenzoKI’s new Marshmallow Mask. A rich, mellow texture envelops the skin while ingredients cocoa butter, cameline oil and cotton butter go to work to hydrate and repair. The Marshmallow Mask is gentle enough to be used once or twice a week on normal and dry skin, and is lightly scented with rice steam.

I’m so excited to share with you my interview with one of the greatest supermodels of all time, Carol Alt. Any of you remember Carol featured on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1982? I was too young to remember but I do know I really loved her at NBC’s 2008 The Celebrity Apprentice, with Donald Trump. On that show, Carol came across as not only a very beautiful woman but also very smart one. A type of woman I look up to.  Carol is all about raw food and has a great book about the raw food lifestyle called: the Raw 50 (with David Roth forwarded by Nicholas J. Gonzalez, M.D.) I’m also very excited to let you know about Carol’s skincare line called: RAW Essentials.

If you are into green and clean skincare products you might want to learn more about Carol’s skincare line. I personally love the RAW Essentials Raw-finish Rigorous Face Scrub, RAW Eeentials Raw-juvenate Eye Recoup, and RAW VITA Eye Serum (image below).

In this interview Carol Alt talks about how did it all begin for her in the modeling world and some of her most memorable moments of her career. What led her create RAW Essentials and what makes it different than the rest. Gives advice to anyone interested in a RAW lifestyle and RAW food diet. Reveals what’s in her makeup bag. Gives word of wisdom to aspiring supermodels. And future plans.

Marta Walsh: Your career as a supermodel and actress is undeniably impressive. How did it all begin? What were some of your most memorable moments of your career?
Carol Alt: Oddly, my career kicked off right after a breakup with a boyfriend at the time! I was spotted waiting tables during my freshman year at Hofstra University, where I was enrolled in Army ROTC. The modeling opportunity was the perfect excuse to get off of Long Island and embark on an adventure.
