The genius celebrity hairstylist, behind the mane of Catherine Deneuve, has expanded his mass line hair products to include the organic fare, aptly named Cristophe Beverly Hills Purely Natural.

For less than eight dollars a pop and available on nearly every street corner, these products add to the already popular Cristophe line. Don’t be fooled by the low prices and accessibility; these products are akin to their salon counterpart.

The shampoo and conditioner - which have a deliciously soft orange and vanilla scent - left our hair feeling soft with lots of swing (without drying it out).

We’ve been told forever the importance of eating fruits and veggies everyday. And according to the new body care line from Yes to Carrots, we should also be applying them to our skin. The line which is brand new to Canada, consisting of everything from face moisturizers to body lotions to shampoo, follows the mantra “healthy eating for your skin”.

Reaping the benefits of organics fruits and vegetables that are bright orange (think: carrots, pumpkin, melons, and oranges), this formula is a vitamin-enriched treat for your skin. Its paraben free formula combines precious Dead Sea mud, 26 minerals and the juices of fruits and vegetables all working together to detoxify and protect the body’s largest organ.

The key to this orange inspired masterpiece is that these fruits and veggies are known for the ingredient Beta-Carotene. This magical ingredient, known for its anti-oxidant and anti-aging qualities, is great for summer because it will also help reduce UV damage to the skin and hair by aiding in the recovery process.

So practice healthy eating for your skin; you may be surprised to see the wonders these veggies will do to the outside of your body.
