Earth Day 2011- Beautify Your Face and the Planet
While every day should be “Earth Day,” April 22nd is the world’s official day to inspire awareness and appreciation for our planet! Since it’s obvious that Mother Earth is not in the best shape these days, it’s our duty to help her out! This year, beautify the earth by beautifying yourself! Trust me, you’ll feel good inside and out.

Kiehl’s
Kiehl’s is not only celebrating Earth Day this year, but also their 160th anniversary! In honor of these very important reasons to celebrate, Kiehls has enlisted actors Michael C. Hall and Chloe Sevigny to design limited-edition labels for their Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque. The masque helps purify and detoxify skin while minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. It is formulated with Amazonian white clay to gently draw out oil, dirt and toxins and the addition of oatmeal and aloe vera helps soothe, hydrate and protect sensitive skin.
All proceeds will go to the Waterkeeper Alliance, a charity that works against water pollution. Visit Kiehl’s site here.
Aveda

Chantecaille
Ok, so this may not be a deal but Chantecaille’s Sea Turtle Pallete is too gorgeous not to put on this list. At $78 a pop it’s definitely not cheap, but a portion of the proceeds go toward the Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation network. You’ll be able to justify dropping the cash if it helps sea turtles, right?
