Item Description

Deborah Burnes, renowned beauty and skin care expert who lives right here in Sonoma County, has authored a definitive treatise of skin health....and signed a copy for you.

"Look Great, Live Green" is Burnes' guide to choosing beauty, safety and the health of the planet. Her writing blends her effervescent personality and knowledge of beauty products with a message of activism. The four Hollywood friends she enlists — actresses Kyra Sedgwick and Marcia Gay Harden, former model Keisha Whitaker, and Didiayer Snyder of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition — support her strongly in this message of activism. The book also includes Burnes' "Ten Simple Rules You Can Live By"; advice on Label Reading 101; natural alternatives; and recipes that readers can make in their own home. "Being green doesnt mean spending more green", states Burnes. "When you stop buying these products there's a cascade effect. You save money, your skin, your health. You save the planet. That's the best ending I could write."

Burnes has taken her background in cosmetology and modeling, and has built a repertoire of innovative products and techniques for pampering and preserving...you. Her company, sumbody, formulates skin care, bath, hair care and even substances suitable for baby care. As importantly, she demonstrates that all this can be accomplished whilst using sustainable methods of applying natural resources.

When she wasn’t in the lab, Burnes was putting the finishing touches on "Look Great, Live Green"  She envisioned writing her version of a beauty tell-all for years, and now has completed this tour de force.  Also check out Deborah's video blog on the book and go to "Extras" and then "Home" to pick up a copy for yourself.  It’s packed full of tips, tricks and recipes from my own lab so you can make scrubs, masks and cleansers right in your own home.
