Fit Beauty: Going green and looking good

So you want to make a commitment to being green so you've started taking public transport to work -- or maybe you bike or walk. You've also started to make sure you turn off any electrical equipment when it's not in use and you're taking shorter showers to save water. You reduce, reuse and recycle too.

But what about your beauty products? If you're interested in going green with your face, hair and skin products as well, you should check out this piece that offers suggestions for 10 Eco-friendly beauty products that will help you look good and save the planet.

A range of different products are discussed including:

• Kiss My Face Self-Foaming Hand Soap - all-natural and biodegradable, according to the article 1 bottle lasts for ages and you can choose from 4 different scents.
• Jason Sea Fresh Toothpaste: Deep Sea Spearmint - going green for beauty can encompass more than just skin and hair. This Eco-friendly toothpaste is made of organic ingredients and is fluoride and preservative free.

Additional items listed include a recovery gel, body milk, face wash, deodorant, and even toothpicks! Links to the websites where you can purchase each of the products are included as well as a price range for each item. As an added bonus, you can follow the link below each of the product descriptions to a quiz that promises to let you know just how 'green' you really are.
