Check out these 10 steps you can take to help your planet be as beautiful as you!

1. Try a low-flow showerhead.  New models use about half the water of a standard one, says Dale Kemery of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

2. Take quick shows. A bath uses 50 to 70 gallons of water; a five-minute, 10 to 25.  Turn off the faucet to shave and save up to ten gallons of water.

3. Come Clean. Recycle body wash bottles – or use bar soap. If every household did so, we'd keep up to 2.5 million pounds of plastic out of landfills.

4. Bulk up. Buy econo-size jugs of shampoo and conditioner, then refill smaller bottles so you purchase less plastic, says Elizabeth Wiatt of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

5. Pick organic cotton balls. Conventionally grown cotton is assaulted with pesticides.

6. Take it back. Care by Stella McCartney and Kiehl's will recycle your empties. M.A.C. gives a free lipstick for every six returned.

7. Waste not. Unplug electric tools when not in use. And air-dry tools when possible – hair dryers are a huge energy drain. "A daily ten-minute blow-dry can send 110 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air a year," says Jessica Van Steensurg of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association.

8. Buy from charitable companies. Lancome teams up with carbonfund.org which supports carbon-reducing projects.  Paul Mitchell funds tree-planting through American Forests.  Kiss My Face donates to Gore's Alliance for Climate Control.  And Aveda and Tom's of Main gives to clean-water charities.

9. Use your head. Ask your colorist to do foils with recycled instead of virgin aluminum.

10. Waste Management. Some products – hair color, hair spray, nail polish and remover qualify as Hazardous Household Waste and should be disposed of at a waste facility rather than tosses in a garbage can after use.  See earth911.org for more information.
