Why Christine Taylor Made the Switch to Natural Beauty Products

Landov A veteran of the Hollywood makeup chair, Christine Taylor is still flaunting flawless skin at 41 thanks to a few simple habits she’s picked up along the way. “I’m really diligent,” the actress tells PEOPLE about her daily beauty routine, which starts and ends with a good cleanse. “I never miss the morning face wash or the nighttime face wash.” Even after partying into the wee hours at last week’s Met Gala with husband Ben Stiller? Oh yes.

Heidi Klum Is a ‘Wash and Wear’ Type of Gal

Landov Four kids and a crazy career mean that Heidi Klum has little time to think about her morning routine. “I’m more wash and wear,” Klum, the new face of  Clear Scalp Hair & Beauty Therapy , tells PEOPLE. “I just go in the shower, wash and condition [my hair] and just let it air dry.” And if she’s feeling crazy? “I put my hair behind my ears and I let it dry like that, so when I take it out it has a little bit of a wave.” Sounds simple, but once you start talking color, it gets complicated. “It’s a pain,” she admits. “Every five weeks I have to get my roots done

Political Science Professor to Discuss ‘War of the Womb’ at Cal Poly May 17 Alesha Doan, associate professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Kansas, will present “War of the Womb: Expanding Morality Policies in an Era of Small Government” at noon Thursday, May 17, in Room 104 in the Graphic Arts Building at Cal Poly. Doan will discuss how politicians and citizens opposed to “Obamacare” claim the policy is an unfair intrusion into individuals’ private lives. Critics, however, do not extend these same sentiments to the widespread government intrusion into the lives of women. Doan will talk about how the past year saw passage of many laws across the U.S. that some people have referred to as being “anti-women.” Doan will illustrate how anti-abortion advocates and politicians have used a strategy of “radical incrementalism” to create a 21st century “war of the womb.” Doan’s research examines social policies, with a specialized focus on reproductive policy and the intersection of race and gender within these policy areas. The talk is free and open to the public
