Women Get In on Charity Moustache Madness with ‘Defember’

True, we don’t love to talk about it, but sometimes it happens: upper lip hair. That dark, pesky ‘misstache’ that’s not so flattering can be a pain — though often a necessity — to disguise or remove.

To make the process a little more enjoyable, Olay is making a play on the popular Movember charity movement and talking up Defember, a campaign encouraging women to defuzz for a cause. For every woman who visits Olay’s Facebook page and pledges to nix her misstache this month, the brand will donate one dollar (up to $50,000) to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

A slew of celebrities — including Jenny McCarthy, Kourtney Kardashian, LaLa Anthony and Real Housewives star Kelly Bensimon — are already in on the fun, and have pledged their support through silly TwitPics they created using Olay’s MISStache Swap Facebook app. Learn more — and lend your support to the cause — at olay.com/defember.

On Glee, Naya Rivera plays fresh-faced cheerleader beauty Santana Lopez — but away from the cameras, the actress admits it has taken a lot to achieve her picture-perfect look.

“I had really bad skin for awhile earlier this year,” Rivera said Tuesday on the set of her Proactiv shoot, where she revealed to PEOPLE exclusively that she is the brand’s new spokesperson. “It sort of just came out of nowhere. It was like adult acne, and I was like, I’ve had great skin my entire life. How am I dealing with this now at 24?”

The actress says once her problem surfaced, filming FOX’s hit show became less comfortable.

After refusing to wear makeup in We Bought a Zoo, Scarlett Johnasson reveals that when she’s not portraying a character, she’s actually quite fond of putting on a face.

“I always like to put a little bit of makeup on,” she tells Style.com. “I’m not the kind of person that just slops around in sweatpants. I like to feel a little more together — you never know who you’re going to see out there!”

“My absolute must-have is a really rich and vibrant red lipstick,” she reveals of the look that has become synonymous with her red-carpet bombshell motif. “I always keep red lipstick in my bag because I never know when I might show up to an event and be completely underdressed. I feel like red lipstick is the cure-all for everything.”

Winter Skincare Tips from Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham’s Trusted Pro

Winter brings a lot of fun, but it can also bring some serious skin problems. Harsh temperatures and whipping winds dry the skin, but walking into warm buildings can totally confuse it. “Skin has to fight for its life against infections and bugs that are common this time of year,” British skincare expert Julie Cichocki tells PEOPLE. “All this can make the skin dry and increase sensitivity.”

To combat those effects, many women slather on the moisturizer, but Cichocki warns against this. “That can result in blocking the pores, bombarding the skin, preventing it from breathing and consequently increase the problems,” she explains. “We like to keep it simple.”

Jennifer Aniston (Sort of) Admits to Using Injectables

Jennifer Aniston thanks her Greek genes for her cool California glow, but the actress admits she’s starting to see a few negative effects from her years of sun worshiping.

“I’ve started getting those little sun spots,” she tells InStyle. “Things are beginning to pop out. Even the texture [of my skin] is changing. So I’ve recently started zapping the spots and getting spray tans whenever I can. And I’ve graduated to using SPF 60 sunblock when I’m on the beach.”

She quickly dispels any rumors of cosmetic enhancements, however. “People think that I do a lot of injections, but I don’t,” she states. “I’m not saying that I haven’t tried it … but I see how it’s a slippery slope.” Still, she plans to stay away for the time being. “All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me,” she shares.

Kate Winslet’s ‘Golden’ Gift Idea

Hats off to Kate Winslet for making the act of giving that much more beautiful. After lending her voice to the documentary A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism, Winslet founded the Golden Hat Foundation, named after a featured poem of the same name.

“Lancôme has given me the strength to go all the way, and I know this will open many doors,” the brand ambassadress says of the company’s Golden Hat range. Comprised of holiday-ready luminous powders, moisture-rich lipsticks and five new shades of nail polish, the collection “is so stunning and gorgeous and perfect for now,” Winslet tells Stylelist. “I mean, the colors are really festive.”

Ranging from $15-$40, the products, which are embossed with the foundation’s signature hat, help to promote awareness for children afflicted with non-verbal autism. (The actress has also spearheaded a book initiative of the same name, which features a slew of celebs all wearing the same golden topper.)
