After watching a 22-year-old steal the scene on a swimsuit shoot in the late nineties, supermodel and actress Carol Alt felt a lifestyle change was in order. When she was diagnosed with uterine cancer a few years later, she was sure of it. To help reinvigorate her physical appearance and energy level while combating the cancer in her body, Alt turned to raw foods, the cultlike dietary regimen that calls for a return to a more primitive way of choosing and preparing food. Using predominantly whole, local, and organic staples that never felt the heat of her stove, she managed to put her cancer into remission while looking and feeling more youthful. Becoming the unofficial poster child for the movement, she has authored two best-selling books on raw nutrition and, starting tomorrow, she’ll bring her know-how and passion to HSN for the launch of Raw Essentials, her own line of raw skincare products. Devoid of synthetic preservatives and produced using a cold-processing technique that allows the nutrients in active ingredients to stay intact for maximum efficacy, the four-product line counts raw aloe vera, virgin coconut oil, and tamanu oil among its standout ingredients—the virtues of which Alt will be extolling in person at 3 p.m. EST on December 11. Check your local listings, slather some cashew butter on a rice cake, and tune in.
