Jessica Alba loves holiday beauty prep

Saturday Oct 15 2011

Jessica Alba "loves getting a facial" in the run-up to the Christmas holidays.

The stunning actress is renowned for her gorgeous looks, and never looks anything less than perfectly groomed.

The star loves glamming herself up for the festive period in particular.

"In the lead up to Christmas, I love getting a facial to make my skin glow and having my nails done in dark purple, red, blue or grey," she said.

Jessica doesn't waste time styling her tresses. The brunette beauty would much rather tease her hair into a relaxed up-do and use accessories to amp up her style.

"When it comes to my hair, I don't like spending loads of time blow-drying it, especially if it's raining outside. Instead, I quickly put my hair up into a bun and dress it up by pinning in a vintage brooch," she explained in an interview with InStyle.

"I love getting creative when it comes to my beauty looks."
