Summary

How to create natural radiance and good health by embracing an organic approach. Chemical-free products for skin and body together with natural foods and exercise help us tap into our source of beauty and well-being. Here the focus is on inner health as a way of achieving organic beauty. Why Go Organic? Aware of our increasing distrust in the chemical additives and preservatives present in both food and beauty products, Organic Beauty works with only natural ingredients and methods of preparation offering a pure and simple approach to looking and feeling good. Unlike any other beauty book, Organic Beauty casts a discerning eye over the confusing number of products that claim to be "natural," and features an illustrated directory of the ingredients used in cosmetics currently on the market. It also outlines the complementary therapies that will boost our inner well-being and promote outer beauty. Organic Beauty shows women of all ages how to achieve a natural radiance and positively glow with good health by pursuing a holistic approach -- balancing diet, exercise, and state of mind. By gently caring for and respecting every part of our being's needs, Organic Beauty aims to make looking after yourself truly pleasurable and sustainable throughout every stage of your life. It covers each aspect of health and beauty management, from anti-stress massage techniques and organic facials to rejuvenating pedicures and winding down after work. Organic Beauty is the new approach to skin and bodycare for the millennium, with great feel-good appeal: what's best for body and mind and best for the planet.
