Publisher's Synopsis
This skin care handbook focuses on natural products and traditional routines for skin care, with applications from alternative therapies. The emphasis is on devising a personalized programme based on one's own skin type and making use of the advances in natural products from aromatherapy, the blending of essential oils and face lifts using acupressure, diet and other therapies, rather than surgery.;The book is organized in two parts. The first half begins with a checklist for beautiful skin, then moves through different skin types and the way to determine your own skin type. Later chapters describe programmes for cleansing, toning and moisturising, as well as special once-a-week treatments. The second half of the book concentrates on alternative therapies.
