This is one of the most creative beauty books I have ever read. In general when I talk with friends about different beauty regimes and products it is always in the current moment and what is available right now. This book has a nice twist to it in that it starts with beauty procedures and products from as early as Cleopatra in 31 BC. It then moves slowly forward in time and explains beauty regimes and products for famous people such Mary of Galilee to Lucrezia Borgia and many more.The second section of the book explains various body parts and their requirements for keeping them healthy and an extensive list of ingredients including essential oils, fruits and vegetables and bases. This section is very informative and educates and prepares you for the last section.The last, and third section is the recipes. This of course is where everything "comes together". All the history and education will help you in deciding what your beauty regime will start out as and help you to plan on where you would like to go with all the options available to you.A book like this does not come along everyday and I found it to be creative, educational and entertaining. Highly recommended.
