This 35 page book has a great potential but only if it is heavily edited by someone fully conversant in English.The author is, apparently Greek, so she either has a weak grasp of English, or used computer software to translate Greek into English. At any rate, I am tempted to be cute and state, "It was a difficult slog to work through this book, but it was all Greek to me."Doing so would be unfair, so I will display what I find interests me and what I found annoying or downright frustrating.First, though, what I found disappointing was the author's early and frequent attempt to sell another book. Such plugs are wisely placed only after so short a piece as is this 35 page teaser.Okay, what I liked, or found that intrigued me:This home remedy for pimples is fascinating, if it works - "Cinnamon is a normal zest and enhancing agent yet the fundamental oil it holds additionally has solid hostile to microbial properties. The water action of low is low and this implies that it doesn't hold a considerable measure of dampness which can push the development of micro organisms.""Recognizing that pimples regularly emerge from a spoiling inside the pores of the skin, joining cinnamon with nectar is a successful cure.""Procedures:""1. Mix a little cinnamon powder with a bit nectar to make a glue (abstain from including water on the grounds that it will crush the activity of nectar).""2. Dab a tad bit of the glue on every pimple and permit to remain overnight (wash off with tepid water the following morning).""3. Repeat for a couple of days."As you may see, the English above is a bit tough to work through, but it may be worth the effort if this remedy actually works. Be careful though. When I was a teen, my Grandfather he'd me trying a concoction of sulphur powder and honey. It tasted horrible and failed to do any good. At least the cinnamon-nectar isn't consumed!Also beware, other passages are far more difficult to ascertain what the author is explaining, so poor is the translation.I would hope someone reading this review who also is conversant in Greek and in English, will offer to competently translate for the writer. I suspect the book would find a large audience for, as I stated above, I love the concept of natural medicines that is addressed in Natural Skin Remedies: 25 Natural Skin Remedies to Prevent and Cure Skin Problems.Until this booklet gets re-edited by someone able to set it into discernible English, I do not recommend its purchase. It is simply too much work and/or too much risk to put these instructions into use.
