Description: "The definitive guide to a new generation of natural beauty, skincare and makeup. Choosing natural beauty doesn't mean ditching hi-tech products in favour of homemade potions.

This honest, expert book will teach you how to recognise what your skin needs and how to buy the best products for you. It offers both time-honoured and modern techniques, tips and guidance for all ages, and showcases the powerful ingredients and brands that you need to know about."--Backcover.
