Presnets to the reader various images of black women and not only those with lighter skin or eurpopean features. Provides excellent information on hair care (relaxed, natural, locks), skin care and nutrition. The pictures are stunning and show the beauty of black skin. The advise and recommendations are excellent. Great book also to show to little black girls so that they can also learn how to take care of their skin. Enjoy!

This book is incredible with the information and helpful tips they provide for maintaining healthy hair and caring for your skin, etc. I love Essence Magazine and I was not dissappointed at all in this book!!

This is a must have book for young black females, it has amazing photos of all different skin tones and hair types. Tips and tricks for makeup and hair care as well as taking care of your body. Even though its not a how to do book, it does have a wealth of information for you to take from. I just like looking through the book at the amazing photos. We as black women need more books like this which celebrate our diversity, black beauty is not just light brown skin and straight hair.

This book has a great deal of good, general information. It's a very helpful overview without getting too specific. Depending on what you are looking for this book may or may not be good for you. If you want specific product reccomendations, look elsewhere. After reading this book I still had to research different types of products and read up on product reviews. I wanted more from this book, something I could take to the store with me, if you will and use as a guide as to specific items I could benefit from. This was not it.

This book was very helpful to me because it provided tips on skin care and also how to take care of my hair.

This book has a wealth of information for women of color and some very great looking and artistic pictures.

I didn't purchase this book for its beauty tips and secrets. I love having it on my coffee table for visiting family and friends to look at. Its a joy watching their facial expressions as they look at the beautiful pictures. They only have admiring comments to share.
