Enjoy the most healthful and luxurious beauty treatments from the best spas worldwide, using ingredients from your own kitchen. The pursuit of beauty today is happily fused with a desire for inner health. Drawing from her extensive travels, fashion model Dawn Gallagher presents a natural, multicultural approach to beauty care. She has collected recipes from spas all over the world and translated them into simple treatments one can do at home. This book is a collection of ancient and modern beauty secrets, healing practices for mind and body, and lifestyle tips for health and vitality from exotic locations in Arabia, the Caribbean, the Far East, India, South Africa, and the Indian Ocean islands. Few of us have the time or money to drop everything and escape to the tropics, so here’s a top-to-toe revitalizing program you can do in the comfort of your own home. And in a move away from costly, chemical-laden cosmetics and beauty products, the book offers natural alternatives using healthy ingredients from your own kitchen—such as avocado, banana, olive oil, and yogurt—at a fraction of the price. Brimming with gorgeous photographs, easy-to-follow recipes, and multicultural beauty tips, Nature’s Beauty Secrets transports the reader to a world of beauty, pampering, and relaxation.

More About the Author
Hi there! Thank you for checking out my book. Here is a great way to experience your own spa in your home without spending a fortune! Please also go to my website for more great beauty tips www.dawngallagher.com. Ever since I was a young girl, I loved making natural beauty treatments. I would also day dream about traveling the world and visiting other cultures. Later, when I became a fashion model and TV host, taking care of my appearance was a required part of the job. Through my work, I have been so fortunate to have traveled around the world and been exposed to many different cultures. It was amazing to learn the beauty and wellness secrets of the region. I often spent a few days at a local spa to unwind and gain insights into ancient and indigenous beauty treatments, then go home and create recipes based on my experience. I hope you read my book so you, too, can experience these wonderful treatments from across the globe.

What a wonderful follow up to Ms. Gallagher's first beauty book! The reader will be amazed with the fabulous recipes for beauty the author has created; indulgent and luxurious. I love being pampered at the spa; this book brings that experience into my home. Being a Registered Nurse, I am consistently promoting a regime for wellness to my patients and families and this book will be on my "highly recommend" list! It gives the reader tangible alternatives to all those products on the market overloaded with chemicals; natural ways to pamper oneself. Ms. Gallagher has given me the tools to promote a natural beauty from within and I plan to take a "spa staycation" every chance I get:)

I really found this book to be a excellent resource to re-create a spa experience at home. The recipes are easy to follow and I love that I can buy most of the ingredients at my local grocery store. Pampering yourself at home is finally made easy. As a fellow reviewer said-a must have for moms!
Aside from a beauty resource, the book is a travel guide! I have been to a couple of the spas reviewed in the book and will use it as a reference source for future destinations. Beautiful book that soothes with each turn of the page.
Many thanks to the author for bringing beauty with easy to my home.

With my baby turning two soon I recently realized that the one most neglected was me. This book has rejuvenated me and given me a simple way to pamper myself so that I can take care of those I love. The simple inexpensive techniques and products make taking care of me guilt free. This should be part of every new mother survival kit. I know what I will be giving this book as gifts at any future baby shower.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!!
