Remarkable Skin-Care Regimens

The Buzz from the Beauty Editor
I think it's easy to go to extremes when approaching a skin-care routine, and I'm definitely guilty of this. Either I construct elaborate, impossible daily regimens involving countless products and dozens of steps, or I skip it all entirely and go to sleep with my makeup on. I've found that the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Product overload isn't healthy for your skin, your budget, or your schedule, and neglected skin looks, well, neglected. Find a simple, effective routine that you can stick with, and be consistent. Do it religiously, morning and night, and soon it will become a habit, like brushing your teeth. The following routines will help you get started. Pick one and try it exactly as prescribed, or pick just what works for you and your lifestyle. No matter what you choose, your skin will thank you for it.

I bought this book for my wife as a stocking stuffer and she loved it! She found all the great make-up tips to be really useful. Even I noticed a difference in her appearance when she started following the beauty tips. Great book!

This review is from: Secrets of the Beauty Insiders: Simple and Straightforward Top to Toe Tips for the Rest of Us (Paperback)

This is a great tool for anyone! It's full of great information for all women -- geared toward covering all beauty 'types'. And I found it so easy to read. It also very well laid out - all so that when I have a question or need to know how to do something that best suits me, I can find it so quickly. I'm not a beauty expert. I'm a busy mom of three (3 years and under!). It's nice to have something out there for someone like me - easy to follow and easy to use. And such great tips!

This book is not only useful for the advice of the experts, but also for the "real life" input from the author. Her every day tips are so useful as a simple guide for those of us who don't have time for a manicure every week or jetting off to our favorite stylist. Wish I could give it 6 stars!!
