Although this book on women and beauty was written over 20 years ago I found it both relevant and refreshing. The author Sophia Loren gives her opinions gently but firmly and she makes reading about her life both entertaining and informative. Here are some of the chapters:

Some Thoughts on Beauty

The Pursuit of Beauty (in which she covers discipline, hair, skin, make-up, fashion and style, healthy diet, and exercise.)

The Mystery of Beauty (in which she covers charm, men and love, pregnancy and motherhood, tranquility, and coming to terms with age.

I certainly think any woman interested in beauty, especially women over 30 years of age would find much useful information in this book.

While reading the book, i was under the impression I was chatting with my good friend Sophia! I found her advises very helpfull( even though the book was published in the eighties). Great scence of humor. I want to read another book by Sophia!

Looking for some seriously useful beauty advice from a time before Botox?
I know it's hard to believe, especially as this book was published before I was born!
This is it... some fantastic skin advice as to makeup, moisturizers, even making your own exfoliators and masks!

I found Sophia's perspective to be warm, refreshing, charming and above all, practical. You will too!

What a great book for any woman. Like the other poster mentioned, although it was written a few decades ago, it IS still relevant. I love the way she writes, easy to read and some great tips. Also makes a great coffee table book as it is an interesting, fashionable book of beauty.

This book was not only full of great litle beauty tips but was also a good read, very entertaining!

Wife really enjoyed it. It is a bit out of date but enjoyable reading she said.
