Product Description
Spa expert Barbara Close has created a holistic guide to beautiful skin, covering everything from organic products to detox to stress relief. In the tradition of her popular Spa Deck and Well Being, Pure Skin is a natural, no-nonsense approach to skin care. Demystifying beauty-industry hype, Close helps readers understand what makes their skin unique, how skin really functions, and how to make sense of the multisyllabic minefield that is a cosmetics label. With balance as a main ingredient, readers develop a skin-care regimen to suit their individual needs. Forty recipes for natural beauty treatments introduce luxurious alternatives to industrial products. Sensible and accessible sections on food and detox reveal simple and effective ways to nourish and restore skin from the inside out. Special attention is given to curatives such as homeopathy and Bach flower remedies, offering invaluable resources for those with hard-to-treat skin problems. Evocative photography and clear advice make this indispensable guide to naturally beautiful skin the next best thing to being born with it.

• Holistic Skin Care At Its Best 14 July, 2006
I absolutely loved this book. I am an esthetician and getting into holistic facials. I've learned so much and share this book with many people. It explains skin type and what essential oils to use on what type. I also love the easy recipes.

• Great Book 30 January, 2008
I ordered the book because I liked the review here and those pages I could brouse. I received this book yesterday and was absolutely charmed with everything about it: from its simple but elegant design to tons of easy-to-follow, wonderfully useful reccomedations. One of the best features -- its new system of skin types, much more reasonable and helpful than usual dry-normal-oily system.

• Great Book! 04 February, 2008
I'm rather picky when it comes to all natural beauty guides--often disappointed by the simple "recipes" I could probably figure out by myself (ie: add five drops of essential oil to unscented lotion). The beauty recipes in this book are limited, but more complex and actually worth trying/using. Good information on essential oils and blending, as well as a few tasty [food]recipes. This is a wonderful natural spa book. I especially love how the author doesn't use [the book] as a tool to push Naturopathica products =)

• Great Resource 22 May, 2008
The way that skin types are described in this book is one of the most inclusive and helpful set of definitions that I've come across.
