Organized by the
season from spring to winter, Wendy Rowe, internationally known
make-up expert, gives tips on how to eat right to have healthy,
glowing skin. Each season features foods appropriate to the season, a
discussion of why they help to improve your health and skin, and
recipes for how to use them. If you’re familiar with healthy
eating, you'll recognize the foods. I particularly love avocados. I
tried her recipe for guacamole, and it’s great.
The book opens with
Wendy’s tips for staying healthy: avoiding stress, maintaining a
good digestion, quitting sugar, and eating a rainbow of fruits and
vegetables, among other suggestions. All of these ideas can be found
in other books about health and wellness, but Wendy’s succinct
presentation is helpful for recalling the importance of these ideas.
At the end of the
book Wendy discusses common skin ailments like psoriasis, eczema,
oily skin and more. In addition to discussing what the conditions are
and what causes them, she discusses foods that can help to control
the problems. She also gives recipes for making your own scrubs and
cleansers. The final part of the book discusses her skin care routine
and gives a section on plants, like ginger, aloe vera, and cinnamon, that can be used to treat ailments,.
I found this a very
helpful book. The recipes I’ve tried are delicious,and the
information about skin care is valuable. The pictures are beautiful
showing young women with perfect skin. I do wish some older women had
been featured to show what the routine can do for women older than
twenty-somethings.
I recommend the book
if you’re looking for healthy recipes and a good way to take care
of your skin.
I received this book
from Blogging for Books for this review.
