natural skin care : Natural Ways to Look and Feel Good

The quest for a youthful face is more than a sign of vanity - it's a reflection of the desire to be healthy and feel good. Give Your Face a Lift unites these ideas into a beautiful full-color guide to natural face care. This book tells how to give oneself a "natural face-lift" using oils, creams, masks, and homemade products to nourish and beautify the skin. It shows how to reduce worry lines, relieve unwanted stress, and uncover inner radiance. Step-by-step color photographs illustrate how to do a full facial massage. Unlike other books on the market, Give Your Face a Lift presents custom-designed, weight-bearing exercises that tighten facial muscles and improve definition. Alternative approaches including acupressure and aromatherapy are part of the author's arsenal of tools and techniques.
