A breath of fresh air!

I really love this book and all it has to offer! The world class photography combined with never seen before Spa techniques make this a 5 star publication. I never in a million years would've thought of mixing together the ingredients listed in this book. It is a cookbook for lasting youth and beauty. It's now obvious how so many Asian women attain a lifelong glow!

A touch of Bali in your home

I enjoyed this book more than Benge's other title, The Asian Spa, because it contains beauty and health remedies that can be enjoyed in one's home as opposed to in a Balinese spa. This book is considerate in that it does not assume one has unlimited funds available to spend on treatments. Instead it focuses on delightful and affordable beauty and health remedies. I tried the honey and cucumber facial and must agree that my skin looked radiant afterward. I also love that it explains the Asian philosophy of true beauty only being possible when one is serene. Because Benge is British, some of her words sound a bit odd to an American but it doesn't pose a great problem. The only problem I had with this book is that she doesn't list any sources where readers can buy some of the treatment ingredients. Many of the ingredients are extremely exotic (mud from Thailand, for example) and are impossible to find in the United States. It would have been helpful to list stores or websites where you can order some of the more rare ingredients. Overall, an enjoyable and inspirational book.
