You can completely take care of your body with this well done coffee table book. Your body, face and hair, it's all here. Everything is covered. There are chapters on color, hair, smell, aromatherapy, massage, aging and more. You learn so much about your body in this book, I just don't know where to start, from how your sense of smell works to the importance of face massage. This book will teach you how to protect your hair and skin. It'll teach you the history of the bath and how to apply blush. There is just too much here to mention. I just love this book.

The Body Shop Book Does A Body Good...

This book is excellent. It covers EVERYTHING about your bodyand how to maximize every feature and sensation. They discuss, skintypes and how to do what with what you have. And the same things for hair, makeup, and scent. The part that intrigued me the most was the part about reflexology, and massage. They show, with pictures, how to massage the foot, the hands, and the head (my favorite). And that is not all, it was just my favorite part! I am hardly the beautitian type and I learned a great amount of extremely useful tips from this book. A must have for every female.
