Beauty Basics & Beyond: 101 Ways to Keep Your Hair and Skin Fabulous

This book has a wealth of information for women of color and some very great looking and artistic pictures.

This is a must have book for young black females, it has amazing photos of all different skin tones and hair types. Tips and tricks for makeup and hair care as well as taking care of your body. Even though its not a how to do book, it does have a wealth of information for you to take from. I just like looking through the book at the amazing photos. We as black women need more books like this which celebrate our diversity, black beauty is not just light brown skin and straight hair.

Presnets to the reader various images of black women and not only those with lighter skin or eurpopean features. Provides excellent information on hair care (relaxed, natural, locks), skin care and nutrition. The pictures are stunning and show the beauty of black skin. The advise and recommendations are excellent. Great book also to show to little black girls so that they can also learn how to take care of their skin. Enjoy!

I didn't purchase this book for its beauty tips and secrets. I love having it on my coffee table for visiting family and friends to look at. Its a joy watching their facial expressions as they look at the beautiful pictures. They only have admiring comments to share.

This book is incredible with the information and helpful tips they provide for maintaining healthy hair and caring for your skin, etc. I love Essence Magazine and I was not dissappointed at all in this book!!
