Guide Review - The Beauty Bible, 2nd edition by Paula Begoun
This is a well-researched book that contains the latest information about skin care and cosmetics. Paula Begoun evaluates skin-care formulations based on their ingredients and compares the company’s claims to the latest research about that ingredient. She also outlines a no-nonsense approach to various aspects of skin care and makeup application. Paula’s ultimate commandment is “Thou shalt be an informed consumer, because what you don’t know can cost you dearly in terms of your skin, appearance, and money.”
