Most of us want to look and feel our best. But did you know that research suggests that women expose themselves to over 200 chemicals a day through their persona-care products along? One in three women are now seeking products that are more natural or eco-friendly. But what is 'natural'? If just five per cent of a product's ingredients are natural, it can be marketed as 'natural', so how can we be sure that what we buy is indeed what it says?
In 'About Face', Kim Morrison and Fleur Whelligan provide a wealth of advice on skin care and self-care for today's busy women of all ages. Their emphasis is on holistic health and the use of natural products. Kim and Fleur will show you how to enjoy life and have fun while you age naturally and gracefully.
