Fresh Face: Simple routines for beautiful glowing skin, every day Kindle Edition

I was not sure whether to give 3 or 4 stars to this book, because I have mixed feelings about it.When I first started reading it, I got frustrated: there was a lot of information about ingredients and zero links for research that proofs their effectiveness, plus some sections were so short they reminded me of Twitter threads. I had to put the book aside for a couple of weeks because of that initial impression.When I came back to it, however, I was happy to find the section with routines for every life situation and skin condition, and this was honestly something I was looking for and couldn't find.As always, all the recommendations from the book have to be taken with a grain of salt: I'm personally not a fan of home-made masks and would not use some of the suggested ingredients, but overall it's a good start for someone who wants to start building their skincare routine.Extra kudos for not naming specific products: this helped me get through the book before buying anything :)

This book reads more like a guide for someone very new to skincare, like maybe 6th grade? Also the author claims to be a science writer but doesn't cite any of her sources anywhere. If you use the phrase "clinically proven" you need to cite a source.I honestly want my money back.

it is full of good EXPLANATIONS for why things work. it doesnt break everything down to a microbiologist level, but thats nice because it still makes sense to a lay person. it is also full of great tips and natural solutions. As someone who is allergic to a lot of products, having dietary and natural possibilities is amazing.

As advertised with amazing price. Great for my coffee table.

The description of this book is not the contents.

good

I especially love the affirmations! It's a great go-to book for easy face mask recipes and inspiration to get you through your self-care day!

love the indepth look at skin and how it works from inside out.

very lovey

It's not a bad book per say, but I found out about the author on a youtube channel where she did a collab. I was so interested in what she had to say! She has two degrees (I think micro-biology and nutrition?) and was giving a recipe for a pumkpin oat milk to nourish your skin from inside out and explaining why it works and gut health and stuff. There's a bit of that in here but not as much as I was hoping to see (and no actual recipes). Mostly it's just a bunch of routines (with no actual product recommendations) like step 1: clean your face, step 2: toner, etc. It's very easily found on YouTube so I'm quite disappointed...
