Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA-Hinds has done a stunning job of celebrating the spirit-building wellness of African-American women. The book is old-fashioned and full of zest, and includes many of the ingredients that teenaged girls need to be healthy. Readers will learn how to cleanse and moisturize their skin and make facial masks at home, and acquire expert advice on beginning a fitness program. Facts are provided about how to treat, care for, and love their hair; assess its condition; and select styles that are best for individual facial features. The author also gives advice on how to balance one's life, tap into one's soul power, and find peace in the new millennium. Last but not least, a sprinkling of beauty secrets from celebrities and experts around the world is included. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs. YAs searching for a book about pampering themselves from head to toe would do well with this book.

By D. Germaine Bell (Harlem, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essence Total Makeover: Body, Beauty, Spirit (Hardcover)
Finally a book that celebrates the beauty of Black women in every shape, size, and shade. This book, filled with stunning photographs of beautiful Black women, offers practical advice on hair care, skin care, nutrition, exercise, and self-care. Not just a cosmetic make-over, but a total body make-over. There are recipes and tips for creating a luxurious in-home spa environment with ingredients you may already have in you home. It's like having the indispensible information in every issue of Essence, right at your finger tips.

Finally A Beauty Book for African American Women,
This review is from: The Essence Total Makeover: Body, Beauty, Spirit (Hardcover)
The Essence Total Makeover book is wonderful. It provides all kinds of insights into black skin and hair care. The illustrations and pictures are great. I have always had questions about my skin and how to care for it. I have finally found the answers to my skin and make-up care questions. Thank you, Essence, for writing a beauty book for African American women.
