Uneducated Garbage

This woman and her book were worthless, basic and a waste of my time and money. I was very dissapointed with her information and recommendations, they were no-brainers and for beginners who don't know what to think or do. Also, I find her credentials and style to be below par. Skip this book and find something from a professional.

Susan Ciminelli gives great advice

The book does give great advice and ways to give your skin what it needs. I think everyone should read this. I do recommend going on her website to take a look at it. I was actually surprised how pricey her treatments and products were. Choose products carefully and shop around by looking at ingredience that Susan told you about in her book. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get what you want for a more reasonable price. Overall the book itself is great. If you can afford her products on the website it is probably worth the splurge.

An Inside Out Approach to Skin Care

Ciminelli's book is subtitled "A 7-Day Plan for Radiant Skin", and it offers directions for skin care and cleansing, as well as recipes that she says will help detoxify your system and give your skin a chance to be its glowing best. The recipes are easy and good and don't require a truck load of ingredients to make. Some of the recipes included are: Watercress Salad with Pine Nuts and Roasted Shallots, Beet and Goat Cheese Salad, Tuscan Bean Soup, Asian Roasted Chicken and Red Snapper with Shallot-Herb Sauce, to name a few.

The author also includes tips for how to make masks and moisturizers, as well as advice on skin care through the changing seasons. There is a tiny section on skin care for men, too, but it's pretty slim.

The author also gives tips for skin care through the seasons and offers suggestions on how to use her recipes and suggestions for 7 days to see a real difference in your skin. Yoga is also mentioned as an aid to her beauty regimen, and several poses are explained and encouraged.

I liked this book and would recommend it if you want a back to nature approach to skin care.
