Editorial Review:

The all-new third edition of The Original Beauty Bible is Paula Begoun's most comprehensive book yet. Exhaustively researched, this refreshingly honest guide cuts through marketing hype to educate consumers on all aspects of beauty, including how to assemble a state-of-the-art skin-care routine, choose a cosmetic surgeon, and apply makeup like a pro. It provides the latest research and information on every imaginable cosmetic innovation, with a special emphasis on skin-care ingredients, and explains the pros and cons of all types of cosmetic surgery and corrective procedures in an engaging, easy-to-understand style. Covering the most critical topics in beauty in a factual, no-holds-barred manner, and packed with money-saving tips, The Original Beauty Bible affirms Begoun's reputation as "The Ralph Nader of Rouge." For readers of all ages, it's the ultimate guide to smart beauty.

A must read for every woman:

Paula Begoun is an amazing woman who has dedicated her life to skin care and skin care products.
The Original Beauty Bible is a guideline to skin care and makeup that every woman should read.

The author's failure to provide an index coupled with her "chatty" style, makes finding information on a specific condition, ingredient, technology, procedure, solution, whatever -- mind numbing.
Heavy throughout the text -- a shameless hawking of the... more info

This book might change your skin:

I wasn't going to write a review for this book, but thought I should in case anyone's thinking about whether or not to purchase/read this book. Go ahead and get it - someone in your family or a work friend will probably also get something out of it. I have found the book absolutely wonderful and interesting and informative about skin care. I saw dermatologists/naturopaths for years for a few different skin issues, but still felt unhelped, and am also interested, aside from those issues, on looking after my... more info

Good but not great.:

The information presented seems very complete. However, how anyone can write a guide such as this and leave out an index is beyond me. Finding the information for which I am looking is hit or miss since the index is nonexistent. I shouldn't have to go page by page through this large book to find the specific facts and products I need.
