USER REVIEWS
"This book is absolutely gorgeous. I have even given it as a gift, too! I have only used a few of the recipes, but they have all worked great! But more than anything, it is just a lovely book to sit and enjoy!"

"Book does good as far as just presenting several remedies as far as beauty is concerned but does not delve deep into the whys and remedies that can actually reverse aging. "

"First of all the cover fell off on the first day, but that was easily repaired with some glue.
This book has some good recipes in it, but not nearly enough to be a beauty book. Many of the ingredients are hard to find unless you now where to look.
There is a recipe for a sandalwood and tumeric mask and I warn anyone to make sure you rinse all of it off or you will have a yellow mess on all of you collars. Ask me how I now.
The pregnancy chapter is unnessesary. If I wanted a pregnancy book I would have bought one.
I wish the hair care chapter was longer. Indian women have such lovely hair.
Which brings me to my biggest complaint. One would think that a book title Beauty Secrets of India would have pictures of Indian women in it. Most of the picture are of Caucasian women. The only picture of of Indian women is that of a dancer and a small picture of the author on the back flap!"
