Rona Berg knows that sometimes women have dry skin. Or tired eyes. Or limp hair. Or a pimple. And as a beauty expert, she knows exactly what to do about it. Drawing on years of covering the beauty industry, working behind the scenes at fashion shows, fixing actresses' and models' beauty meltdowns, and learning insider information from hundreds of consultants and make-up artists, Ms. Berg--author of Beauty: The New Basics, with 122,000 copies in print--offers up the best 1,000 tried-and-true tips. Indexed by problem and solution, Fast Beauty is indispensable, filled with the kinds of advice, ideas, and help that sell millions of women's magazines a month. Spa tips. Anti-stress tips. The "20-second face," "the two-minute face," the "five-minute face." Innovative remedies: Rub olive oil into dry cuticles to soften them; use honey to get rid of a pimple overnight; to tighten the face temporarily, apply tomato juice (preferably fresh-squeezed) for ten minutes, and for the reverse--if your face is tight from too much sun--apply plain yogurt to the skin and leave on for ten minutes. A full chapter shows how to solve beauty pitfalls caused by hormones at all stages of life; another deals with various problems caused by working out. And for every busy businesswoman, it tells what quick fix to use when heading into an important meeting straight off the red-eye--or heading straight from the office out on a blind date.

Great Book:
It's great book with so many useful tips and has something for evey member of the family.
Waste of money:
Sorry, but this book is not worth having. I couldn't believe some of the worthless tips, some very questionable -- both the value and safety of them. I got the feeling that nothing but supposed beauty mattered, health being secondary. The harsh items she says, in "emergency" situations, to use on your skin, around eyes... I'm more health-oriented, prefer natural or home-made products, yet still want to use the best, and ideally safest, cosmetics available. Health being top priority. I think the kiwi on the... more info
very basic info:
