As a society, our relationship with beauty is in crisis. The media assault us with images that lead us away from our own unique beauty; they encourage us to be like someone else, rather than become more of who we truly are. In response to this damaging trend, 'Awakening Beauty, The Dr Hauschka Way' empowers women to discover and restore their inherent beauty, and teaches them how to nourish it for a lifetime.
Susan West Kurz, a trained esthetician and president of Dr Hauschka’s US division, explains how skin reflects and reacts to our entire being - physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual - then outlines a course of healing with attention paid to each component. The exercises and prescriptions are not tied directly to the Dr Hauschka Skin Care Line; rather, Susan’s program is guided by the Dr Hauschka philosophy of repairing skin with pure botanical ingredients - readily available herbs and essential oils, for instance - and aligning the body with its natural rhythms through meditation, diet, and exercise.
The book includes:
- Exercises for reducing stress and maximizing energy
- Usage guidelines for restoring the skin’s vitality and treating specific conditions with medicinal plants
- A discussion of the five categories of skin types: oily, dry, sensitive, aging, and normal
- Gentle home treatments for cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and night care
- An explanation of how radiant skin is tied to proper digestion and kidney functions and a routine for care
- Ways of supporting healthy skin care through spiritual awareness and inner strength
- A thirty-day program of prescriptive and synergistic suggestions for diet, fitness, and skin therapy
- Dozens of recipes targeting the foods and combinations of foods that support the Dr Hauschka program for healthy skin
More than a straightforward program for plant-based skincare, 'Awakening Beauty. The Dr Hauschka Way' is a complete lifestyle manual, with practical advice for slowing down, finding balance, and discovering the true natural beauty that already exists in every one of us.
