No More Dirty Looks

A Book Every Girl Should Own
Every girl likes to look her best. That is why she should read No More Dirty Looks: The Truth About Your Beauty Products, and the Ultimate Guide to Safe and Clean Cosmetics. Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt have delivered an easy-to-read, understandable source that answers the questions. It’s a treasure trove of useful information, suggested brands for hair, face, make-up, body, and nails, and even some DIY alternatives.

The book is eye-opening, interesting, informative, and yes, funny, too. It begins with the background information on how the beauty industry works in the U.S., and how it – well, doesn’t. For those who don’t care to know the history or details of it all, there is a short summary, and then you can jump to the next section, which details the top 20 scary ingredients that you want to avoid in health and beauty products.

Once the foundation is laid, O’Connor and Spunt then dive into each category one at a time: hair, face, make-up, body, and nails. They detail the concerns in each, describing the most typical offenders that you’ll find in mainstream products, and offering suggested clean and non-toxic brands, as well as home recipes and other alternatives, such as aloe vera for your curly hair gel. (note to self: buy some aloe vera)
