520    "Nadine Artemis invites us to rethink conventional notions
       of beauty and wellness, to abandon established regimes and
       commercial products, and to embrace "renegade" beauty--a 
       practice of doing less and allowing the elements and the 
       life force of Nature to revive the body, skin, and soul so
       that the natural radiance of our own beauty can shine 
       through. This engaging book explains how our ancestors 
       lived deeply rooted in and reliant on nature, though now 
       we have lost our connection with the elements that once 
       sustained us. The author takes us on a trip to the not too
       distant past when our lives were integrated with nature, 
       which furnished our health and beauty. She exposes the 
       philosophy that caused this shift and examines why and 
       when we withdrew from the natural world around us, and the
       devastating health, emotional, and cultural problems that 
       resulted. Along the way, she reviews historical 
       definitions of beauty from ancient Egypt to Plato, the 
       Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, and the Golden 
       Mean. Anyone stuck in perpetual loops of new products, 
       facials, and dermatologist appointments will find answers 
       as Artemis introduces the energizing elements of sun, 
       fresh air, water, the earth, and plants. She invites 
       readers to ditch their regimes and simplify their routines
       as she leads us on a joyful journey of cellular 
       rejuvenation. Tackling common beauty complaints, she 
       offers practical botanical, microbial, and dietary 
       suggestions to rejuvenate the cells, reenergize health, 
       and allow beauty to bloom. She draws on current nutrition 
       research to advise us about which foods are health 
       sustaining and which should be avoided. As we shift toward
       chemical free and environmentally safe self-care products,
       this book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to
       simplify their self-care routine, discover their own 
       radiant beauty, and take their health into their own 
       hands"--|cProvided by publisher.
