Skin care expert Narine Nikogosian launched her new book, RETURN TO BEAUTY, with the hopes that women everywhere would put down those chemical-laden jars of useless overpriced beauty products. She suggests a gentle, all natural, and effective routine for skincare with the help of your own grocery list.

Nikogosian’s RETURN TO BEAUTY offers readers:

1. Easy-to-follow recipes for whipping up moisturizers, scrubs, masks, and more—with fresh, natural ingredients found in your own kitchen, or any grocery store! Each recipe is accompanied by explanations of the cleansing or healing qualities of each ingredient, and simple instructions for cooking and storing the final product.

2. Healthy, safe, and affordable solutions without the toxic chemicals in your skin creams. Many women don’t know that cosmetics don’t even need FDA approval. Nikogosian’s techniques involve simple, fresh ingredients—like yogurt, honey, cucumbers, and other fruits and vegetables—that are both easy on the wallet and on the delicate skin of your face.

3. Helpful shopping lists by season and skin type depending on the time of the year. Nikogosian breaks down your shopping needs in the grocery store and the drugstore by season and skin type, with an eye to budget-friendly options.
