Do we really want to encourage young girls to be obsessed with their appearance?
Perhaps i am missing something.
Can someone please explain?
Natalie Zee Drieusays:
This has nothing to do with being obsessed with appearance. Cleaning your face/skin is something all of us need to do at any age. Skincare isn’t makeup and we are showing them that natural skincare is best over buying products filled with chemicals.

A book marketed specifically to young girls with the tagline, “if you feel good, you look good.” sent up a red flag in my mind.
Thank you for clarifying.
Natalie Zee Drieusays:
I actually can’t find the tagline you mention anywhere in the book or on the site. The tagline of the book is actually “Create Your Own Natural Spa Experience”. Also, the tagline you mention seems fine to me since it’s about feeling good. Were it reversed, to look good/feel good then I could see it raising a red flag.
Sammsays:
The quote is on the back cover of the book.
This quote along with the title of the book lead me to believe it was focused on beauty, not hygiene. This is also clearly marketed solely to girls.
Perhaps i am being overly sensitive, but i think that the societal pressures for young girls to look a certain way are awful. I’m not saying that a single beauty book is responsible, but I don’t think it helps.
