In Part I of this timely book, she explains the historical roots of the search for beauty, and how it has led to a $60 billion cosmetics industry that misleads and confuses consumers on everything from product effectiveness to toxicity. In Part II, Burnes details options for buying natural and organic products in a range of budgets, with each graded on a \"good,\" \"better,\" or \"best\" scale in terms of chemical content and overall health impact. Part III discusses the positive effects chemical-free products have on overall health, and how those effects are expressed in the appearance of our skin. Part IV contains a wealth of facts, tips, and shortcuts to help consumers experience living green and enhancing personal beauty. Written in an engaging style but based in science, \u003ci\u003eLook Great, Live Green \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fresh perspective on living an eco-friendly, body-friendly, beauty-friendly lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner, 2010 IBPA Ben Franklin Awards for Cover Design \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"These are simple choices we can all make without creating any negative impact on our personal lives; [they] benefit us all....
