The perfect gift book from Paris's iconic apothecary L'Officine
Universelle Buly captures the elegance and sophistication of the
Parisian beauty standard in a beautifully illustrated and detailed
guide--with easy-to-follow recipes--to retaining and enhancing natural
beauty.
"Nothing is simpler, more enjoyable, more self-evident, or more
efficient than taking good, natural care of yourself." This is the
philosophy of L'Officine Universelle Buly, a reincarnation of the
legendary Parisian beauty emporium established in 1803. Since then, it
has brought natural skin and body care to seven cities across the world,
offering clays, oils, plant-based powders, and other gifts from nature
collected by Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami over the course of
their international travels. An Atlas of Natural Beauty is the result
of their research and passion: an encyclopedic guide to simple recipes
and protocols that will help anyone retain and enhance their natural
beauty.
This exquisitely designed book allows you to sample Buly's unique
aesthetic heritage as a French apothecary, as well as discover the
modern uses, properties, and home beauty recipes for more than eighty
exotic and diverse range of seeds, flowers, oils, trees, fruits, and
herbs. From apricot and avocado to argan oil, jasmine, and jojoba, each
ingredient is accompanied by a gorgeous illustration, its providence,
its primary use, and recipes for how to use it as a beauty solution now.
These ingredients are easy to find, and the recipes are easy to
replicate, whether it's making a simple oat bath to smooth skin, a sake
lotion for your scalp, or a lemon "shine water" to brighten blonde hair.
An Atlas of Natural Beauty is the perfect gift for newcomers and
obsessives alike, empowering us all to take care of ourselves and feel
confident in our skin.
