SYNOPSIS:

The Beauty Principal is a total beauty program designed for the way women live today.

Victoria Principal, one of today's most beautiful and admired women, represents the ideal in vibrant American beauty.  But "Being beautiful takes work—only in fairy tales are women born perfect and able to stay that way without any effort."  In The Beauty Principal Victoria shares all she has learned in her professional and personal life about achieving and maintaining her sparkling good looks.  Starting with her eight principles of beauty, from "take pride in yourself" to "learn when to break the rules," she'll lead you step by step through her own regimen—a regimen that can be adapted to any woman's life style, age or physical features.

Victoria's number one best-selling book, The Body Principal, showed how to incorporate an effective fitness regimen into a busy daily life.  Now she brings the same workable, fun approach to a total beauty program, and show you how to individualize basic professional beauty techniques to enable you to look your glamorous, personal best.

The Beauty Principal includes a myriad of tips and techniques for every beauty need.

Skin care—Routines for cleansing, moisturizing and feeding every type of skin; how to choose skin care products; how to deal with special skin problems as well as those occasional changes that affect your skin's condition, such as sun, wind or change of environment.

Makeup—A complete explanation of terms, tools and techniques for quick, easy makeup application—day or night—with two-, five- and ten-minute routines; how to touch up your morning makeup for that big lunch or dinner date; how to enhance your best features and minimize others; how to organize the perfect makeup bag.

Hair care—A simple, basic routine for cleansing and conditioning all types of hair; proper use of hair care tools such as blow dryers and hot rollers; information on permanents, hair treatments, hair coloring, hair removal and wigs; how to find the perfect hairdresser.

Hormones—A frank and reassuring discussion on PMS and how to deal successfully with the effects of hormonal changes on your appearance and state of mind.

Plastic surgery—A straightforward look at the pros and cons of plastic surgery; how to choose the right doctor; how to determine when plastic surgery is right for you and when it is not; an informative explanation of the various types of plastic surgery available today.

Essential luxuries—The importance of personal pampering from fingernails to foot care, from exercise to sleep!

Victoria's message to women everywhere is:  "Be yourself—but be your best self."  For, as Victoria says, the totally beautiful woman makes a commitment to taking care of herself inside and out.  For a lifetime of beauty, The Beauty Principal is your guide to that fabulous feeling of looking great and knowing it!
