 |  Sooner or later every girl
reaches an age where she
starts asking questions about her skin, her hair and her looks. |  | When my daughter Molly started asking me about everything from moisturisers to mascara and whether she should shave her legs, it wasn’t too hard to give her answers. My job is writing about beauty and health, and over the years, I have worked out what works best.
One question led to another: how to
deal with spots, how to blow-dry hair,
how to choose the right things to eat...
When we put them all together, this
book began to emerge. | | Be Beautiful is about getting to grips with the basics of
skincare and discovering the fun of make-up.
It’s also about learning to do all this in a way that isn’t going to cost the earth – and that’s not too grown-up.
As Molly puts it, ‘If you look good, you feel
good. And isn’t that what we all want?’ Alice Hart-Davis, award-winning beauty journalist | Alice Hart-Davis and Molly Hindhaugh are both available for interview.
Or, if you’d like, they could give you their top tips on skincare, tackling spots, and 10 new things to try with eyeliner.
Alternatively, they could review a spa or new make-up range for you, or just elaborate on the pleasures and pitfalls of trying to write a book and co-ordinate photoshoots with your nearest and dearest.
