"It's tricky to satisfy readers' craving for beauty advice without appearing to endorse a particular standard of beauty or placing undue emphasis on appearance. These books incorporate a little science and a lot of good sense along with beauty tips and craft ideas. Skin emphasizes nutrition, sleep, and sunscreen while explaining what vitamin A does for skin and how ultraviolet rays harm it. Nail Care advises readers to be careful around acetone. Some of the tips in Hair Care will work for unstraightened African American hair, but all the illustrations are of straight or long, curly hair. Nevertheless, this set is a good update to Smart Apple's 'Girl Talk' series (2013). VERDICT: These offerings promote a healthy glow."—School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
