Description
I looked at my reflection in a shop window and despaired. As an exhausted young mother, I felt ugly and saw that a new dress or face cream would never help. I was at risk of passing on a habit of feeling miserable about my looks to my baby girl—if nothing changed.
Soon afterward Phoebe Baker Hyde made a vow: to give up makeup, haircuts, new clothes, and jewelry for one year in hopes of revealing something she'd always paid lip service to but never quite believed in: inner beauty.
The Beauty Experiment chronicles Hyde’s quest for connection in nothing but her own skin. In thoughtful prose, she holds up a mirror to all women, showing how self-devotion can get in the way of confidence, serenity, and real joy.
