The Art of Simplicity - Dominique Loreau

Recycling is a non-issue.  If we didn't consume so much indiscriminately, there would be no need to recycle - Dominique Loreau

Thanks to her, I discovered what a natural product is and the minimalism!

Dominique Loreau is a French essayist who has lived in Japan since the 1970s.
In her book "The Art of Simplicity", she is teaching us how to live more with less.  To be in tune with one's times without being won over by consumer society!

"Skin doesn't need soap, lotion, or cream to be clean and soft.  It needs to be cleansed and nourished.  Ditch the chemicals, the lotions, the complications.  Free yourself from the traps of the beauty industry.  Skin, just like the digestive system, absorbs what it's given and puts it into the bloodstream.  Some cosmetic products poison and pollute our bodies."

"The One Oil
Find a single, excellent oil that you will use for your face, hair, body, and nails."
