[Commlist] New book: Discourses of Perfection: Representing Cosmetic Procedures and Beauty Products in UK Lifestyle Magazines

New book

Hermans, Anne-Mette (2021). Discourses of Perfection: Representing 
Cosmetic Procedures and Beauty Products in UK Lifestyle Magazines. 
Routledge.190 pp.

This book explores editorial and advertising discourses related 
to cosmetic procedures and beauty products and services in UK lifestyle 
magazines, offering a holistic perspective on the normalisation of 
cosmetic procedures and the societal context in which particular 
perceptions have flourished. I particularly focus on the continuum view 
of beauty products and cosmetic procedures, and examine the implications 
of a blurred boundary for the regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry.
