Journalist, Beauty Director at the Telegraph and now Author Sonia Haria, has published her first book, ‘South Asian Beauty’: The Ultimate Guide.
Uncovering the beauty of South Asia is a topic that Sonia Haria has been longing to write about for years. There are so many different cultures, religions, beliefs and ideologies that make up South Asia, not to mention differing beauty practices, ideals and ways of life for natives of the countries and their diaspora that define this region. Weaving together traditional and modern skincare, makeup and haircare advice, this ultimate guide is a joyous celebration of South Asian beauty.

In this, her debut book, Sonia speaks to some of the leading South Asian beauty experts in the industry. Included are personal stories from some of the most influential beauty voices from South Asia and the diaspora. Covering everything from a deep-dive into kohl and skin pigmentation to the relevance of Ayurveda, the mind-body connection and the influence of Bollywood; Sonia shares advice, knowledge and product recommendations, as well as skincare, haircare and makeup heroes that make it into her bathroom cabinet and cosmetics case.
‘I want this book to be a real celebration of the beautiful beauty culture that is so rich in South Asia – a beauty that deserves to be highlighted and celebrated’. “While there are so many wonderful beauty books out there, there are very few that address my experience as a British- Indian woman caught between two cultures.’
