slogan
Si tratta dello slogan sulla prima pagina di un breve leaflet su un trattamento intensivo antirughe. Il leaflet è in italiano, ma il cliente vuole lo slogan in inglese. Io, da italiana non esperta del settore pubblicitario, metterei: SMALL GESTURES THAT CREATE BEAUTY oppure
SMALL GESTURES CREATE BEAUTY.

: I am not a marketing type and am no good at creating these sorts of slogans, but this feels like something I would expect to find in an advertisement. // After reflection, I wonder about an alliterative translation of "Simple steps to smooth skin".

: Best so far; I'm always uncomfortable about Beauty as an unqualified abstract in English. I was trying to think of something with Steps too.

Beauty is all about those little sweet nothings
Another suggestion.... although has very little to with cosmetics but sounds good... :)

manducci
: 'sweet nothings' has an entirely different meaning and doesn't work here.

Beauty is Easy With Little Effort
Salve a tutti! What a fun translation! This is my 'two cents'...
I am trying to put English words together that Italians will recognize.
-Small Things to Make You Beautiful
-Be Beautiful with Small Motions (la macchinetta fa mozioni)

When it comes to beauty it's the little touches that count
A bit of a mouthful, I know.

Now that there is more context, Fiona's is by far the best answer.

Discussion
essendo un testo pubblicitario, temo che qui ci vuole un a traduzione più libera. A che cosa fa riferimento questi "piccoli gesti"? L'atto di mettersi la crema?
