Make Your Own Organic Scrubs and Masks: An Everyday Guide to Simple Homemade Beauty Products

I loved this book. The idea of using common ingredients to enhance my skin is fun and exciting. It's true that manufacturers want us to think that what they produce is mysterious and expensive. It's great to see that simple, healthy products do the same or better and I can make them in my own home! The recipes are well organized for each of the skin types and also include how long to leave them on, how to remove them and how to adapt the recipe for existing skin problems. Great information and ideas.

Then this book will be helpful. I've tried some food versions of skin care before, and there are a few in this book that I will likely try.Even with the high price of fruits and veggies, these concoctions should save money over commercial products. However, the shorter lifespans of these homemade products must be taken into consideration. And some of the ingredients are not exactly sitting around in my pantry, so that expense must also be factored in. But these recipes are definitely a more healthy alternative to commercial products.

This book is full of easy recipes using everyday ingredients - how much more accessible can skin care get? I know that personally I worry about using chemicals and harsh products on my skin, so I'm always on the lookout for natural solutions which I can make at home. This book really delivers and - best of all - the ingredients are cheap!I have oily skin, so I loved the banana, strawberry and honey nourishing scrub - it's good enough to eat!

This book has a lot of useful information for those of you who know that putting "bad chemicals" on your skin is not healthy, and so much more economical to make your own at home. I made 10 Christmas Baskets, for gifts and made some of these scrubs and masks to include. I tweaked it some. Highly recommend.

If your into DYI projects, or just love being an artisan and making your own homemade goods - this book is for you! The author share some really simple and fun scrub recipe ideas to try out. These would be perfect for your own or even as a gift to your loved ones. Great book!

I liked the fact that it's provides a good amount of information for each ingredient and why we use it. I gave this book to my wife and she couldn't stop reading it. If you're serious about making organic skin care products, I highly recommend this book.

Prepare to be pretty with these inexpensive household items that will leave you glowing the quick, easy, cheap and non-toxic way. Why spend so much money on harsh creams, lotions and ointments when the natural way will leave you younger, healthier and with more money in your wallet?

Always looking for new recipes and natural health and beauty products, and this is another good one for my library

Cheaper than a commercially made exfoliating scrub or face mask, this recipe book enables you to make delicious products using ingredients you more than likely already or should in all honesty have at home.As your skin drinks whatever you put on it up to the point I can taste peanut oil when I apply it to my throat, I only use organic ingredients I wouldn't mind eating or at least tasting on my lips.At the risk of sounding really pompous this book should really just be the start to a healthier understanding of skincare that is kinder to the planet and yourself. Especially if you're trying for a baby/pregnant.One that I have tried that isn't in here is a few drops of lemon juice mixed 1:1 with peanut/ground nut oil. This is a good natural treatment for acne or just an alternative skin peel to salicylic acid and the like.

I love this book, the message of self-care and natural beauty sits nicely in my heart. I especially appreciate the author taking the time to explain the nutritional value and benefits of various fruits and veg on your skin/health and the variety of home-made treatments for different skin types. Lots of practical tips and suggestions to make your skin glow from the inside out. A very-good feel-good book. Thank you

A variety of scrubs of all skins types using natural fruits and vegetables. The beauty of this book is ones skin type can change over time so this book will always come in handy for the changing skin type.

Easy to read and follow recipes. Great information. The ingredients are all easy to find and are often things that are in the house anyway. Very pleased with this purchase.

Excellent!
