Review:

Are you keen to enhance the look of your skin and hair but unable to afford expensive, pre-packaged products? Do you want to avoid using make up and shampoos full of artificial additives? Would you like to experiment with natural ingredients but don't know how to go about it? Recipes For Natural Beauty contains more than 100 easy-to-follow recipes for home- made treatments using only fresh ingredients and natural preservatives. There are recipes and tips for every part of your body:hair, eyes, hands, feet, nails, as well as massage techniques and even ideas for creating your own fragrances.

The book starts with a helpful section on identifying your skin type and has simple charts to show you which ingredients to avoid and which ingredients to use for your specific skin type. It is totally comprehensive with chapters full of appealing recipes on everything from shampoos, soaps and sun protection to cellulite, visible veins and wrinkles. All the recipes are straightforward and use ingredients that are readily available. If you are fed up of overpriced, overpackaged beauty products and want to experiment with some delicious sounding and smelling natural ingredients this is a great book. All the recipes use environmentally friendly ingredients and are low cost-- ideal for those on tight budgets. --Meg Slyfield
