Natural Beauty Basics : Create Your Own Cosmetics and Body Care Products

Product Description

Taking care of yourself means making healthy choices. We are inundated with ads that tell us we cannot have naturally beautiful skin and hair without buying and using expensive brand name products. The fact is, we can attain a radiant, healthy appearance by making our own skin and hair care products out of all-natural ingredients.

Dorie Byers, a registered nurse, master gardener and herb enthusiast, describes the properties and characteristics of dozens of herbs, essential oils, and other natural ingredients, and provides a wealth of recipes for every skin type. These alternatives to commercial preparations will save you money and put you in control of the healthy ingredients you apply to your body.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad book for beginners, November 25, 2007
    This review is from: Natural Beauty Basics : Create Your Own Cosmetics and Body Care Products (Paperback)
    I like the explanations for different oils, additives etc and what type of skin is best for them. I also like that the book included cautions for different EO's (i.e. for pregnant women and sun exposure) as beginners would not know about needing to be careful of these things.

    One thing that I WAS NOT impressed with was that she has you buy an organic base for different things (soaps, shampoos, etc) and just add the EO's rather than tell you how to make it completely from scratch yourself.

    One word of caution - DO NOT USE THE SHAMPOO RECIPES for everyday use. The author is an RN and herbalist not a cosmetologist. She has you buy a baby shampoo for your base and just add the rest. I am a licensed cosmetologist and can tell you that baby shampoo is the worst shampoo you can use on your hair for everyday use.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Natural Beauty Cheap!, July 19, 2005
    This review is from: Natural Beauty Basics : Create Your Own Cosmetics and Body Care Products (Paperback)
    This book is great- I've tried a bunch of the recipes and they were actually pretty easy to make and worked well, unlike another book I have on making your own lotions and shampoos. I've tried the Lavender-Rosemary Deoderant and the Silky Smooth Liquid Soap that we use in our office. I've also recommend making these things with children- they make great presents. One of the unique things in this book is the Picnic Cleanser which works really well when travelling. The mouthwashes work great too!

    This book is great if you want to buy unscented soaps and add oils to scent them but no information on truly createing your own formulas.
