 Average book on skincare. March 8, 2007

I think this book has some very nice recipes in it although there are not as many as i would have liked. Some of the recipes are more complicated than in other books i have on natural beauty recipes so i would not say this was a book for beginners. It is definately not a comprehensive guide and for me personally i would have liked more information on how to make the various tinctures,infusions etc. Having said that, it is a nice book to have as part of your collection.

This is a revised and updated edition of a classic Neals yard publication. Using this book I have learned to make creams, lotions and skincare potions from all natural products. My friends are queueing up to see what I will make next and if they can try it. The beauty of this book is it gives you the basic info and recipes but within no time at all you can be customising and creating your own skincare regime and saving yourself a fortune into the bargain. Really what more can a girl ask?

More health care than recipes August 1, 2004

I bought this book hoping to find a good selection of recipes for natural toiletries, although there are many recipes in here for various parts of the body there aren't enough within each particular section to be able to find something that suits your needs. Recipes for natural beauty discusses some of the methods used in making natural beauty products, particularly how to use essential oils and herbs, however the book it's is more of a guide on beauty discussing why our skin may become damaged and what you can do to improve skin using natural remedies.
The book is very heavy on the use of essential oils, which are used in most of the recpes that means many of these recipes you could conjure up yourself quite easily without having to buy a book to assist you. The most noticeable feature of the recipies in this book are that they are heavy on use of essential oils that could prove pricey, more so as the book doesn't really discuss the harmful effects of these oils, simply mentioned them in the glossary near the end of the book.
I think this book is less of a guide to making your own beauty products and more a guide on the uses of essential oils on the body, as such it should be marketed as a book on essential oils rather than on making cosmetics, it did not really aid me in making my own toiletries although it does serve as a relatively basic guide on use of essential oils in toiletries.
An excellent resource February 10, 2004

This book is a little gem, for both beginners and experienced home beauty-crafters alike. Out of all the herbals and natural beauty books that I own (and I have a truckload) I find myself referring most to this one and "Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal". Recipes are simple, and are explained clearly, with many photographs. One thing I particularly like is that there are recipes for products to be used immediately, like an avocado face mask, or things that will keep for up to six months, like the mandarin lip balm. The ingredients are not esoteric (unlike those called for in some books) and the recipes themselves are clearly categorized and easily accessible. All in all, a worthy purchase if you want to create some of your own scrumptious beauty treats.
