Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair: Natural and Healthy Personal Care for Every Body: Natural and Healthy Bodycare for Every Body

I like to make my own body, hair and face products, this book has a lot of good recipes in it.

love it.

I bought this book based on its many positive reviews - so it's only fair that I now report on it. I like the book very much and recommend it. Because I'm an aesthetician I have lots of books on skin care, making body products, etc., and this one has a lot of appeal because it jumps right into the recipes without a lot of other information to take up space. There are 14 sections, such as Facial Care, Lip, Mouth & Tooth Care, Hair & Scalp, Body Treatments, etc., etc. There's even a section Especially for Men. After just a couple introductory pages and some info on skin types we jump right into our first recipe Basic Cleansing Oil with Essential Oils and off we go.... The recipes are laid out clearly with the list of ingrediants and directions.What I appreciate the most are the recipes for natural deodarants. I've made the Witch Hazel and Essential Oil deodarant using Rosemary & Peppermint and I absolutely LOVE IT - so fresh and natural. I've been wanting to get away from those chemical clog poring deodarants. I'm glad I purchased this book and I recommend it highly. I can't wait to make some hand creams and lip balms as well.Out of all the skin and body care books I own, I would say that if you can only get one book - get this one.

What lovely recipes. I want to try them all. The book is dividied into chapters such as for women, babies, the elderly, and special areas such as hair, skin, feet and hands, etc. The recipes use natural ingredients and suggest the best options for a good quality product. Some of the ingredients are a little harder to obtain, but the book includes a section on resources and where to find them. Proper techniques and preparation methods are also discussed. Probably the most useful book on healthy personal care formulations I have read to date.
