Making your own beauty products is a lot easier than most people think, especially if you have a thorough book like this one to guide you through what the various ingredients are, where to find them, and how to use them in everything from nail treatments to moisturizers and masks. The 175 recipes are helpfully sorted into six main categories: face products, hair products, body products, bath products, scents & sun-care products, and eye, mouth, hand & nail products. Most recipes are accompanied by a photo–I love the bright color scheme of this book! I also appreciated the expanded tips the author has included in each section, such as explaining how tooth decay occurs within the eye, mouth, hand & nail section and her discussion of healthy hair (especially the part about staving off gray hair!) within the hair products chapter.My only quibble with the book–and why I didn’t give it five stars–is that the nutritional advice about sharply reining back on animal products and saturated fats seems outdated given the current studies being done that demonstrate that saturated fat does NOT contribute to heart disease. (Original studies lumped trans fats with saturated fats and led to decades of inaccurate research.) Other than that, I applaud the author’s emphasis on fresh foods, unprocessed oils, and kicking sugar to the curb. This is a very well-presented book, with tons of helpful tips and more recipes than I’ve ever seen in one place. Whether you’ve never made DIY beauty products before or you’ve been making them for years, you’ll enjoy browsing through this impressive compendium! Added bonus: many of the ingredients are also edible, so if you buy an ingredient like unrefined almond oil at the grocery store for your beauty recipes, you can enjoy it at dinnertime, too.
