Product Description
Product Description
Packed with pampering recipes to create your own beauty essentials for face, body and hair. Most of us use a huge variety of beauty products on our skin and hair every day - from shower gel and shampoo to moisturiser and hand cream - but the majority of these products contain a variety of chemicals. In A Green Guide to Natural Beauty, natural skincare and fragrance expert Karen Gilbert shows you how to make your own lotions and potions at home, using easy-to-obtain, natural ingredients and easy-to-follow methods. For the face, there are moisturizers, face masks and cleansers; for the body choose from scrubs and shower gels, soaps and body lotions. And when you need some extra-special pampering, try the recipes for lip balms, massage bars, bath oils and eye gels. So try your hand at making a neroli hydrating spritz or a jojoba and aloe vera moisturizer, a mango and lime body butter or lemon and tea tree foot balm, bergamot and grapefruit wake-up wash or cocoa butter lip balm - the hardest part is choosing which of the pampering projects to try first! Each recipe has clear step-by-step photographs to guide you, and there are numerous variations to try.

I'm so glad I bought this book! I'm not a complete beginner when it comes to making my own cosmetic products, so I was concerned that there wouldn't be enough new and challenging projects in here. I needn't have worried though - there's so many lovely looking recipes I want to try, I can't decide where to start!
This book goes beyond the basics, although there's still plenty for beginners. I'm particularly looking forward to trying out my own handwash and shower gels, as well as some of the lovely looking lotions and moisturisers.
The instructions are clear, the photography and presentation is beautiful and there's tons of useful information & resources you won't find in similar books in this genre. I'm crossing my fingers that Karen is working on a book on perfumery - I'd love to see more of her work.
