Product Description
Book Description
Totally natural, chemical-free beauty for healthy, vital skin
Product Description
Expensive modern skin treatments and cosmetics are accompanied by slick marketing campaigns that equate them with glamour, happiness and heath. But how healthy are they? What do they contain and what are they really doing to your skin? Your skin rapidly absorbs chemicals and passes them into your bloodstream, so why would you put anything on your skin that you wouldn't be prepared to eat?
Feeding Your Skin is full of easy and delicious recipes you can make from everyday ingredients, for cleansers, toners, moisturisers, exfoliants, masks, lip balms, nail treatments, shampoos, sunscreens and even deodorants. In fact, everything you need to keep your face and body beautiful and healthy.

Format:Paperback
I purchased this book only a week ago and already I have made some lip balms and shaving oil (for my husband). Its a fantastic book, extremely easy to follow. The items you need to purchase for most of the recipes may appear expensive initially but because you are only using small quantities at a time still make it cost effective. Highly recommended, I love it!

Carla Oates is an inspiration, I picked up this book with no experience of handmaking natural skincare and its delighted me, within weeks i'd found a Neals Yard Remedies store near me (in Leamington Spa) and ordered a few inexpensive basics froman internet site (that she recommends in her book) to begin my new hobby.
I have taken this hobby now to Duke of Edinburgh level, passing off Carla Oates as my "Tutor".
It is easy to follow and understand even to real beginners as i say.
Ive had it for a good year now and still find it no trouble atall whipping up a bayleaf toner for the next 2 weeks. I'm making emulsion moisturizers for all my friends and shes truely got me believing that the commercial world of chemicals is evil.
If this review does not inspire you to get the book, then the youthful cover and cute size will and you'll be making natural products in no time.

I've had this book for a couple of years now and cannot praise it highly enough. Because of the array of recipes in here, I no longer buy nappy balms, shaving lotion for my husband, cleansers or hair masks - I make them myself! I haven't yet tried making the facial moisturisers but that is next on my list. So far I have made;
Cleansing balm
Cleansing milk
Hair mask
Balm (nappy balm)
Bath oil (infused with vanilla & cinnamon)
Body cream
Shaving lotion
It is incredibly therapeutic making your own skin care, knowing exactly what's gone into in and seeing the finished product. This has also been a valuable resource in making products to give as gifts. This book has paid for itself several times over, I love it!
