35 step-by-step projects for homemade beauty
In A Green Guide to Natural Beauty, Karen Gilbert shows you the easy way to make your own lotions and potions, using easy-to-obtain ingredients and easy-to-follow methods. For the face, there are moisturisers, 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 bar, bath oils, and eye gels. As Karen says: "making your own beauty products is so simple once you know how - it really is no different to cooking. In most cases it's actually easier - if you can make a sauce, you can make a lotion"
So why not try your hand at making a neroli hydrating spritz or an apricot face scrub, 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.
A Green Guide to Natural Beauty Recipes is illustrated throughout with step-by-step instruction and photography. Many of the 35 recipes include variations to try at home - making them the perfect beauty gifts for friends and for trying out at pamper parties!
