From the Author
Natural body care products, in contrast to commercial ones, are based on the philosophy of working in partnership with nature to support and nurture the body throughout its life cycle. The idea is to start with simple, pure ingredients that are as close to their natural state as possible. These are then combined according to their specific actions into formulas that enable the body to gently soothe, nourish and heal itself.
Your face, perhaps more than any other part of your body, serves as an outer expression of your inner state of being. Read the first page

A HEAVENLY Book,
By "jennycrestedbutte" (Crested Butte) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair: Natural and Healthy Bodycare for Every Body (Paperback)
This book is AWESOME! It is one of the better books I've read on the subject of natural skin/hair/body care with homemade products. It's very informative,very well organized according to sections (Face Care, Body Care, Mouth Care, Hair Care, Healing Salves and Balms)with special attention given to men, women and different life stages. It's very thorogh. Dina Falconi provides countless recipes for creams, oils, balms and lotions as well as what those products can do for you and for whom they're most useful (i.e. mature/dry skin etc.) Not only are recipes provided, but basic recipes for salves and creams are also provided so you can incorporate oils, butters and waxes that you particularly like. Say you don't want to make a beeswax and canola oil based lip balm (which is one of the recipes) you can flip to the back of the book and learn the proper oil/wax proportions for balms and you can try something else instead. Falconi also explains the benefits of certain essential oils, herbs, butters and oils which is also very beneficial to those just beginning to make personal care products. A great book!

Fabulous Five Star Content, 1 Star Layout,
By A Customer
This review is from: Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair: Natural and Healthy Bodycare for Every Body (Paperback)
Ms. Falconi's indepth knowledge of theraputic herbs, essntial oils and carrier oils assures me that any or all of the recipes are effective as stated. I've had excellent results. The number recipes given for the body is a good guarantee that more than one recipe will suit the need and the budget. I am grateful for her knowledge.The book is hard to read with narrow margins and little "white-space" relief. Two indexes are confusing, techniques are at the end, not enough page number references, chapters for babies, men yet most of the products apply to anyone. When this book has a second publication, I hope the editors will expand the layout and clarify the organization.

Loving this Book!!!,

This review is from: Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair: Natural and Healthy Bodycare for Every Body (Paperback)
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.
