Product Description
Radiantly healthy skin, hair, feet, hands, eyes, and nails. Commercial beauty products make this promise every day and live up to it with varying degrees of success. Stephanie Tourles offers a better solution to everyone frustrated with the endless cycle of expensive, synthetic, famous-name cosmetics that often fall short of expectations. Take control of beauty treatments with homemade products that use safe, nourishing ingredients to pamper the body and soothe the senses. Tourles, a licensed esthetician, herbalist, and aromatherapist, has developed 175 recipes that are fun, simple, and immensely satisfying to make in home kitchens. Her natural beauty treatments deliver the results promised by department store brands skin, hair, and nails that glow with vitality and inner wellness. Lotions, scrubs, toners, balms, and masks polish and balance the skin, soothe current problems, and prevent future ones. Shampoos, rinses, and conditioners tone the scalp, boost highlights, and leave hair soft and shiny. The book's whole-body coverage also includes recipes for hand and footcare, nail treatments, shaving cream, and even popular spa treatments such as microdermabrasion exfoliants, detox and cellulite soaks, ayurvedic oils, and herbal cold salves. Most important, there is never any doubt about the purity of these ingredients! Each formula is clearly presented in recipe style, with notes on prep time, storage, and uses. Many products can be customized according to personal needs, whim, or mood, and they all use readily available, natural ingredients. Organic Body Care Recipes is a natural treasure for every body.

Wonderful,
By Mtl152 (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organic Body Care Recipes: 150 Homemade Herbal Formulas for Vibrant Skin, Hair & Nails (Paperback)
This is a very good book for beginers. Lots of super easy recipes to make at home. For many of the recipes in the book you simply have to melt butters with base oils, add EO if you choose and cap! Good layout which makes it easy to follow with different chapters for face care and body care, etc.. The ingredients are not difficult to find or expensive either. Also, the author give may alternatives if you dont have many ingredients to choose from. A must have for anyone interested in creating organic recipes at home and a very good book to start with if your new to this craft.

I Thoroughly Enjoyed This Book and Will for Years to Come,
By Leslie (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organic Body Care Recipes: 150 Homemade Herbal Formulas for Vibrant Skin, Hair & Nails (Paperback)
My husband gave me this book, along with two others, as a Valentine's Day gift. I've just started learning about (and loving!) essential oils and wanted to take my keen interest further into making my own lotions, creams, toners, hair care products, colognes, etc. This book has been so much fun to explore and has taught me a lot. It's easy to navigate through -- very well organized -- and makes it fun to dive right in and try the recipes that appeal to you.I don't think I'll ever go back to using anything laden with chemicals and questionable things like parabens....why should any of us when it's this easy to do better? I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend this book. I've read it cover to cover and am anxious to find others like it so I can expand my recipe collection.

This review is from: Organic Body Care Recipes: 150 Homemade Herbal Formulas for Vibrant Skin, Hair & Nails (Paperback)
I'm very allergic to some preservatives, the most commonly used ones, of course, and perfumes. I can buy some creams, lotions and potions, but it's always and adventure as companies reformulate their products, sometimes making a lotion which was wonderful last batch seem like a blend which includes fire ants in the new 'improved' version. Labels aren't always clear given the number of abbreviations and names under which preservatives are listed.This book gives me options. I can make what I cannot buy, even if I have to mail order some of the ingredients. No more walking down the drug store aisle, magnifying glass and list of preservative names in hand, looking for something unscented that doesn't include things that make my skin burn, itch and swell up.
