I love it!,

This review is from: Return to Beauty: Old-World Recipes for Great Radiant Skin (Hardcover)
This book is fantastic. I am allergic to so many things, the big one is coconut, which is found in everything. Every lotion and shampoo out there. I am sure you can hear my frustration which is why I was so grateful to come across this book. It has very very basic ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry. I have spent countless dollars on product that I have either had to throw away or give away. This was the best $32 that I have spent in many a year. I have just got the book, and haven't spent much time with each recipe. But, you would think, egg yokes, flour and baking soda wouldn't clean your hair - but its awesome! No grimey after feel in your hair and it comes out great. Same with the honey, olive oil and yogurt conditioner. The recipe will last me a week! It probably cost me pennies to make. I can't tell you how nice the book is, with its organization and pictures and really easy combinations. It is specific to skin types and to your sign - which is very interesting. It was the description for the virgo which made me walk right to the cash register. Its too bad you can't view inside the book or at least see the inside so I'll give you some categories. Season (winter, spring, summer and fall) for dry to oily skin. Sun signs (quick fixes) Part III. Simple solutions. Breakouts, pimples and acne, fine lines and wrinkes, hair care solutions, hand care, nail care, lip care, feet, neck,. Pregnancy, and No frills for men.Seriously don't hesitate to buy this book. It you are interested in pure ingredients and so simple to use with effective results, click "add to shopping cart". You won't regret it.

I love this book,
This review is from: Return to Beauty: Old-World Recipes for Great Radiant Skin (Hardcover)
This book is great in every way........you save money on expensive and harmful cosmetics and you use up what you already have readily available in your kitchen. It is easy to read and it has recipies for all skin types and for all four seasons of the year. You need to have some patience because you need to take time to adjust to making your own creams and taking the time to see the change you are looking for in your skin. The only problem is that even though it offers acne homemade solutions, it really does not apply in my case, so please do not expect it to work like harsh cosmetic counter products. My skin is acne prone and the acne I have is caused by hormonal disbalance, so please do not expect much in that area if you have the same problem I have. Other than that, it is a great book.....finally a great choice for us skin care yunkies who want to go green and have had enough of false promises by the cosmetic industry.

Doesn't give everything away but does give a lot,
By jumpy1 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Return to Beauty: Old-World Recipes for Great Radiant Skin (Hardcover)
Finally, a skin care book that gives some real spa recipes for toners, cleansers and masks. I'm not saying she gives away the store by any means, but there are a lot of basic recipes in here that if you read through the whole book you'll see a pattern that will help you make up your own, based on your particular skin issues. I've been reading reviews of other skin care books that have a problem with non-vegan recipes and there are plenty of vegan recipes here. (though there are a lot with dairy, eggs and honey - you can always use almond milk instead of milk though) I like to make up my own products and whenever I buy products I try to approximate them myself at home (to avoid the additives even the good ones use, like spermaceti) and the information in this book really rounded out some of my questions. She starts with basic recipes for things by season (for the way each season affects your skin) and then by sun sign with some good ideas for the various personalities, like how to unwind and pamper yourself and body care recipes for the typical issues for each. Then she has general recipes for breakouts, hair care, hands and feet, really good toners and lotions for pregnancy (e.g., stretchmarks), and finally, how to give yourself a real facial, step by step. I thought the ones for men, even though there were only a few, were particularly interesting. I have a couple of Janice Cox's books, and Pratima Raichur's book and I think if you have just this and Pratima Raichur's Absolute Beauty, you have quite an arsenal of info on natural body care.

Inner Radiance, Outer Beauty,

This review is from: Return to Beauty: Old-World Recipes for Great Radiant Skin (Hardcover)
I once read that you should never put anything on your skin that you wouldn't also put into your mouth. Well, this book is nothing but mouth-watering skin care recipes that are quick and easy (often only two or three ingredients), and many of the ingredients are already in your kitchen. They require a little more effort than store-bought beauty products, however, since they have to be kept refrigerated and made frequently. Personally, I find this a small price to pay for the benefit of natural skin care--chemical-free and nutrient-rich.And, although I can't state with scientific certainty that the recipes actually reduce lines or make my skin healthier, I can say that I feel so much better making and using my own beauty potions that my inner radiance comes through and this is what people notice. Yes, I understand that beauty is more than skin deep, but we women know that if we feel good, we look good. Return to Beauty is nicely presented and easy to use. It includes step-by-step directions for giving yourself a facial, as well as recipes specific to the seasons, skin types, and sun signs; simple solutions for skin, hair, and nail care; pregnancy skin care--there is even a short section on skin care for men. If you're ready to invest a few extra minutes of your time and energy into feeling and looking good, try some of the recipes and see the results for yourself. You're worth it. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful

Excellent book!,
By Tasha Cole - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Return To Beauty is a excellent book to create your own beauty recipes! The book is divided up into 6 parts.Part 1) Seasons Part 2) Sun Signs Part 3) Simple Solutions Part 4) Pregnancy Part 5) How To Give Yourself A Facial Part 6) No Frills For Men Narine Nikogosian starts her book out with a wonderful although quick introduction, allowing the readers a peek into her philosophy about natural skin care. The photos in the book are just lovely! I have two other beauty recipe books (see bottom of review) and neither of those books have a single photo! The beautiful photographs are definetly a bonus treat, as well as the way the recipes are displayed, using larger print than the other two books that I own (and love). The most important aspect that makes Return To Beauty a excellent book has to be how EASY the recipes are! I have had to buy sticky notes to add to so many of the recipes so I can find them again quickly. The recipes use everyday items you probably already have in your kitchen. Mayonnaise Lemons Yougurt Cottage cheese Honey Butter Milk Salt Tea bags Olive oil Eggs Flour Vinegar Juices To just name a few...and some of the ingredients I didn't have and had to purchase are: Vodka Cognac Almond oil Shredded coconut Sparkling mineral water Rose oil Cornstarch Cherries Heavy cream Figs There are so many recipes that just use two or three simple ingredients and not one of the recipes requires very much effort at all! The alcohol recipes center on facial toners and masks and require very little alcohol so I just bought the tiny travel bottles and they last a long time. It's a wonderful book that I have loved using and I highly recommend it to others of all ages!! The other two books that I own and love are: The Beauty Cookbook: 200 Recipes to Make Your Kitchen Your Spa -- for Your Face, Your Body and Your Hair And Babushka's Beauty Secrets |
