 How to Make Your Own Herbal Cosmetics : The Natural Way to Beauty
by Liz Anderson, Helen Howard (Illustrator), Liz Sanderson
I was very excited when I saw that Ms. Sanderson's original 1977 book
had been reprinted. I have been a fan of How To Make Your Own Herbal Cosmetics for years.
This little book (100 pages) is jammed full of very cool ideas on hair care & beauty.
Chapter 21 has interesting tips on how to improve the condition of your hair, while
Chapter 20 has great information on natural hair colourants. I love her tips on using
mullein for blondes and tea for brunettes.
Okay...I will admit that some of the recipes may be a tad messy, but for
the most part I found them easy to concoct and use.
Liz also has a great section with all the herbs listed and a description
of what they do. Also...I love her Chapter 25 on Slimming tricks. The Slimming Bath feels
great. I am not sure how much I have slimmed...but my skin always looks and feels better.
The Weight-Reducing Tea recipe actually tastes good for a Dandelion based tea.
Of course I have to recommend this book since I have been referring to
it since 1977 when it first came out. I guarantee you will find at least one unusual
recipe for hair or beauty care that you have never heard of before.
Happy herb gathering!
