How to Make Your Own Herbal Cosmetics : The Natural Way to Beauty

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!
