 Nature's
Beauty Kit : Cosmetic Recipes You Can Make at Home
by Deb Carpenter (Editor)
This little 129 page book is small enough to tuck away in your
briefcase. That is exactly what I did so that I could sneak little reads during waits in
line and traffic. I would not advise reading this in traffic though since it is too
informative to easily put down.
Deb's book has 25 pages of hair recipes. I always turn to the hair
section first since that is my primary interest to review for this site.
I was not disappointed by Deb's hair care section. She provides several
recipes for all natural shampoos that you can make at home. They are not all that
complicated and I was able to easily make the quick herbal shampoo for light hair. The
recipe calls for adding dried chamomile flowers and dried mullein flowers to Deb's basic
shampoo recipe. It was an interesting and refreshing blend. It is interesting that Deb's
finals rinse with mint and rosemary reminds me of the Rosemary/Mint product that Aveda
sells. Deb's recipe allows you to make it at home.
Deb also gives you recipes for hair conditioners as well as for damaged
hair. She has a hair loss recipe along with a split end recipe. Personally I recommend
just getting your hair trimmed religiously to avoid the splits...however if you want a
different approach Deb has it.
I liked this book. A lot of the recipes were easy to assemble and
required very little time to make. Since I am a no fuss, instant gratification
personality, this was a big plus for me.
I think you will enjoy this book. Besides hair care Deb offers tips on
skin care, legs and feet, hands and nails, baths, lotions, soaps, scrubs and scents. She
also provides recipes for potpourri and details about oils, herbs and the sources for
purchasing supplies for her recipes.
Happy reading.
