Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 646.7 EAN: 9780873419543 ISBN: 0873419545 Label: Krause Publications Manufacturer: Krause Publications Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 112 Publication Date: February 01, 2001 Publisher: Krause Publications Studio: Krause Publications Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: You don't have to spend a fortune at upscale toiletries shops to amass a wonderful collection of soul-satisfying beauty products. Beauty consultant Casey Kellar has filled The Good Earth: Bath, Beauty, & Health Book with simple formulas for cleansers, masks, perfumes, lotions, toners, hair care materials, bath items, herbal remedies, eye balms, hand and foot treatments, soaps, and even mouthwash. Tempting recipes and lovely photos help you transform your home into a mini-spa using common household goods like baking soda, vanilla, and spices, and some readily available specialty articles like essential oils, glycerin, and beeswax (which are available at pharmacies and health food stores). Most products have a shelf life of at least a few months, so you can concoct lots of potions at once and then enjoy them for some time to come, and you'll know exactly what you're pampering yourself with, since everything's all natural. If you can bear to part with any of these goodies, you can also assemble one of the suggested gift packages for a friend. --Amy Handy Product Description: In this practical guide to beauty and well-being, readers will learn how to make Mother Nature their Fairy Godmother!

Rating: - Scent Sensitivity and the Beauty Products JunkieFor me, it was love at first glimpse. I grabbed this book and raced to the nearest checkout lane. I couldn't wait to get home and read it from cover to cover. I am a self-proclaimed "beauty Products Junkie" and addict. There are worse things to be addicted to. My one problem is that I have fairly sensitive skin and am sensitive to overpowering scents. I also get migraines on a regular basis. There's nothing worse for a migraineur and cosmetic-junkie than to get home with ...

The one thing that puzzles me, is where on Earth are busy, working people going to find the time to not only go out and purchase some of these little basic ingredients, but find the time to mix up the wonderful little potions and lotions?
