Sounds ridiculous, right? I mean, what does salad have to do with your skin?As it turns out, everything.If you're a skeptic like I was, well, this book will quickly clear that up for you. It's brimming with recipes for skin care and maintenance that involve ingredients straight from your kitchen. They make sense, because what did people through history use before the advent of modern chemical treatments? Food, of course! Food on the inside, food on the outside.Whether it's a juice recipe or the explanation for why one should avoid petroleum products, this book will teach you more than you ever knew you didn't know about home-based natural skincare. It even involves a section on mechanical exfoliants!The only thing I would change is the lack of definition for types of oatmeal in the recipes. Does this mean groat? Quick cooking? But that's really not a big deal, not with the wealth of general info here. For example, did you know the difference between so-called unheated and unfiltered honey? Neither did I, but now I do!So if you were thinking about taking your skin's health in your own hands, give this book a shot. I think you'll find it deliciously good!
