Review: Good book for Natural beauty solutions

Michele Moreau makes a compelling argument for giving up our beauty regime, and going natural.  This is a very eye-opening book and does cause you to question some of your beauty decisions.  She is concise and informative.The font (for some strange reason) is TINY. It was hard to read and you had to have a lot of light, but do-able.  Most of Michele's "recipes" include very common ingredients, and there were typically only 2-4 ingredients in any recipe.I did wonder at some of her claims so I did a quick (and by no means conclusive) search.  Her claims included the use of infant foreskin, roadkill, and an disgusting photo of a placenta - as of course- that is also an ingredient used in beauty products.  I didn't find anything to contradict the ingredients as she had identified them, however most of them had articles about why they were stable and OK for use.  However, I know that the internet is full of a great many untruths, so just seeing that does not convince me that these ingredients are OK.My last question about this book is most of the recipes need to be mixed up in the kitchen.  Yes I want to be healthy and beautious, but I barely have time to scrape my hair back and wash my face before running out the door.  There is NO WAY I could run to the kitchen and whip up face wash, body wash and shampoo and conditioner.  I'm not if you could double the batch and just make it once a week, or if you need to assemble everything everyday.In conclusion, I think being able to whip up my own concoctions in my kitchen would be fun, and is definitely something I'm willing to try.  However, I don't know that I can maintain that on a daily basis, and despite her compelling arguments, I'm not giving up make-up - though I may look for some less polluted brands now that I know what to look for.Good book if you are looking for natural remedies!
