This book is far more than just a collection of recipes. It starts off by making a convincing argument against the use of any commercial product on your skin, either as a treatment or a cosmetic. The book cites many of the common ingredients of commercial preparations as not only NOT benefiting our skins' health and beauty, but being actively dangerous, not only to our skins' health, but also that of our entire bodies. Along with the recipes promised in the book's title, it also gives a lot of practical advice and tips on how to take care of our skin.Most of the recipes given in this book are made from common, easily obtained, natural ingredients, such as almonds, honey and olive oil. The directions for preparing the recipes are simple and easy too. Usually they don't amount to much more than, "Mix these ingredients together and apply them to your face.I was surprised by the sheer number of recipes. There are six recipes for facial masks, ten for exfoliant and acne treatment scrubs, nine toners, 14 moisturizing lotions, 10 eye lotions, and 10 massage oils.If you are interested in avoiding artificial chemicals that are absorbed by the skin they are applied to, and living a more natural lifestyle, I recommend you use the recipes and advice in "Skin Care Recipes".
