Mabel Roark is `a gift, craft and cooking enthusiast that calls Singapore home'. The author has written many very useful and homespun books - Herbs That Heal, Bread Made Easy, Anti-Aging Foods, Declutter Extreme, Homemade Healthy Dog Food Recipes, Grow Your Own Container Veggies, Healthy Packed Lunch for You Kids, and Sinfully Delicious Desserts - and now addresses natural remedies or preventatives of youthful looking skin.The author jumps right into the book without a need for introduction (you know why you're here!) with recipes for Home Made Face and Body Masks (Pumpkin Facial Mask, Banana Honey Facial Mask, Oatmeal Yogurt Facial Mask, etc), recipes for Facial Scrubs (Apricot and Papaya Face Scrub, Oatmeal and Chamomile scrub, Honey Lip Scrub, etc), Hair Masks (Coconut Oil Hair Mask), Homemade Natural Facial Cleanser (Lemon Cleanser, Chamomile Facial Cleanser), Homemade Facial Toner (Green Tea, Chamomile), and Homemade Bath (Chocolate Bath,  Sat Soak Bath, Jelly Bath, Lavender Bath), Homemade Moisturizers (Honey, Lemon Juice and Coconut Oil Moisturizer, Grapeseed, Whole Milk and Egg Yolk Moisturizer, All Purpose Olive Oil Moisturizer). Each `recipe' is treated completely with ingredient preparation, how to mix the ingredients, how and for how long to apply the product - every detail that is usually missing form other books. At book's end we are given tips on preparation, cautions, where to find the various components, and a lot of advice on general healthy eating and exercising.For those who have tried the expensive cosmeceuticals and have ended up frustrated, try this assortment of organic health products. Less expensive - more effective. Grady Harp, February 14
