I’ve had problems with my skin for as long as I can remember.  I’ve seen various skin specialists over the years for my eczema and have tried many different creams but nothing seems to have any lasting effect.A few weeks ago I decided to see a naturopath.  Now, I’m somewhat of a sceptic and I’d always considered naturopaths to be little more than modern-day witch doctors. Anyway, I must say I was pleasantly surprised.  The things she said made a lot of sense.  Especially the things about diet and all the harmful chemicals we expose ourselves to on a daily basis.  She pointed out that commercially produced soaps were almost definitely doing me more harm than good and recommended trying less harsh cleaning products.I came back all gung-ho and decided to look into making my own soaps.  At least then I would know what was in them!  I discovered this wonderful book and found it to be an excellent resource for a beginner like myself.The book is well researched and well written.  The author obviously loves what she does and this comes through in her writing.  There are many pictures and the book is a very enjoyable and informative read.  She gives you all the information you need to get you started making your own soaps.  There is even a section for those who want to get into it more seriously and make a business out of it.This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to anyone who might be interested in making their own soaps.  I can’t wait to get started myself!
