I like the idea of creating homemade beauty products - I have very sensitive skin and too often am allergic to ingredients in store-bought beauty products. Trying to decipher the ingredients printed on products gets my eyes all blurry and I'm usually none the wiser. This book has a shopping list of basic ingredients to use and their respective health benefits. One item new to me is raw potatoes - who knew they could be good for the skin? Other interesting ingredients include ground coffee and fruits. The author shares many recipes for homemade scrubs and masks. I wish she elaborated on suitability for skin types. I've tried the Toning Cucumber Mask and Calming Oats Mask- the effect is much better than similar store-bought masks. Traditional Bulgarian Strained Yoghurt Mask sounds interesting, I'll have to try that one out - if it works for generations of Bulgarian women, it should work for me!
