Radiantly healthy skin, hair, feet, hands, eyes,
and nails. Commercial beauty products make this promise every day and
live up to it with varying degrees of success. Stephanie Tourles offers
a better solution to everyone frustrated with the endless cycle of
expensive, synthetic, famous-name cosmetics that often fall short of
expectations. Take control of beauty treatments with homemade products
that use safe, nourishing ingredients to pamper the body and soothe the
senses.
Tourles, a licensed esthetician, herbalist, and aromatherapist, has
developed 175 recipes that are fun, simple, and immensely satisfying to
make in home kitchens. Her natural beauty treatments deliver the
results promised by department store brands — skin, hair, and
nails that glow with vitality and inner wellness. Lotions, scrubs,
toners, balms, and masks polish and balance the skin, soothe current
problems, and prevent future ones. Shampoos, rinses, and conditioners
tone the scalp, boost highlights, and leave hair soft and shiny. The
book's whole-body coverage also includes recipes for hand and footcare,
nail treatments, shaving cream, and even popular spa treatments such as
microdermabrasion exfoliants, detox and cellulite soaks, ayurvedic
oils, and herbal cold salves. Most important, there is never any doubt
about the purity of these ingredients!
Each formula is clearly presented in recipe style, with notes on prep
time, storage, and uses. Many products can be customized according to
personal needs, whim, or mood, and they all use readily available,
natural ingredients. Organic Body Care Recipes is a natural treasure
for every body.
