Editorial Reviews
From the Author
This is my personal collection of over 200 beauty recipes.
I have been making my own home beauty products for over
20 years and many of my recipes come from my family.
Home beauty is easy to do, convenient and very cost
effective. I am a busy mother of two and my whole family
enjoy using my recipes. My daughters love making the colored bath salts for gift giving.
The recipes use common household ingredients such as
eggs, honey, oil and cucumber. They call for basic kitchen equipment. Many of the recipes are as simple as mixing together a few ingredients.
The products are perfect for pampering yourself and others. Have Fun and look and feel terrific naturally!

Spot on
An absolute dream to read, fun things to make and above all anyone can make most of the things in this book. Not difficult to source anything which may not already be in your kitchen now online shoping affords us the ease of finding natural ingredients.
I have made a number of the things and have only had my book 2 days.
I would say you don't have to be talented to make the cosmetics in this book, just enthusiastic. I have had a brilliant 2 days playing and this book is a great investment. I doubt in truth, I will need to buy any commercially produced skin care ever again. So saying I am a fully qualified beauty therapist in the U.K, my standards are high, I am fussy what I put on my skin!!!
Give it a go!
The comprehensive guide to home cosmetics...
This book is fantastic! I bought it for a friend and then had to invest in a copy for myself. I've made several concoctions already, and am itching to use up my commercially purchased products so I can justify making more of my own. Contains a very useful page on substitutions, which is invaluable if you can't get hold of some of the more unusual ingredients.
A winner.
Probably the best of Janice Cox's books. No sloppy kitchen cosmetics of dubious value. These easily made recipes yield professional grade, therapeutic products with excellent shelf life. Very sound, basic chemistry. The only other book in this class is "Make Your Own Cosmetics" from Neal's Yard Remedies in London, who specialize in use of natural essential oils and herbal preparations.
