I was really impressed with this book.  It covers a lot of different topics like skin care, exercising, nutrition, and make-up and gives some excellent tips for how to look younger.  Some of the things mentioned I have read before  but there are some new things that I picked up from this book that I will be trying to add to my daily routine.  A great example is the section on nutrition.  Of course we all know to cut back on the junk food and eat more fruits and vegetables.  This book goes beyond that and discusses exactly what foods you should add to your diet and describes why they are important to include in your diet.  There are also some great recipes added at the end to help you to incorporate the right foods into your diet.

I also really liked the section on skin care.  Once again we are given suggestions for specific products to use to keep your skin looking great.  I am definitely going to be trying the suggestions the authors make.  The only section that I was not thrilled with was the make-up section.  I do not wear a lot of make-up at all and the list of things the book suggests to look younger seemed way to long and complicated for me.  Other than that I was pleasantly surprised with how much I got out of this book and I am ready to give a lot of the tips a try and hopefully I will be pleased with the results!

I love this book it was given to me for free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. It was a short read but so well put together. The beginning is about the types of skin and ways to care for different skin. There is a lot of great information that is easily put to use in daily regimen. This is a perfect fit for anyone wanting to take care of the skin.

Deborah Burnes' new book is exactly what you'd look for in a natural skincare beauty productclean and simply made! The layout is open, easy on your eyes, bright white pages with readable chunks of text. Each recipe is laid out the same, so as you flip through the pages your eye knows exactly where to look for what skin type the recipe is recommended for, the specific ingredients, instructions, etc. The recipes are so simple that Ms. Barnes did not need to gunk up the book with lengthy instructions, excessive illustrations or photos of end products. Several beautiful full-page color photographs of ingredients and tools you'll use in your products separate each new section. That's all that was needed.
  I'm a big fan of Ms. Barnes' local Sumbody shop and her fragrant bath fizzers are a favorite, so the idea that I could possibly duplicate her products was very tempting. As I read through the book I was happy to see I could try some of the recipes right away. I had fun pulling together the Tea Toner, Paprika, Honey, and Buttermilk Mask, and the Coffee Scrub (it smells like chocolate! Yum!). After using the mask and the toner I immediately saw an improvement in the texture and tightness of my skin. I was eager to use the mask again, but Ms. Barnes also includes recommendations as to how often you should use the products. Don't want to slough off too much skin! One thing that you'll have to keep in mind is how you'll be getting your products from the fridge to the bathroom sink or shower. If you're only using a singe dose, say of the mask or scrub, you can put a portion in a smaller dish. And the oily scrubs will leave your shower slick and slippery, so rinse well.
  I took a trip to a local health store and was not able to find all the ingredients I was looking for, so it may take some effort to find what you want. Some ingredients may seem pricey, but consider how much money you've wasted on commercially-made products of inferior quality.
  I would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of store-bought products with ingredient lists as long as their arms and want to take their beauty regimen back to basicsreal basics. No chemicals!

Charla Krup's book is filled with great pictures and great tips for just about every body shape and size. I love that she includes product recommendations for items she talks about. One of the more realistic and helpful style books I've purchased.

Lorraine Nightingales 50 Natural DIY Book is a healthy and simple way of looking after yourself, the ones you love and your home.
She has come up with natural beauty remedies that are easy to follow and can transform your looks without using expensive beauty products.
I personally liked the handy tips for daily use around the house. Who hasn't bought chemical products for cleaning ovens and microwaves that don't normally do what the packaging promises?
I have tried a few of her recipes now and I was very pleased with the results. They are simple but effective and in no way as expensive as chemical cleaning products we buy in supermarkets.
Who new that Lemons had such a versatile use?
I can not wait to try the rest of her tips in this book.
Well done would highly recommend.

Amy Waldow has done it again. The author of "77 Outrageously Effective Anti-Aging Tips" has come in with another winner with "55 Fun & Fabulous DIY Beauty Recipes." Mind you, there are more than enough recipes here that can benefit men as well as women, with body and hair treatments, as well as foot scrubs. The great part is that Amy gives you all that you need to know so that you can make your own from the wealth of information that she gives you about all of the ingredients that are available to be used.

Beauty and good personal care need not be "pricey" in the least and this book proves it. Again... just as with Amy's other book... this is one of those essential books that everyone should have.

My sister gave me this book after she read it and reread it. I am doing my very best to bring more natural products into my life, including my beauty regime. I was amazed at how easy it was to read, with great pictures and easy to follow instructions. I would recommend it for the beginner to the expert.

This is a wonderful book, filled with recipes. This is the way to take care of your skin, the way it was done by our grandmothers, with many things you may already have in your pantry, herbs and flowers you are growing in your garden! Lots of beautiful pictures - I am enjoying my copy. I highly recommend this book to those who are interested in making your own lotions, face cleansers, etc. Most of the recipes are designed to be used right away, or in a few days, as no preservatives are used, only antioxidants - like vitamin E.

I like taking care of my health naturist way. I bought this book for a solution for my skin problem, but I found many interesting recipes for both weight loss as to strengthen the immune system only using oils. It is a book easy to follow and all the recipes contain natural ingredients. I fully recommend this small but excellent book for anyone who wants to take their health as a priority.

I have both this book and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Little-Book-of-Skin-Care-Korean-Beauty-Secrets-for-Healthy-Glowing-Skin/dp/0062416383/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Little Book of Skin Care: Korean Beauty Secrets for Healthy, Glowing Skin</a>&nbsp;by Charlotte Cho. The Cho book provides more of a basic overview while this book goes into more depth. Korean Beauty Secrets discusses different skin care routines based on skin type, and has a thorough examination of ingredients as well as product categories. I am finding it to be a great go-to guide.

This book is really fantastic.  These two ladies have a way of speak writing which is my way of saying that they write exactly as they speak.  It comes across very clearly and naturally.  I have picked up heaps of useful tips and it makes you realise that is not about dressing the perfect body but about making the most of your assets and minimizing your less flattering physical attributes.

I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to look and feel their best.

This is a well written book with some very useful information on one of the most important organs in the body, our skin. I have been trying  to get more educated and take better care of my skin, and reading this book was definitely a step in the right direction. The homemade cleansing and scrubbing recipes as well as the toning and moisturizing recipes were the two sections that I appreciated the most. The author explains how to do everything with just the right amount of detail. Although this is not a very long book, it is full of some good information.
