A must for those who like to get their hands into projects.

Make Your Own Cosmetics is another invaluable book written by Susan Curtis. This book includes a chapter on body care and health care issues such as the importance of a good diet and exercise. Make Your Own Cosmetics also gives a very detailed list of supplies needed to make the recipies included in the book. There are excellent photographs demonstrating the "how to" of making infusions, tinctures, herbal oils, and creams. Recipies included in Make Your Own Cosmetics cover hair, skin, eye, mouth, ear, hand, foot and body care products. A good 1/4th of this book covers Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils and how to blend and make your own fragrances and perfumes. I am one who looks for some very specific qualities in the books I buy; such as good quality paper, photographs, a well organized Glossary and qualified authors in the Bibliography. All of these are included in Make Your Own Cosmetics. I have made several of the creams, scrubs, and oils from this book and have liked the quality of each one. As usual, Susan Curtis has included a useful Appendix of addresses for supplies through out the world and resources for further information. This is a book to be added to anyones library if they are interested in top quality skin care products.
