Book Review: 'Organic Body Care Recipes'

If the ingredient list on your favorite lotion or face cream contains words that you can’t pronounce and have no clue with they do, it might be time to consider a different approach.

With more and more people adopting a “green” lifestyle, it makes sense to consider making your own personalized body-care products.

This do-it-yourself approach allows for the creation of customized treatments using favorite herbs and other natural ingredients. It’s also a good way to save money and banish irritating or harmful chemicals.

Author Stephanie Tourles’ book, “Organic Body Care Recipes,” is an excellent reference book for those interested in “cooking up” their own products.
