It's OK but it is not great September 8, 2002

I bought both "The Herbal Body Book" and her book "The Herbal Home Spa". I have tried several recipes from both books. Some work ok, but others are not worth the effort. For example, a cleansing lotion as thin as water ( no exaggeration), or a shampoo that left my hair feeling worse than before I washed. Not all recipes are bad, and some are downright fun to make and use. I don't regret these as a starter, but rather than buy the rest of her series, I will switch to another author.

It dosen't worth [it]!!! June 17, 2002

Very few recipes compared to the same kind of books.Plus there is nothing new in her recipes. All is "deja Vu" recipes.
[In my opinion you should]save your money buy other better book...
Such as "Natural recipes for perfect skin"by Pierre Jean Cousin also 128 pages but full of recipes and informations, beautiful photos enclose.
Or "Herbal body book"by Jeanne Rose 400 pages real herbal body recipes VS this book only 128pages.

So many of the recipes in Ms. Tourles great book have become staples in my beauty regime. The Minty Astringent is great in the hot summer weather to cool and refresh your complexion. The pH Restorer Facial Steam is wonderful for bringing a healthy glow to tired worn out skin. One of the first few books that I collected on the subject of make it yourself beauty products, I still refer to it very often.

Full of ideas that make great gifts. December 10, 1999

Not only is this book full of natural and easy to make beauty concoctions, it's recipes often make great gift items. The book suggests some creative packaging options, and the creative person will be able to think of many more on their own. Some of the ingredients are a challenge to come by, but between the resources referenced in the book, and searching the Internet, you should be able to track most of them down.
