Girls will love these goodies that soothe body and skin, and make them feel oh-so-pretty, like after a day at Mom’s spa! Easy-to-follow instructions and luscious color photos will tempt the beauty-conscious to whip up these 50 natural soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, and more. Every pampering product uses such everyday ingredients as yogurt, honey, lemon juice, oats, herbal teas, essential oils, aloe vera, and glycerin. For a glowing complexion, they’ll start with a Mudpie Clay Mask. Hair looks its best washed with deliciously scented Peppermint Lavender Shampoo. Bathtime bliss begins with Herbal Bath Teabags and Fizzy Bath Bombs. Shimmer and shine with Glitterbug Gel and Power Punch Lip Gloss.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 7 Up–Filled with lovely full-color photographs of personal-hygiene products and healthy-looking young women, this book will be a hit with aesthetic crafters, but many of the activities call for adult supervision. Smith begins with an extensive list of ingredients but points out that many of them are used in several projects and none are particularly expensive. Many of the recipes are quite detailed and one suspects that they may not turn out looking quite as appealing as the photographs, resulting in a certain level of frustration. Nevertheless, teens and their parents will enjoy the creation process and have some fun, personalized products to use. Stunning, fresh projects, great for a rainy weekend or summer break.–Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA
