Reader Reviews:

This book was so cool! I had an awesome time just reading through it. The recipes are wonderful. Its so much fun. We got the nail art book also, and at my sleepover we did nails and made some of the concauctions in the book. I LOVE IT! i TOTALLY reccomend it. fun fun fun fun fun fun fun FUN!!!this book is really cool. it gives you great directions and as a whole, picks recipes that include ingredients you could find at home. it also includes essential oils and other must-haves. this book is really fun and would make a great gift.I have to say, I'm a sucker for Klutz books. They give simple, easy to read instructions, and you get all of the supplies to do it with! How fun!
The Body Book is my favorite book of all, though. It has tons of recepies for your skin, hair, face, hands, nails, and feet. All the ingredients I have tried so far have made a signifant difference after I tried them! The book includes three essensial oil bottles, a shower cap, tools for your nails, a foot scrub, and a face brush. The pictures in the book are beautiful as well, which makes it all the more worthwile to read. Who would I suggest this book to? Girls 12 and up, teenage girls would especially love it, but I'm sure many women would too! It makes a great gift!****My mom bought this for 10-year-old Amanda, who has eczema, and has to be careful what she puts on her skin.

For other pre teens who need to be careful of skin, - this is great! You know what the ingredients are, as you make the concoctions yourself. Now all can join the herbal and scented shampoo/body potion craze.

Directions are easy to follow, but be prepared for a little searching for a couple ingredients (we initially had trouble finding sea salt which was used in one of the best recipes)

Great recipes included milk bath for dry skin, and salt skin scrubs (seriously-feels great!) for mild exfoliating and skin softening.

Pre-teens and teens can follow recipe instructions fairly easily, but may need help shopping for a couple of the more hard to find ingredients. (Natural beauty supply stores and the Internet helped)

****Lots of good, *clean*, healthy fun, attractive to young teen girlsI recently purchased this book and it is fantastic! It has recipes for hair,face, hands, feet, etc. I've tried some recipes and they actually work! This book comes with a spa box that contain 3 essiential oils and other items that are necessary. It also shows you to give a complete facial, manicure and pedicure! All the recipes are simple and you could find the ingrediaents in your kitchen! Enjoy!
