This is an invaluable resource to beginning to make your own facial cream, body butters, massage oils, bath salts and scrubs, lip balms, and more -- right in your kitchen with many ingredients already found in your pantry. Gladstar's experience is distilled into clear instructions full of common sense and helpful tips and charts for going beyond the recipe. She also explains how to use the items with helpful routines, such as a five step skin care routine, a step-by-step guide to applying henna, and the secrets to the perfect pampering bath.
