For thousands of years people have been looking for ways to care for their skin and improve their appearance. Herbs and other natural ingredients have been used in endless combinations to improve the body, the face and the hair – to soften the skin, brighten the eyes, bring colour to the cheeks and impove the spirits. Today we are confronted by a vast range of ‘beauty care’ products manufactured by large companies that advertise heavily and spend much time and effort on packaging, colouring and perfuming their products. But we should not neglect the fascinating heritage we are heirs to or overlook the wisdom of past ages when life was simpler but beauty just as important.
Lorna Horrocks draws together modern knowledge and traditional tried and proven natural ingredients and techniques to present a complete, natural beauty care plan. There are over 190 recipes in this book. Quotations from old herbals and beauty books and delicate watercolour paintings by Marianne Yamaguchi combine with the fascinating text to make this a book to linger over and enjoy.
