Has anyone else read this book? I read about it in TIME magazine and it's supposed to be a great book that introduces clean, natural cosmetics.
It actually prompted me to do multiple Google searches and that's how I came upon this website (as well as another essential website, Skin Deep).
I 'ordered' it from my local library and I should get it in the next two days. I'll post a review in a few days  |

Whoops! It took me longer to get the book than I thought it would. I haven't read all of it yet, but I'm devouring it rapidly
The information is provided in an easy to understand way (no bizarre scientific rants) and the tone is very informal. It's divided into sections for hair, face, makeup, ingredients, etc. For each section, they talk about the products and misconceptions that we have, then provide a few healthier options. I just bought some of them and I can't wait until they arrive!
It's a fun and informative book and I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to revamp their body/face care routine. There are tons of little hidden treasures in this book :)If anyone wants me to list a few of the healthier options that they give you, just post! |

Okay! I'll start with the hair
Just a side note, the reason why I found this book so helpful is mainly because of their suggestions for products. I use the Cosmetics Database to find natural products, but there are so many that I don't know which ones to pick. The authors in this book tried each and every one of these products so I can skip the hesitation at buying a new product that no one has ever used.
One interesting thing I noted from the hair section was that one of the authors has gone a year (or more...I forget the exact time span) without using actual bottled shampoo!
They give you shampoos that you can make from baking soda, vinegar, corn starch, and flowers (!).
One of the bottled alternatives that they really promote is John Masters Organics. However, this bottle is really expensive! I'm currently using Burt's Bees (I switched from Dove and Pantene) and I've been experiencing a considerable reduction in "hair loss", so it's worth it to switch to something more natural. Another shampoo they suggest is Dr.Hauschka Shampoo with Apricot and Sea Buckthorn.
I won't list everything because I'm not exactly sure if the authors would like me recreating their book in my post
Tell me if you'd still like more though! |
