Plant-Powered Beauty, Updated Edition: The Essential Guide to Using Natural Ingredients for Health, Wellness, and Personal Skincare (with 50-plus Recipes)

Description:

About this item:

You know your diet should be rich in plants for optimal health. So shouldn't the products you apply to your skin, which are absorbed into your body, also be filled with plants? 

If you've ever looked at the back of your so-called "natural" facial moisturizer or body cream and seen a list of complicated additives you couldn't recognize or pronounce, then you know firsthand that mass-produced synthetic beauty products can be something of a mystery. 

With Plant-Powered Beauty: The Essential Guide to Using Natural Ingredients for Health, Wellness, and Personal Skincare (with 50-plus Recipes), harness the power of plant-based energy to maintain your natural beauty and let your skin glow like never before. Natural beauty experts Amy Galper and Christina Daigneault show readers how to deconstruct beauty labels, parse ingredients lists, make informed choices about the products they use—and, most important, better understand how their skin works. 

At the heart of Plant-Powered Beauty, you will find more than 50 easy-to-follow recipes to make your own plant-based skincare and beauty products, such as: 

   • Almond Milk Facial Cleanser
   • Anti-aging Facial Scrub
   • Blemish Gel
   • Choc-o-Mint Lip Balm
   • Coconut Whip Makeup Remover
   • Vitamin-Rich Hair Health Serum
   • Quick and Fresh Cucumber-Thyme Body Scrub
   • Moisturizing Body Oil for Super-Dry Skin
   • Natural Mouthwash


Plus, in this updated edition of Plant-Powered Beauty, meet the hottest wellness and beauty ingredient: cannabidiol, a very unique molecule within the Cannabis sativa plant. Research shows that CBD has a remarkable effect on the skin, including supporting tissue repair, evening skin tone, and promoting a youthful glow. 

New CBD recipes—for men and women!—include a salve to reduce pain, bath soak to address inflammation, facial serum for balancing, roll-on for stress relief, body butter, and more.

Plant-Powered Beauty unlocks sought-after wisdom for all aspects of plant-based personal skincare and celebrates the shift in beauty trends, bringing us back to natural beauty and reconnecting us with plants and healthy choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean Beauty Bible

U.M. · April 25, 2018

I have experimented with homemade health and beauty products in the past but have always lacked the time and confidence to make clean, DIY beauty a fully realized lifestyle, so for me, this book is everything!The first section is an organized breakdown (ingredients and effects) of typical store-bought products, all delivered in a way that is actually interesting to read and easy to understand…It offers a really great crash course & reference guide to what we put on our face and bodies.The second section is the reason I will keep this book forever and will probably gift it to everyone I know this coming holiday season. It is basically a recipe bible with easy-to-follow instructions of pretty much every skincare product you would ever want or need.There are some more advanced areas for those who want to got the extra step of making their own ingredients (I.E. dehydrating your plant powder instead of buying), which is insightful and something to aspire to…but for beginners or those with limited time, like me, the recipes and ingredients are still fully accessible. So far I've made lip balm, scalp serum and the shea butter face cream...all feel and work like magic. There is a bug spray recipe that is next on my queue & so many others I can't wait to try. Honestly couldn't recommend this book enough.

The recipes for your digs are on another page why not on that very page idk.It has mouth wash, deodorant, bug spray, scalp treatment, bath, and body but no toothpaste. This is the second book I got missing toothpaste!! How frustrating.The book is beautiful and does have a lot of very nice recipes. It’s a good add to library. But not the best.

Love this book

I love this book!

T. · February 22, 2019

This is a wonderful book for beginners and more experienced makers like myself. Having researched natural butters and oils a bit already and made some creams and oils myself, I'm at a point where I want to learn more, and bring my love and experience of herbalism to making facial and body creams oils. This book is all that I wanted and hoped for, with loads more. The lovely writers are aromatherapists, among other things, and their knowledge, experience and passion for plants is clear in every part of this book. Things I love the most are the very detailed but clearly laid out lists of chemical constituents and properties for essential oils, oils and butters, a few of which I have never heard of (tomato seed oil, who knew?!) and plants. I didn't expect a chapter on infusing some of my favourite healing plants, although I hoped they would appear somewhere, nor a whole section on fruits! I love this book! I have learnt so much already from a couple of hours of browsing and have barely glanced at the recipes. If you are a beginner or more experienced maker and want to learn more about natural plant products and making face and body creams, scrubs and oils, this is a brilliant book to have. I can't recommend it enough.

Suitable for some, not for me

N.S. · November 21, 2020

I had hoped for many more lotion recipes
