SHEA BUTTER, ALMOND OIL, OLIVE OIL, COCONUT OIL AND OTHER NATURAL PLANT

Did you know that many healing herbs and plants are mentioned in the Bible?

dry, damaged skin and stops itching; especially good for sore, cracked hands and heels.

SOAPS: LARGE, LONGLASTING BARS. WE CALL THESE GLYCERIN-RICH SOAPS

developed because research showed me that people with skin problems have trouble
tolerating the drying ingredients in traditional soaps. They are full of the healing herbs.

HEALTHY SKIN HANDBOOK
Full-color cover, 8 ½ X 11; more than 80 pages with complete index, HSH $20.00 No other
publication has so much about your skin in one place! While researching and making notes
on skin problems and herbs that help, I found I had tons of information that I wanted to
share. And share I do – at home, at work, at craft fairs, with my family and friends – but that
didn’t seem like I was reaching enough people. So I gathered my books and my notes and
put together what has become known as the Healthy Skin Handbook.

If you have a skin problem, the information in this book could change your life. Even if you
don’t, it will lead you toward healthier living. It contains

Easy-to-understand information on why skin care is so important
Common skin problems and natural solutions for taking care of them
A list of chemicals in today’s skin-care products and what they do to our skin and
bodies
How to find out what’s in your favorite skin care product
Why “natural” doesn’t necessarily mean “natural” in product ingredients
A list of herbs you can count on to help your skin (and your body) be healthier
How to avoid using products that contain things that are suspicious
How we can get healthier skin by eating the right foods
How to care for aging skin

Recipes for making skin-care products from items you might find in your pantry! See a
sample on the back of this page. (Plus some very interesting recipes from books that
belonged to my grandmother in England in the 1800s. You might even feel like making up
some barley water and seeing if it will indeed get rid of wrinkles!)

As a bonus, there is a thirty-page “Skin Care Diary” section with plenty of room to record
everything from the products you use and their ingredients to the foods you eat to help you
toward skin that feels and looks good – and better than that, skin that is healthy!
