The quality of this spiral-bound book is wonderful and it is full of great, simple recipies for beauty care products you can make at home. Most of the items used in the recipies are items that I think most people have on hand in their kitchen. Reading the book brings the phrase "Quality Beauty on a Budget" to mind. The book even comes with a really nice spa pack that includes a facial brush, pumice stone, bath infusion bag, nail buffer, headband, and vials of essential oils. While the publisher has the book listed as appropriate for ages 12 and up, it is definately not just for teenagers. It's been a long time since I've seen my teen years and there were several recipies in the book that I can't wait to try for myself. Great to give as a gift or buy for yourself.

****My mom bought this for 10-year-old Amanda, who has eczema, and has to be careful what she puts on her skin.

For other pre teens who need to be careful of skin, - this is great! You know what the ingredients are, as you make the concoctions yourself. Now all can join the herbal and scented shampoo/body potion craze.

Directions are easy to follow, but be prepared for a little searching for a couple ingredients (we initially had trouble finding sea salt which was used in one of the best recipes)

Great recipes included milk bath for dry skin, and salt skin scrubs (seriously-feels great!) for mild exfoliating and skin softening.

Pre-teens and teens can follow recipe instructions fairly easily, but may need help shopping for a couple of the more hard to find ingredients. (Natural beauty supply stores and the Internet helped)

****Lots of good, *clean*, healthy fun, attractive to young teen girls

I recently purchased this book and it is fantastic! It has recipes for hair,face, hands, feet, etc. I've tried some recipes and they actually work! This book comes with a spa box that contain 3 essiential oils and other items that are necessary. It also shows you to give a complete facial, manicure and pedicure! All the recipes are simple and you could find the ingrediaents in your kitchen! Enjoy!

This book is soooo good! The recipes are fun to make and use, and they really work.It has instructions for each different thing and scattered throughout the book are interesting tips and facts. The perfect book if you're planning to do a spa night with some friends.

I have to say, I'm a sucker for Klutz books. They give simple, easy to read instructions, and you get all of the supplies to do it with! How fun!
The Body Book is my favorite book of all, though. It has tons of recepies for your skin, hair, face, hands, nails, and feet. All the ingredients I have tried so far have made a signifant difference after I tried them! The book includes three essensial oil bottles, a shower cap, tools for your nails, a foot scrub, and a face brush. The pictures in the book are beautiful as well, which makes it all the more worthwile to read. Who would I suggest this book to? Girls 12 and up, teenage girls would especially love it, but I'm sure many women would too! It makes a great gift!

Haven't had much time to even try any of the recipes in the book. But have looked all through it, have used some of the great tools the book comes with. I like the simple ideas using the simple kitchen items. Would be great fun to have girls do at a slumber party. Or just a little mom time, which is what I got it for. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes to take care of themselves, naturally, and have fun while doing it. This would be great to have while watching a good movie too! Hope this helps.

When I first bought this book, I was worried that it wouldn't be worth 20 bucks because it had only 7o pages, I was sooooo wrong!
This book is my first spa recipe book, if i could describe it in one word, it'd be wow. Just wow. The nail buffer that comes with it is soooo cool. I never new how to get rid of the ridges on my nails and make them shiney until i read this book and used the nail buffer.This book changed a part of my life! A biiiig part. It even comes with pumic! The miracle of this rock is fantastic, it removes dead skin cells(doesn't hurt a bit) Though i should tell you, it may be kind of a challenge to find rosewater and citric acid. (i havent found it yet but i just got this book 2 days ago.) Anyway, EXCELLENT PRODUCT! a must-have for spa lovers or people who are really tense.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! This is the first spa book I ever bought and I LOVE IT! I wanted a beauty book for Christmas and my mom said if she could find one for a reasonable price she would get it. my favorite section in the book is Bath though the others are real good to.My mom loves the scrubs I make for Her and when she touches my face she says: ohhhhh, your face is really soft!I love how it gives little handy tips along the road to beauty(the book)! I recomend this book for any one who likes to endulge a little!

I ordered this book for my 9 year old daughter and I love it. She's already given herself as well as her brother and me a facial :) Instructions and ingredients are simple and this book is a great lesson for all of us on how to take care of our skin and body.

this book is really cool. it gives you great directions and as a whole, picks recipes that include ingredients you could find at home. it also includes essential oils and other must-haves. this book is really fun and would make a great gift.
