Book Description

May 5, 2009

Clean Zen, clean green! Clean Body follows the successful Clean: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing, by cleaning guru Michael DeJong. As with the first book, this is not merely about washing away the dirt: it embodies a mindset, a philosophy, an alternative to mass consumerism. DeJong draws from Eastern belief systems—especially the element theory in Chinese medicine and Asian cooking—and harmoniously balances five pure essentials in his recipes, using baking soda, lemon, olive oil, salt, and white vinegar as the basis for his all-natural concoctions. Including special, separate sections for men and women, Clean Body has ideas for everything from facial exfoliants and natural aftershave to moisturizers and creams for itchy skin, discolored knees, and smooth feet. EVERY part of the body, from head to toe, is covered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean, cleaner, cleanest, May 2, 2009
By 
R. Haymes (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clean Body: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing Yourself (Hardcover)
DeJong has done it again--catching the next round within the greenwashing industrial complex--the beauty industry. Who needs all that goop and gop, 85% of which is never tested and only 3% of which legally even needs to be listed on packaging. DeJong offers hundreds of safe, pure, eco-effective and sustainable recipes made from ingredients found in most homes, to take the dirty work out of keeping yourself, your kids, your family, your neighborhood and our planet clean--and nothing is commercial, there is no packaging, every ingredient is edible AND cheap (inexpensive, sorry!). If you have salt, baking soda, white vinegar, olive oil and lemons, you're all set to scrub yourself from head-to-toe, and what goes down the drain is 100% harmless to Mother Earth!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'll never use other cleansers again!, May 12, 2009
By 
Brownie (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clean Body: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing Yourself (Hardcover)
This book is amazing! By using simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, olive oil, lemon, and salt you can make shampoo, soap, moisturizer, you name it. And it's all chemical free and eco-friendly. Not to mention less expensive, too! My skin has never felt this soft and clean before.

This review is from: Clean Body: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing Yourself (Hardcover)
Once again De Jong comes up with some fabulous ideas. Since getting his three "Clean" books, I find myself reaching for them whenever I have a question about something. I have used several of his suggestions and they work. I feel so good about simplifying my life and the chemicals that I am introducing into my home and body and am awaiting his next book.
