4.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't exactly what I wanted, but definitely a keeper!, May 5, 1999
This review is from: Secrets of the Spas: Pamper and Vitalize Yourself at Home (Life's Little Luxuries) (Hardcover)
The book has interesting, useful information. Not only does the author tell you what ingredients to use for certain types of skin but also why. She even gives short history lessons on the properties of the ingredients. I wanted more information as far as shelf life for the preparations and gift giving ideas as there are some of these you cannot package and mail, but I feel I have a good book nonetheless. Even reading the book relaxed me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book! I already look (and feel) 5 years younger!, May 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of the Spas: Pamper and Vitalize Yourself at Home (Life's Little Luxuries) (Hardcover)
This is the best spa book yet! So may of them are unrealistic and made for people who are already supermodels. This spa book is made for the every-day woman with varying body and skin types and different needs. The recipes were imaginative, virtually chemical free and fun to make. I took the day off work today and made about five of the recipes. I feel relaxed and when my husband came home he commented on how vibrant and beautiful I look. Thank you Secrets of the Spa.
