In this day and age, there are all kinds of products on the market to take care of your skin, health, and home. But I hate filling up my bathroom and kitchen counters with all of these products, especially knowing most of them are filled with chemicals! However, after reading the 101 Easy Homemade Products by Jan Berry, I can make exactly what I need and know everything that goes into it!

Kick toxic, synthetic skin care products and cleaners out the door and bring the healing joy of nature into your life with the simple, versatile projects in 101 Easy Homemade Products for Your Skin, Health & Home. In this incredible resource, Jan Berry teaches you the basics of making your own skin care and hair care products, health remedies and household cleaners―then how to customize them into truly unique and personalized items! You’ll learn how to make:

All of the projects are easy to make and use commonly found herbs, flowers, oils and other natural ingredients. No fancy equipment or previous experience required! If you don’t have a certain ingredient on hand, Jan provides tips on how to substitute and what works best. Going green has never been easier or more affordable. With this book, you can use local, natural ingredients to make something beautiful, effective and good for you and your family.

A lot of my readers know that I like to use healthy and natural products when they are relatively easy to use and make, without costing a lot more than simply buying a pre-made product. This book is filled with homemade recipes for products like soap, lotions, lip balm, cleaning products and more!

I find it’s a great way to get more familiar with my essential oils and natural products like coconut oil and beeswax. Plus, I can control exactly how much of each ingredient goes into a recipe, whether I’m using it for my self or giving them as a gift.

The recipes and instructions are very easy to follow and I love the photographs that are included, both of the process itself and the finished products.

101 Easy Homemade Products is definitely worth keeping on the book shelf or giving as a gift, as it’s full of resources and ideas. You can order your copy through Amazon.
