Homemade skin care products from beneficial essential oils – 4½ stars,
I had no idea what a hot topic essential oils have become until I searched for “essential oil” in the Books department at Amazon and got almost 21,000 hits. In “Essential Oils Beauty Secrets,” author Pamesh Y approaches this popular subject by claiming that our bodies are not meant to absorb the chemicals in products we apply to our skin all day, products ranging from toothpaste to cosmetics. The book advocates that we detoxify our bodies, beginning with our skin, by replacing chemical cosmetics with natural products that contain so-called “essential oils” – natural oils that are extracted from plants. These oils are well absorbed by the skin and hair, and can even be inhaled (aromatherapy).
The book focuses on the benefits of essential oils to the skin, hair, and nails, plus secondary benefits such as promoting deep sleep, relieving colds and sore throat, and in massage to relax muscles and relieve muscle aches. There’s a list of the twenty most effective oils, with several that are well known (chamomile, olive oil, and coconut oil), and some that aren’t so well known (hemp seed oil, myrrh, and sandalwood). The book cautions against using some well known oils that have deleterious effects on the skin. It’s noted that some beneficial oils are too concentrated to use in undiluted form, so these need to be diluted with “carrier oils” such as olive oil or sunflower oil.
The book gives instructions on how to determine your own skin type and hair type, followed by more than forty recipes for making your own skin care products with essential oils. Some of the ingredients are fairly exotic, and I think the book would have been a bit more helpful if the author had given some sources for obtaining these ingredients. That’s my only negative comment about the book. Otherwise, the book is full of practical information for anyone wanting to eliminate or reduce the amount of potentially harmful chemicals their body is absorbing, and make their own skin care products from naturally-occurring essential oils.

|Natural ways to tend to your integument and body and peace of mind!,
Satendra is an Engineer from India who happens to also be a health and beauty expert whose pen name is Pamesh Y. In this very accessible book we discover the secrets of essential oils, their sources, the history of their uses, and then specific uses of these oils in caring for the body and mind. It is elegant and it is charming, and with some practice this book should replace many of the far more expensive potions on the cosmetic shelves!
Essential oils are natural oils that are extracted from plants. Unlike actual oils, essential oils do not contain fatty acids. Instead, these are highly concentrated plant elements, which possess potent qualities for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The author stresses the importance of replacing the `chemical’ cosmetic substances with these naturally occurring oils and shows us how to created recipes for the many uses for which these essential oils are designed. As stated in the introduction, `We are living in a chemical world…from toothpaste in the morning to makeup cleaner at night.’ Nature has not designed our body to absorb all these chemicals, so what is happening is our body is accumulating toxic materials daily and these foreign materials are toxins we should purify form our body and replace them with natural substance that accomplish the same desired effect.
Just the listing of the names of these essential oils is soothing – Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose, Almond Oil, Lavender Rose, Sandalwood, Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Tea Tree, Jasmine – each of these have anti aging qualities to enhance skin, hair, nails, eyes, body massage, etc. After a fine introduction to the aspects of each of these and their uses, the author offers recipes for blending products in our home that assure us we are applying only safe and natural oils to our body’s health.
The book is warmly written, though an editor who could correct the grammar and phrasing and spelling would be helpful. But with that small criticism aside, this is a wealth of knowledge shared by someone who has obviously done the research! Grady Harp, June 13
