Sally Hornsey runs Plush Folly, a private cosmetics training company, specialising in a range of cosmetic-making workshops, kits and home study courses. Sally has taught many students how to design a range of skin care products for their own use and has given students the skills and knowledge they need to establish a flourishing business.

DESCRIPTION This book will guide you through creating your own personal range of skin care applications, tailored to your particular skin type - or any body else’s. The products made use natural ingredients where possible, and throughout the book you will find details of the purpose and benefits of the ingredients used. You will also learn about ingredients that can be substituted so that you can adapt the recipes to suit your or others` needs. KEY POINTS

• Just as people want to be able to cook food from scratch and know what goes into it, so with skin care people want to avoid ingredients, such as preservatives, that they may be allergic to, and choose the best ingredients in terms of quality, purity and sustainability.

• Making your own skin care products will save money and is in tune with ecological principles.

• This book is ideal for those interested in home craft, therapists or salon owners, or anyone wanting to start or expand a business; or for those who simply want to be in control of what they and their family put on their skin.
