Seasons change, and your skincare routine can, too. In Natural Beauty for All Seasons, natural beauty expert Janice Cox walks readers through 250 body, bath, and hair care recipes that they can make on their own during each season! Not one of the recipes calls for any more skill than being able to boil water. And an introductory section reveals what equipment is necessary and where needed ingredients can easily be found.

Start your year off right with the New Year’s Champagne Scrub and the Sweet Orange Yoga Spray.
