I saw this little snippet over at ReallyNatural.com. For those of you looking to be green on a strict budget, Clean Body: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing Yourself may just have the answers for you. If you've read the book, please share your thoughts and let us know if five ingredients really works for you. As an aside, I can see how one could do it; I just don't want to. That's a commitment and I have issues with commitment! I like to play the beauty field too much. from Amazon.com Clean Zen, clean green! Clean Body follows the successful Clean: The Humble Art of Zen-Cleansing, by cleaning guru Michael DeJong. As with the first book, this is not merely about washing away the dirt: it embodies a mindset, a philosophy, an alternative to mass consumerism. DeJong draws from Eastern belief systems—especially the element theory in Chinese medicine and Asian cooking—and harmoniously balances five pure essentials in his recipes, using baking soda, lemon, olive oil, salt, and white vinegar as the basis for his all-natural concoctions. Including special, separate sections for men and women, Clean Body has ideas for everything from facial exfoliants and natural aftershave to moisturizers and creams for itchy skin, discolored knees, and smooth feet. EVERY part of the body, from head to toe, is covered.
