Part DIY vegan beauty how-to, part cookbook, and part self-improvement manifesto, The Compassionate Chick’s Guide to Beauty showcases non-toxic, rejuvenating and restorative skin care and beauty products that you can whip up in your kitchen with simple ingredients for pennies per treatment. Why spend $40 on a facial mask or $8 on a package of organic facial wipes when you can make these products yourself for just a dollar or two. With Sunny’s witty, whimsical, edgy and inspirational style, easy-to-follow instructions plus step-by-step photos that detail how to make and use the products, this book is a delight to read. The recipes are easy, inexpensive and provide real beauty results. Everything you need to know about making your own vegan cosmetics is here – from the benefits of going vegan and why it’s important to only use products that haven’t been animal tested to a complete list of what you’ll need to get started from the ingredients to the equipment.
