I've experimented with homemade cosmetics, but... I sweat. So, I mostly just skip the makeup.
In winter, I try hard to keep showers & hair washing down to 2x/week, to keep my skin & hair from drying out, too much. In summer, I try to keep showers down to 2 or 3x quick ones/day, lol. Summer hair washing is 'as needed', but I still try to keep it to no more than 2x/week.

I wash my face regularly and try to avoid too much sunlight, but I'm curious what permies people do to take care of their skin. Thoughts? Any interesting folk practices that you've heard of?

This stuff would literally erase ZITS overnight--and my friends would notice. I've tried other soaps, but they leave my skin feeling and looking oily. I will be 47 in 7 days. I need all the assurance I can get, and using this soap gives me the confidence that I have a restored moisture balance to my skin. It also smells so good! I've used it for other things, but I prefer to save it for cleaning my face--and other parts that tend to get oily, on occasion.
I don't own the plants, they own me.

What brand of natural shampoo bar do you use? I have long hair and haven’t yet found one that produces good results.
Thanks.
