Oil Cleansing Method, 
 Oil Cleansing Method, wash skin with a mixture of two oils.
 see oil cleansing method at Crunchy Betty  try a 1:3 ratio of castor oil and jojoba oil.  
Can mix oils in hand, or mix in a bottle for convenient use.
Massage the oils into dry, unwashed skin for a good minute or two,
and then steam face for a few seconds with a hot washcloth.
After gently wiping the oil from face with hot washcloth, work a tiny amount of silky jojoba onto skin.
Whaaa? Oil? On mah face? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?  But it works.
And amazingly. Skin feels so soft and clean and healthy, no stinging, no uncomfortable tautness... And achy inflamed skin rebounds much more quickly after a breakout.
It feels like a miracle, like the coolest secret ever, a savior for skin troubles.

The skin will tell us what is going on inside,
for the skin is an eliminating/cleansing/detox organ like the liver,
so what we eat comes out through the skin -- just as it also goes through the liver.
So the way to have beautiful skin is to think about what we eat-
plus avoid toxic cleaners, cleansers, make-up, perfume, sprays, 
deodorants, shampoos, fertilizer, chlorine, flouride
that not only damage the skin, but are also absorbed internally, 
so then damage the liver- a never ending circle.
The worst way to absorb chemicals/toxins is via the skin, 
so the most important place to have a water filter is in the shower/bath
What can we do to filter our water of toxins-that cause cancer etc
Mercola.com/natural-water-filter-system 
It is vital to use natural salt, ie damp grey real seasalt or himalayan salt
and eliminate: sugar; processed dairy; hydrogenated oils; white flours/processed foods; 
artificial colours, flavours, preservatives etc; and toxins.
We forget all these toxins invading us cause inflammation,
 which cause dis-ease eg heart dis-ease, diabetes, auto-immune dis-ease /chronic fatigue etc.

Skin Care
Read The Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Database 
We don't need expensive skin products, 
if we eat well and use natural oils
One of the core principles to remember when it comes to skin care
 is that whatever you slather onto your skin will absorb into your body and enter your bloodstream. 
This is why it's so important to avoid personal care products containing questionable chemicals! 
Your skin is an excellent drug delivery system, so you should be just as careful with what you put on your skin
 as you are with what you eat, if not more so, as your gut actually helps protect you 
against some of the toxins you ingest by filtering them out...
It's been used for decades by professional massage therapists to knead away tight stressed muscles, 
and coconut oil is well-known for its skin care benefits.  
It helps protect your skin from the aging effects of free radicals, 
and can help improve the appearance of skin with its anti-aging benefits.
due to its stability and resistance to oxidation and free radical formation. 
Coconut oil  for Skin -
Thecoconutmama/easy whipped cocnut oil -moisturizer
click -coconut oil - Put This Food on Your Skin for best anti-wrinkle cream 
Physiologist and biochemist Ray Peat, Ph.D. considers coconut oil an antioxidantv ,  
Plus, he believes it reduces our need for the antioxidant protection of vitamin E. 
Like Dr. Peat, many believe coconut oil may help restore more youthful-looking skin. 
When absorbed into your skin and connective tissues,
 it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 
by helping to keep your connective tissues strong and supple.
 It also aids in exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, making your skin smoother.

Feeding Your Skin from the Inside Out
Ideally, you'll want to avoid toxins and feed your body with proper nutrition both inside and out. 
If your diet and overall lifestyle is poor, it tends to be reflected in your skin and hair.

For example, if the skin on the top of your hand is not smooth as a baby's behind,
 it's a strong indication that your body is deficient in omega-3 fats. 
I believe most people need to be taking a high quality omega-3 supplement
 as omega-3 deficiency is as rampant as vitamin D deficiency. 
My favorite is krill oil, as its overall health benefits surpass that of regular fish oil, 
largely because it is far more bioavailable, better protected with antioxidants and therefore not rancid, 
and far more sustainable than fish oil.

Krill oil also naturally contains another excellent skin benefactor, namely astaxanthin--
a potent antioxidant that has been identified as being beneficial for your complexion. 
Not only can astaxanthin give your skin an attractive glow, 
it may also help prevent wrinkles from the inside out, 
and can help protect your skin against a variety of radiation, 
both from medical scans and harmful UVA sun rays.
 Yes, it actually works like an internal sunscreen!

 For beautiful skin-Ok, so this isn't a remedy per se, but it's definitely worth mentioning. 
Clay makes a fabulous facial mask, for shrinking pores, tightening and toning skin, removing impurities, 
sloughing off dead skin cells, and just making your skin look and feel great overall. 
It can also be used directly on pimples to reduce their size and inflammation and get rid of them faster.
For drawing out infectionsThough I chose to use activated charcoal, I could have easily used clay in its place whenhealing my son's infection. Clay, like charcoal, has that same ability to draw out toxins and harmful bacteria.

Triclosan-this chemical is a chlorinated aromatic compound and is used to help reduce or prevent bacterial contamination. It's commonly added to many antibacterial soaps and body washes, toothpastes, deodorants
 and certain cosmetics, as well as furniture, kitchenware, clothing and toys.
Avoid ANY product that contains triclosan as an ingredient on the label, not only because of the new decreased muscle function finding, but also because of its impact on hormones/thyroid.

Get Your Glow On!
One of the most profoundly effective ways to improve your complexion
 is by consuming vegetables and fruits ---that are high in carotenoids. 
Carotenoids give red, orange and yellow fruits their color, 
and also occur in green vegetables. Astaxanthin, which is also part of the carotenoids family, 
is produced only by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. 
It is what gives shrimp and flamingos their pink color, courtesy of the astaxanthin
 in the algae that is part of their staple diet.
Studies have shown that eating foods with these deeply colored pigments
 can help make your face actually look healthier than being tanned. 
In one study, the more red and yellow tones found in the person's skin,
 the more attractive they were found to bexiii. 
The redder tones are caused when people are flushed with blood,
 particularly if the blood has lots of oxygen in it. Dr. Stephan found that, 
given the choice between skin color caused by suntan and skin color caused by carotenoids, 
people preferred the carotenoid skin color, 
so if you want a healthier and more attractive skin color, you are better off eating a healthy diet.
I'm also convinced that astaxanthin can be a profoundly beneficial supplement for most people, 
much like omega-3 fat, because of its multi-varied health benefits.

Not only is it a potent antioxidant, 
but it is probably the most potent natural anti-inflammatory we know of, 
and it is likely to help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration,
 the most common cause of blindness in the US. While krill oil contains astaxanthin naturally, 
it does not contain what is now believed to be therapeutic amounts, 
so I recommend taking a separate astaxanthin supplement for most people. 
Studies suggest the ideal dose is around 10-12 mg per day for clinically relevant benefits.

the skin cannot expel /breathe as required.
note-When healthy - the perspiration will be sweeter.

Easiest recipe- mix coconut oil, baking soda, arrowroot or cornflour, few drops of oil-eg peppermint -  it works.
A . Mommypotamus.com/easy-homemade-deodorant
  1.  (½ cup baking soda and 1/2 cup arrowroot or GM free cornstarch) 
  2. add a few drops peppermint or rose oil,
  3. Mix with 8 T melted coconut oil, store in a jar.
 Rub on with fingers, rub over feet then :)

  • NOTE-If you have sensitive skin, try 1/8 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup arrowroot.
  • and also note, during winter
  • coconut oil works - it is an excellent
    antibacterial & deodorant on its own.
  • Wellnessmama/make-natural-deodorant
Pennilessparenting/Make-deodorant-stick
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
    1/2 cup GM free corn starch/potato starch/tapioca starch/arrowroot powder
    8-10 tablespoons coconut oil
    Equipment
    Plastic wrap or sandwich bag
    Toilet paper roll tube (or paper towel tube cut
    1. Make sure your baking soda isn't clumpy.
    2. Mix well baking soda and starch. 
    3. Add coconut oil, one tablespoon at a time, until 
  • a  thick paste (almost like playdough).
    4. Spoon the paste into a cut piece of plastic wrap or into a sandwich bag.
    5. Place the wrapped mixture inside your toilet paper tube. Push it down so that it reaches the bottom, so there is more of the mix above the rim, making a mound, as in the picture on site.
    6. Wrap the excess plastic wrap or sandwich bag over the mound and place in the fridge until hard.
    To use,  remove plastic wrap, and rub on.
    When the mound on top is finished, push up inside the tube so you have more sticking out.

    Baking soda stops odour, and is an antibacterial. 
  • Corn starch absorbs moisture. 
  • Coconut oil, binds the mix, is good for the skin,
  • is antibacterial, antifungal and odour blocking.
