i always suspected this within the beauty industry….same with certain pharmaceautcals–take them and they make you sicker.
I sent this comment onto my niece who suffers from acne…thank you very very much for this…

We make our own all natural soap for the family to use. We also make our own all natural lotion, but with our soap our skin doesn’t get as dried out, so there is less need for lotion. However, one thing I did notice with pregnancy is that the hormones just got my face breaking out. The solution? natural astringent in the form of citronella and tea tree essential oils mixed with water. A spritz on a cotton ball and my face is cleansed and refreshed. (It also works as a mosquito repellent too!)

For myself I wash myself w/Burt’s Bees face wash, try to use Mineral Makeups. I don’t usually put moisturizer on my face… I know I should, but I just don’t need it. For eye makeup removal I use Grapeseed Oil.

For my baby we use Method baby products.

I have recently found Everyday Minerals to be the best, safest make-up out there. It has exactly 4 ingredients, all minerals that you can pronounce, and all too large to be absorbed by the skin. I don’t wear makeup often, but it is fun to get all “dolled up” for our weekly date nights. I would like to let anyone terrified of putting oil on there already acne prone skin not to worry. I was very impressed when I first started using it, it actually cleared up 90% of the acne that i started with, because of the natural antibiotic properties of the oil. Also the best oil for skin is Organic Unrefined Cold-pressed Coconut Oil. I buy Nutiva brand myself, as they use the whole fresh coconut.

oh no

You must be referring to Clinique and I have been using that for over 10 years.

Alas. We all learn at different times. Since the birth of my daughter 6 months ago my skin is just not what it once was (very healthy!)

I do feel fortunate to have learned about Real Food, etc., while she is still young, at least.

Thank you for the very informative comment.

Natural soap – can you point me in the right direction of some good products? Both of my children have sensitive skin as do I, and most of the over the counter products for sensitive skin are really no different except they contain less frangrance. Thanks for any advice you can give!
