Ladies, and Gents,
When you are shopping for your "organic" products, look at the label carefully. I have found really nasty ingredients in most of the products mentioned above.
It is funny that this thread is here because I am about to launch my own brand any minute now. I finished making my first commercial batch and labeled all the beautiful jars yesterday. The product smells so great. Right now I am starting with a skin cream which also works great for bites, scars, wounds, you can use it on children, pets even, rashes, burns, etc. I love it for my skin the best.
I came upon it by accident and have developed it naturally through the years and am finally at the point of getting it out to all of you. I have been using it myself for about 20 years and would say it is a large proponent in why my skin looks pretty great, I get told so on the regular.
LaT email me your addy and I will send you a sample, I have the cutest packaging ever, so pretty. I even use one of my paintings as the main image. It is an ancient 450 bc Greek image that is super obscure, I have never seen it anywhere else before.
I would tell you more about it but I think maybe not here.
If anyone is interested to hear about it, let me know and I will send you the information.
There is also plenty you ladies and gents can do in the kitchen to mix up your own batches of beauty aids. Very effective and super fresh!
For example, take some olive oil and mix it with 1/3 the amount of unpasteurized honey in a nice clean jar. Fill it about 3/4 full of your honey and oil mixture. Get a chop stick and cut it so it is just shy of the top of the jar. You can use an utility knife to score around the chop stick and then snap it, or you can cut it clean with gardening snips. Sand off any rough edges with an emery board or a tad of sandpaper.
Wash your face and then get your honey mixture ready to apply by stirring fervently with the chop stick until the honey and oil kind of emulsify. Go clockwise, counter clockwise to really get it combined. You will do this every time you use it. Take out the stick and let some of the honey mixture drip onto your fingers and let the stick drop back in the jar and worry about replacing the lid when you can wash the honey off your hands. Rub your fingers and hands together to work the mixture even more and then dab all the key spots on your face quickly. Tip of your nose, forehead, each cheek and your chin. Then begin to rub the mixture nicely into your skin, spreading it around as you go, distributing it all over your fine face. It is fine to go over your eye area as well. Make sure your hair is well out of the way because hair and honey is an itchy and annoying combo.
Let the mixture stay on your face for at least 20 minutes if not much longer. When you need to dash, or are simply sick of that sticky feeling, go rinse your face. Do not scrub; simply rinse the honey layer off. Your skin will be nubile and glowing. The honey is a natural anti-bacterial and it feeds your skin. You will be shocked at how radiant your skin looks after one application.
In a fix for face cream? Organic oconut oil right out of the tub is incredible. It minimizes pores and the skin rapidly absorbs it. Remember ladies and gents, your skin is an organ and you will want to be feeding it.
Need a toner? Apple cider vinegar works a treat.
Oh the things we can do to help our skin is so much fun.
If any of you are interested in hearing about my new company and products, check me out on the other side and I will be happy to hear from you.
