I use diluted tea tree essential oil on my very blemish prone oily skin after cleansing.

Hi Tessa – great tip about witch hazel. Thanks for sharing that. I find that I can use ONE or TWO drops of olive oil on my face at night and it doesn’t make my skin greasy. I apply it after my face is still wet from washing. Then I pat it in.

While olive oil is good for many things, it is very heavy. Jojoba oil is lighter and most compatible with human oils. Very good for hair and skin. It’s available in bulk at most natural food stores.

I disagree about toner being unnecessary: toners help seal the pores of the skin after warm water cleansing. For a natural and frugal toner, try witch hazel. Witch hazel is also indispensible to soothe sunburn and bug bites. A mixture of witch hazel and rosewater (widely used in Mediterranian cooking) in a sprtiz bottle feels wickedly indulgent, even though it’s not.

[...] Low maintenance beauty. I don’t fight nature too much. A little makeup, a pair of well fitting indigo jeans, cute top and girly sneakers or flip flops is my look. I have wavy/curly and very thick hair and don’t try to fight it. I’m wash and wear, baby! I choose hairstyles that fit my hair texture and that don’t need cuts every 6 weeks. I don’t do manicures because when I’m stressed I just tear into my cuticles anyway, and I do my own toes and hair removal procedures. I don’t do trends and prefer a classic look that won’t embarrass me when I look at pictures of myself in 5 years. [...]

Thanks for mentioning Candace. I’ve heard of using baking soda for shampoo before. I think I’ll try it when my current bottle of Jason Naturals runs out.

I have totally fallen in love with the no-shampoo method. I use baking soda to wash my hair and lemon juice in water to rinse. I have been doing it for three months and I absolutly love it!!!!
