Natural Skin Care Questions!

[Yeshia]

Hello all,

I am 100% Raw and am treating my skin with coconut oil etc.

However, I need to make the natural commitment all over, face make up etc .

So I am hoping that you can all help me please. I would love your recipes for natural skin care products;

Face masks , exfolients ,moisturizers etc for your face and body

PLUS

What about make up lines ??

Can you recommend any natural make up line please.

I dont wear tons of the stuff only on special occasions but lol

Thanks a lot

Yeshia

P.S.

As a raw Vegan can I put dairy products on my face e.g. Yogurt ?

[justinesmith]

Hello dear! We use Morroco Method ~ it is supposed to be raw vegan. I wish I had more makeup tips for you but I am allergic to almost everything. I do use bare minerals on my eyebrows tho and M.A.C mascara which I am sure isn't a good thing.

I'm not sure the benefits of putting yogurt on your face.....the skin is our biggest organ so I wouldn't personally put dairy on it ~ of course that is your call. The greatest thing I've found for skin is drinking cucumber juice and oil pulling. www.oilpulling.com gives some great info. Good luck!! :D

thanks for the Morocco Method. I've been reading their site all morning and can't wait to order some products.

[Yeshia]

Where did you move it please:)

[Yeshia]

Thank you all these are some great links :D

What is the link for the Morroco method please I cant find it lol

[justinesmith]

The website is: www.morroccomethod.com and my FAVORITE products are the Diamond Crystal Mist conditioner and the Euro Organic Oil (I use it on my face every day and night as well as in my hair) and I cleanse with their bar soap as well (sorry don't have the name). We've used all the shampoo as well and really liked it. Currently we are using Dr. Bronner on our hair because dh likes that is foams. Morrocco doesn't lather. Happy shopping! :D

[Yeshia]

The site is awesome thank you so much:)

Hi Yeshia,

I haven't had the chance to try either of these two product lines, but I really want to and hope to in the near future. I have heard people call these "raw food for your face" :

there is also a very nice book by Brigitte Mars called "Beauty by Nature" and it has some wonderful recipes for beauty products (you can check it out on amazon)

good luck to you!

Don't forget the all natural deodorants and toothpaste!

[starborne]

Haven't tried it yet; here's a site for natural mascaras.

The best facial scrub I've ever used, I make in my kitchen.

1/4 cup brown sugar
1tbs honey
1tsp ACV

I always have a little container of it in my shower and then follow up with a touch of coconut oil on my face. Makes your skin feel like a baby's butt.

I've been NoPooing for 2 weeks now and my hair has never looked better! It's soft, shiny, silky and the curl is incredible! I can't wait for it to grow out now!

For my face, I wash it with raw honey. I just dab it on, wet my fingers, rub it all around, then rinse. Then I use coconut oil.

I can't wear makeup b/c of my MCS. I've been tempted to get my eyebrows tattooed but I"m afraid of the dye. So I just have to be a plain jane :)

I use crystal deoderant and I make homemade soap.
That's it.

I use minerals. Mineral makeup is super soft and when you apply it it's so
smooth! It's about $4.00 more than regular makeup but from my own experience if I fall asleep without wiping it off I dont break out like regular makeup!

Should you increase the fibre in your diet?:p

[subbacultcha]

I've been doing the oil cleansing method for under a week and my skin already looks so much better. So cheap as well!

I use the stone crop cream(since summer '07) from Eminence Organics and I LOVE IT. Please check out this line! :D:D

[berrynice]

Could someone explain nopooing? I've never heard of this. What am I missing?

[crawmommy]

I believe it is not shampooing hair with shampoo and just using water to rinse your hair on a regular basis. some testimonials on the site and others state that hair becomes soft and manageable with out the products being used.
