Mostly for the ladies..
What do you use for perfume, lotion, anti aging face creams or remedies, sun screens, etc.?
I love using coconut oil right after the shower. I also use an all natural soap with essential oils. I use Aubrey Organics on my face for now but I'm always looking for much more natural remedies. I love perfume but I would love to find a nice long lasting natural perfume with spicy cents like cinnamon/vanilla, citrus, etc.
What do you guys use?

I use a natural moisturizer (shea butter, oils, etc.) for body, occasionally hair, & now found out it works well for deodorant too. It smells so good that's all I use instead of cologne. I use natural conditioner to wash & style hair, mineral makeup & Dr. Bronners for showering, hands, & a bunch of other things.

I love Dr Bronner's soap, Burt's spray deodorant with sage oil (I don't need deodorant, but it is fun), Rose Water or Orange Blossom water, or Patchouli or Sandalwood essential oils. : ) Sometimes nothing.

I've started using olive oil on my face, it's better than coconut oil for facials.

Sunscreens ARE totally toxic, they react with sunlight to form carcinogens in your skin. Skin cancer rate today is 4-5x what is was before sunscreens hit the market. In other words they CAUSE cancer not prevent it.
I chose the road less traveled and it has made all the difference...
Those who say it cannot be done shouldn’t interrupt the person doing it.

Can't help w/ what the guys use but I don't use anything other than essential oils as fragrance (occasionally) and remedies; shea butter if my skin is dry and as sun protection. Pretty much it.

i really like the stuff from terressentials. www.terressentials.com organic and super-natural. i love the flower therapy replenishing facial cream, have never found anything else like it and its the best thing ive ever found for my face.

i only use essential oils too.....waving hello at Revvell.
i haven't been able to go near perfume for many years. i can smell it on someone a million miles away...raw has made this worse..my eyes water, my throat locks up, my breathing slows down, my brain shouts.
can't be good...i'm a bit biased because of that with the perfume.
the other stuff i have no clue...don't use it, don't need it.
i use natural soaps, one brand of lotion with nothing toxic in it...still using shampoo and conditioner. one thing at a time. eventually i'd like to make my own soaps and shampoos etc. right now i have to go to work. lol.

nada nada nada I am very sensitive to anything scented. I used to wear perfume and then I became very turned off by and it and annoyed. I now smell even "unscented" products. For deodorant I use salt crystal.
Sunscreen is not an issue most of the time as we just don't get that much here and any sun is a good thing.

Even high end$$ perfumes can have artificial essential oils in them. In addition there a many synthetic scent compounds custom made for each perfumery house which we'll never about on the label under the guise of "trade secrets". So go with the pure essential oils.
