I started using something a few weeks ago that my skin is absolutely loving.
I mix one little part of black Jamaican castor oil with like 2-3 parts of jojoba oil at night. I'm only doing it like 2-3x a week for now - just making sure it doesn't clog my pores (which it doesn't seem to be). Just throwing that idea out there....I love mixing oils and stuff Terri

terri - thanks! I have been loving mixing jojoba oil and aloe vera gel - I do about half and half and if you put it in a jar and shake it up - it has a more lotion like consistency.
I think I like my homemade products the best. I am experimenting with the Every Day Coconut line of facial products, and they are nice, but I think I prefer the concoctions I have made at home. I have also made a body lotion w/ coconut oil and aloe. Donna |

Donna: I'm also going to look into that jojoba oil/aloe vera gel mix you mentioned - I like to alternate products if I can. Terri

I use Lucy Minerals Ambrosia for dry skin in the morning and Sweet Dreams Ambrosia for night time. I wait for a good sale. I got my current bottles for 40% off. These oils really make a difference in our low humidity, cold climate.
You only need a couple drops. I make my own face cleanser, toner, exfoliator and masks but it would be prohibitively expensive for me to order all the oils she puts into her ambrosia line. I love the fact that I'm mixing up my moisturizer fresh, morning and night.

I love far too many moisturizers to just list one. That being said, I use a lot of organic products.
I would definitely ditch that one due to the niacinamide! Anything that may cause a hot flash caused me to be soaked from head to toe! I suffered miserably and the bad part is that I worked for a major cosmetics line and was supposed to look fresh and pretty. For about 3.5 years, I thought I'd constantly be hot, but now I don't get them constantly. My tip is that to save money, I've sometimes been known to spritz my face with rosewater --keep it in the fridge for an extra treat...... You can make a thicker cream turn into a lotion this way. Also, if your skin is getting super dry, the make rosewater/glycerin blends. Also feels good to refresh with when flashing. 2 places I like (first one I just tried.....Other one have used for many years. Www.Skin2spirit.com www.sheaterraorganics.com |
