Frequently Asked Questions...
What are some good organic face products?
i have combination skin (some parts are oily, some are dry) i want to stop using chemical products because i heard they ruin your skin more than they help. right now i use noxema face wash, neutrogena toner, olay moisturizer, and sometimes i'll use proactive wash in lieu of an exfoliant but i i hate it. i also use mary kay revitalizing mask. i'd rather get something affordable but if it's phenomenal then a couple extra bucks is ok.
Answer:
I hate to break it to you... But organic skin care is really expensive. I'll recommend a couple options for you...
Dr. Hauschka is completely organic. Their holistic approach to skincare is based on the belief that your skin is actually smart, so their products just help "guide it to a balanced state." I find that a lot of their products work really well, though since my skin is mostly oily, I'm going to recommend a couple products from them that I've never tried.
Cleanse - Cleansing Cream
Tone - Clarifying Toner
Moisturize - Melissa Day Cream
Eyes (if you're over age 25) - Daily Revitalizing Eye Cream
Lips - Lip Care Stick
Exfoliant - Cleansing Clay Mask
Deep Nourishing Treatment - Rejuvenating Mask
Start by buying the first three... Buy the last four if you really fall in love with the brand. Check out their website: http://www.drhauschka.com/default.aspx
Lotus Moon is another great holistic skincare brand. Their approach to skincare is more convential, try this if the unique Dr. Hauschka approach doesn't work for you.
Cleanse - Amaranth Gentle Cleanse
Tone - Tonic Rebalance
Moisturize - Citrus Honey Clarifying Lotion
Eyes & Lips (if you're over age 25) - HydraFirm Eye & Lip Gel
Lips - Lip Recovery
Exfoliant/Deep Nourishing Treatment - Living Sea Powder Masque
Again, start with the first three, and add the others if you love it. There website is here: http://www.smbessentials.com/

Facial Cleansing Tips
Tips 1: Take 1 tbsp of un-boiled milk, dip a small pad of cotton wool in this and rub on the face gently. Use circular movements, use upward strokes on the neck area. Leave this on for 15 minutes. Wash with cold water.
Tips 2: Take a thick slice of cucumber. Don't peel the slice, rub in a circular motion all over the face and neck areas. Wash after 15 minutes.
Tips 3: Halve a tomato, gently rub over face and neck and wash after 15 minutes.
Tips 4: Take the half of a lime peel, from which the juice has been extracted, rub this firmly on the face and the neck. Using a Scrub-(once in 3-4 days). After washing off the milk or juice - take a tsp of oat bran or wheat husk or gram flour (besan). Make a paste with a few drops of water and rub the face and neck gently with this. This sloughs away the dead cells and gives the face a glow. Don't use soap, just splash on cold water that will act as an astringent and close the pores.
Tips 5: Use green gram powder or rice flour mixed with curds instead. Oily Skin: If the face is oily, After a bath as a base for make-up use some diluted limejuice to dab on before application of foundation or any other make-up.
Tips 6: Diluted buttermilk dabbed on the face and left for 15 minutes, gently wipe with moist cotton wool before applying make-up.
Sleep on a clean pillow case every few days, you can put tea tree oil on it at night, use the mint julep mask twice a week. That really helps. Also make sure you exfoliate twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells. Make sure your cleanser has acne medicine and most importantly drink plenty of water. That will help the most. I used to have problem skin, but now it is smooth and clear. I also put baking soda mixed with water on my face and take a shower. it helps to exfoliate. That is what makes it baby soft. Good luck. What works for one person might not work for others. Using witch hazel as an astringent also helps some people. I know the baking soda will get your skin noticeably smooth right after you do it. I do the baking soda thing right after work on MWF. I do the Mary Kay micro dermobrasion twice a week and Loreal Adult Acne Peel twice a week. My skin was breaking out like everyday, but now it is looking great and the spots are almost gone! * 2 years ago
