Re: Bitten by the Natural Bug
I’m somewhere in between now. I use what works for me. I don’t buy into all the the expensive miracle creams, nor do I think chemicals are going to give me cancer.
When I was in my early twenties, I did make the switch to natural. Lush had just taken off and I was using cleanser, toner and moisturiser from them as I thought it would help my acne. When my hair started falling out, I switched to sulphate free shampoos but it didn’t help and my hair just became dull too so I switched back. Turns out it was just stress and they got better on their own in time.
Everyone here knows how much I love oils, so they are are staples in my routine. And I’ve always kept to the natural toners since first trying them. But moistursier and hair products… give me man made stuff.
And I wish someone had told me about peels when I had acne or that I knew about retin-A earlier. My sister is using glycolic acid and in the last 3-6 months her skin has improved so much.
stoppit, I love my skin care products. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to leave retinol or my salicylic acid toners or even my facial moisturizer. I don’t know anything natural that has ever controlled my skin the same way!
Been there done that for almost 10 years - gave up for a while along the way! had kids, freaked out reading the labels of baby products and went back on this path again, till this day I still haven’t found a natural deodorant that actually works, as goes for shampoo your recipe sounds pretty good! try adding fragrance and see where it takes you! I would love to try ‘neem leaves’ shampoo
Yeah, lots of people tell me to use baby shampoo and I did for a bit but hated it. My hair felt like straw all the time.
