Aztec Indian Healing Clay
This ancient skin care method
involves mixing powdered clay with water and raw organic apple cider
vinegar to help neutralize the acidity. The result is a foamy,
mousse-like paste that's worn as a mask for about ten minutes at a time
or until you begin to feel the clay pull away from your skin. The clay
is supposedly made of mineral-rich volcanic ash with a negative charge,
pulling positive charged dirt and debris from your pores. In addition to
cleaning pores, the clay also claims to increase circulation.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea
tree oil soothes the senses as well as irritated skin. Its
anti-bacterial properties make it a veritable opponent for acne and
blemishes without the unwanted side effects that come with other
treatments like benzoyl peroxide. Tea tree oil is also effective in
treating dandruff and preventing nail disease.
Goat's Milk Soap
Unlike
water-based soaps, un-processed goat's milk offers many skin-nourishing
benefits. Fat molecules moisturize, vitamin A repairs damaged skin and
fights acne and wrinkles, alpha hydroxy acids promote cell turnover and
minerals like selenium help to prevent skin cancer. And I just liked it
for the smell!
Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap
This magic soap is
certified organic, fair trade, vegetable-based and has about a million
uses. It's comprised of coconut, jojoba, and hemp oil as well as pure
essential oils that produce a rich lather without the use of harsh
sulfates. The soap is incredibly concentrated so diluting in water is
recommended, which means one bottle will go a long way.
Beeswax
I
love using beeswax-based lip balms. The wax provides a barrier,
protecting your skin while still allowing it to breathe and works as an
emollient, to soften the skin. Beeswax is also anti-viral,
anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory making it an excellent treatment
minor skin irritations.
Pumpkin Peel

pulp, enzymes and fermented juice, which works to exfoliate and nourish

Buckthorn Facial Cream
Sibu Beauty's
Repair & Protect Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream is free of parabens,
allergens and preservatives, but it's chock-full of skin nourishing
benefits. Omega 7 fatty acids boosts collagen production and promotes
tissue recovery, fighting against signs of aging like dryness and
wrinkles.
