I have a few new articles to post here (some eco living ones,
and also working on some new entries just for this blog). The first article is an article on natural ingredients and acne. It
is both an Eco Living and DIY Beauty Formulating Expert article and also a natural info article (thanks Sharon for making the article the main article on anb portal for February!).
There are so many great ingredients that I couldn’t mention
in the article (not enough room)!
But I mentioned a few of my favorites that are easy to find, and most of
them can be found locally. I also
try to focus on a lot of fresh ingredients that most people already have in
their kitchens!
A few other lovely ingredients I didn’t get to mention are
papaya (which has natural enzymes that mildly exfoliate the skin. Plus papaya in masks is a traditional remedy for clear skin!) and shea butter. Shea butter is very easy to find, but it can sometimes be hard to find cold pressed, unrefined shea butter (I recommend cold pressed, unrefined shea butter because it is very different than a solvent/hexane extracted, highly refined shea. The textures are very different, and highly refined shea is stripped of its nutrients). Shea was one of the ingredients that helped clear my skin many years ago (12 or so years ago) when I had acne (I can't believe I've been learning about natural skin care for that long, and plants for far longer than that. I first became interested in botany/biology in high school!).
For more ingredients and products that are great for acne check out the post on my business blog (this post is in regards to Earth Alkemie products that are good for acne).
