I’m going to be honest with you all. I’ve never been much for washing my face.
I remember looking in awe at my friends’ collections of pore cleansers, pore scrubs, oil strips, black-head strips, anti-wrinkle creams, under-eye creams, firming creams, facial lotions, facial soap, toners, and make-up removers, and thinking, why would I rub all this froo-froo stuff on my face to make it look the same as it did 5 minutes ago?
So when I say I found something that actually makes my skin GLOW, I’m not messing around. Now rest assured that I’ve come a long way since then, and I do have a routine of keeping these baby cheeks clean, but there is some logic in my aversion to all these fansy-pants cleansers, scrubs, micro-derma-whatevers.
Your skin is your largest organ and our biggest immune system defense barrier. It is going to absorb anything that you put on it, including cleansers and lotions.
Or something NATURAL? Ding ding ding ding ding!So what shall we put on our skin? Some diethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Perhaps some other hormone-disrupting, carcinogenic, depression-inducing, or formaldehyde-releasing ingredients? Ooh, yes, please rub this all over my body.
My latest favorite is a mud mask, called Indian Healing Clay.
Clay has been used for centuries to filter water, and soak up impurities and toxins, so why not soak up all those impurities from thine face!?
And the only ingredient is, Natural Calcium Bentonite (Green) Clay!
So if you’re one of those delicate flowers with sensitive skin, you don’t have to worry about all those mysterious potential irritants you find in other cleansers.
You just mix the powdered clay with a bit of water, or for an extra kick, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (I like Bragg’s).
It also has been used for centuries, to stimulate circulation and absorb, and eliminate toxins.
Slather it on, let it dry a bit, rinse it off, and voila! Your face will be soft as a baby’s butt!!!
