You might find
this helpful for your dandruff.
Light 100% cold pressed pure oils are wonderful to prevent and treat wrinkles. I use
jojoba mostly, as it is the oil closest to our own natural sebum and skin just soaks it up! It' s a wonderful moisturizer before make-up and a great night time treat. It's also very cost effective. One 4-ounce bottle costs about $7-8 and lasted me over a year, using it both on my face and also on the ends of my hair. I use 4-5 drops of this for my whole face.
Organic coconut oil is nice too, it's just a bit heavier and needs a little more time to soak in. I think I paid $8 for a PINT jar of this and you can also eat it or cook with it. To moisturize your whole face only takes a fingernail full of it. Just imagine the money you'll be saving, not to mention keeping the chemicals off your face.
This week I'm giving
grapeseed oil a try. My secret hair twin sent me some and it is wonderfully light, has no odor and I think it's probably in the middle between the
jojoba and the
coconut. I think I used 4 drops of this yesterday morning on my face. I'm going to try it on my hair later this afternoon.
I've been using natural products for over a year now and folks have told me I have 25 year old skin. I'll be 50 this month and my crow's feet are hardly noticable and my skin is soft and smooth. This is hard to acheive where I live now, as it is harsh and very windy , especially in winter time.
For cleansing, I use the
Oil Method Cleansing routine. I mix virgin olive oil and sweet almond oil, a 50/50 mix, and a few drops of peppermint EO. Two small squirts of this is enough to wash my face and neck. I know you'll doubt this, but this method is extremely helpful for people with oily/acne skin. You have to remember, oil cleans oil. Not to mention, it gets down inside the pores and softens the dirt and the blackheads/whiteheads just ooze out on their own. I wouldn't have believed it until I tried it. I noticed this happening about the third time I washed. Now, in the above link, the original oils used for this recipe are olive oil and castor oil. If you have dry, or delicate skin, castor oil is VERY cleansing and can dry your face. But it does the best job of erradicating blackheads!!!
