Wow - so much activity here!
Still no-pooing, and it's going well. Hair is shiny and easier to manage (usually it's fine, limp, dry, frizzy and doesn't hold a style). It's darker though and I'm not jazzed about that. I am searching for a natural henna to boost my highlights. Natural hair lighteners, anyone? I'm a brunette with red highlights. I used to be a strawberry blonde...*sigh*
Capo, that sux about the oiliness, were you brushing the oils through your hair? I saw a website once that gave recipes for all sorts of hair treatments...if I can find it again, I'll post it here.
I got my Pascalite clay in the mail, woo hoo! I use the powder mixed with water as a face mask - wow. No blackheads afterwards. It gets extremely tight as it dries, and my face was pink after, but so super-smooth! I also have been brushing my teeth with the powder, dipping my wet brush in and using natural toothpaste with it, and for the first time in ages my gums aren't bleeding. I have one spot that bleeds - I tested, and when I don't use the clay I bleed. When I do, no bleeding.
I'm using the soap as well and really like it - ingredients are clay, lard, soy oil, coconut oil, lye and rosemary oil.
My lips are healing - I am using coconut oil on them, but I have to say that Vaseline works best, mainly bc my lips are peeling and if I Vaseline them, I can't pick. I am a horrible lip-picker.
Natural makeup...Burt's Bees?
