Washing one's face with beauty soap
A few years ago, a friend gave me a sample of a Japanese beauty soap made with volcanic ash. It was so heavily perfumed and harsh that I broke out in hives all over my face. I'd love to find a great, gentle, vintage-y bar soap, but I admit after that fiasco, I'm a bit gun shy. Currently I'm... -

I'm having really good luck with the Sally's generic Biolage shampoo/moisturizing balm. It doesn't smell as good as the real deal, but works just as well. I paid $5.99 versus $16 for the name brand. Johnson's head to toe wash works great as a gentle face cleanser, bubble bath, and brush... -

Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
I had this issue too. I took out the castor oil completely and only did OCM at night. That seemed to equalize things. I've stuck to using cold cream on my eyes to get off stubborn mascara stains. The other night, I was having one of my mad scientist moments and decided to slather my feet in... -

Oil Cleansing Method
I did this too. I also picked up one of those pink hospital basins from a thrift store. I put it under the sink and just toss the wet washcloths in after each use. Every saturday morning I fill the basin with hot water, a little detergent and baking soda, letting the cloths soak for a while... -

Oil Cleansing Method
That's what I love!! I don't have to pile a bunch of make up on anymore. THANKS Josephine! I'll give them a try, and definitely mix up a batch of your scar blend. -

Oil Cleansing Method
Miss Josephine, which brand/strength of rose hip oil are you using? I'd love to try some after my oil cleanse to fade on old acne marks. I'm confused over which is more suitable; rose hip oil, or rose hip seed oil?[huh] -

Lead in Lipstick!
This topic is going on over at SuicideGirls as well, and rather than post a link and violate any of FL's rules, I thought I'd just add a particular post that was interesting. Take it for what it's worth, just another person's opinion. First of all, the organization who released this... -

Bath Rite-Article from 1944 Finesse
I tried this last night, but with Johnson's Lavendar & Chamomille baby powder! (its mainly cornstarch anyways) It was quiet lovely, leaving my skin very soft...not to mention, the stuff smells just heavenly!:o -

Oil Cleansing Method
Gosh, the combinations are endless. You could do 50/50 mixes of any of the oils and castor oil. That would be a good way to see how your skin reacts to each individual oil. (Personally, I'd be pretty sparing with the avocado oil as it will be very emollient and might be a little heavy for the... -

Oil Cleansing Method
I'd try to start off simple. The castor oil is supposed to be what really yanks things out of your pores, but it can be extremely drying. That should make up 50% or less of your mix. Is your skin oily/combo or dry? -

Oil Cleansing Method
Hmmmm you know that's a great question!!! My skin has been so calm since doing this that I haven't worn any foundation since I've started. The jojoba is super light and soaks right in without any residue, but I've no idea what foundation would do on top of that. Tonight I'll put some on... -

Oil Cleansing Method
Kitty, one great thing about OCM is that you can use a tiny bit of the oil to moisturize if you experience any dryness. That saves you from having to purchase a second product. Viva la multi-taskers! When I started out I was cleansing twice a day and my forehead got a little flakey. I... -

Belladona?
Not to mention, it can be painful to have your pupils dilated. There's nothing to regulate the amount of light going into your eye when your pupils aren't contracting. Last time I had it done, I walked outside without my sunglasses on and it was not a pleasant experience. :eek: -

Oil Cleansing Method
Keeping in mind that I got my supplies at Whole Foods, I probably spent more than I could have. I used some EVOO that we already had at home. I believe I paid about $6 for that at Wild Oats. Castor Oil $3 for 2 oz(?) Jojoba $10 for 6 oz Grapeseed oil $6 for 16 oz Glass bottle $.99... -

Oil Cleansing Method
The link that GoldLeaf posted from the long hair community is really informative, and has many different mixtures listed by their users. What I do know is that Grapeseed and Jojoba are the lighter oils that probably work best on oily/combo skin. I started out with 50/50 grapeseed and castor... -

Oil Cleansing Method
Here's what I've been doing: I picked up a little glass bottle at Cost Plus, and purchased all of my oils at Whole Foods. I sterlized the bottle and filled it halfway with Grapeseed Oil (since I have combo skin that prone to oiliness) I then added: 1/4 Castor Oil 1/8 EVOO 1/8 Jojoba...
