Please recommend your favorite...

1) Wool dryer balls

2) essential oil combo

3) eco friendly skin care for sensitive, blemishy skin

4) cloth paper towels

Thanks!

These are my next small steps and y'all have saved me a lot of trial and error so far!

 

Re: Please recommend your favorite...

  • 2) Peppermint and Lavender and Jasmine with pretty much anything!

    3) Burt's Bees or OCM

    4) I make my own.  Check out my blog in about 2 days to see my details on how to make them and also where to go to buy them.  I'm not home otherwise I would have written it already.

  • 2.  My most recent favorite is peppermint and cocoa...it smells like peppermint patties. 

    3.  I wash with raw honey and moisturize with avacado or jojoba oil.  I tried a new skin care regime and broke out pretty badly in one area.  I recently started mixing a drop of lavender and a drop of tea tree oils in my and and dabbing them on blemishes.  The tea tree is supposed to help dry them up and the lavender keeps it from getting too dry and irritated.  I just started a few days ago but my skin is already looking better.

    4.  I use microfiber, which I like.  I might change to flannel and make my own.

  • 1. My BFF got mine for me. The seller was horribly slow, so no recommendation there

    2. We have tea tree, sweet orange, bergamot, and a eucalyptus blend. Save for TTO, which I think is a "must", I would just go and sniff and decide what you like best.

    3. Sweet almond oil or EVOO is what I use, but I am sensitive/dry

    4. Cut up old T-shirts

  • 1. Dryer balls - ordered these from etsy and I LOVE THEM. http://www.etsy.com/shop/romeo2juliet

    2. Haven't made it that far yet with making my own stuff - i buy most stuff from etsy.

    3. Burts bees is good for my sensitive skin, although I do have to alternate as I am still getting blemishes, although that could be the PG hormones too.

    4. I just use a dish towel/rags for cleaning.  For napkins I use cloth napkins.

I am trying Dr. B's. have tried various Burts Bees. also tried this acne bar and liked it but it got a little drying over time, might try using it just once a day instead, you can get a free mini sample of most of their stuff: http://www.bestbathstore.com/acne-treatment/acne-facial-bar/
