It has been more than one month into my new toxin-less regimen. I had to make some adjustments to mine, experimenting on what works best on me. If there is one thing I learned from my cancer treatments, it is the fact that we are so the same, yet so different at the same time!
I thought it would be good to just post the ingredients and formula for those who might be interested. Here goes:
*
Face Cleanser (Oil Cleansing Method)
For Normal Skin: 1:1 ratio of castor oil and extra virgin olive oil.
For Dry Skin: 1 part castor oil to 3 parts extra virgin olive oil.
For Acne-prone Skin: 3 parts castor oil to 1 part extra virgin olive oil.
Method:
1) Splash water on face
2) Rub it in.
3) Steam your face. I use a hot, damp face towel and put it on my face for a few minutes.
4) Wipe off oil.
I had used the one castor oil to 3 parts EVOO, I will try the one to one ratio and see if I will get better results.
*
Hair Care: 'Poo-less Shampoo
1 tablespoon baking soda to one cup (8 oz) water
Soak hair with water
Squeeze a bit of soda mixture to scalp. Massage mixture to scalp and hair.
Rinse.
*
"Conditioner" (actually, detangler)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to one cup water
If hair is too oily, use less vinegar
May use lemon juice.
*
So, please let me know if any of these works with you - I might want to partner with you to make a financial empire of... baking soda and water shampoo? Ha-ha-ha! My statistics professor told us one day in class that study after study done on the different brand of shampoos showed that "a shampoo is a shampoo is a shampoo." His words. All shampoos are the same, but, he added, "Tell any woman that - no one will believe you." ???? I remember his words whenever I see shampoos sold at $17 and higher for an 8 oz bottle - dampens my shopping enthusiasm.
One thing is sure: I will keep trying. This is an adventure - I know that the best things are just around us, common and inexpensive, maybe even ignored, and the key is is finding it.
Wanna share what you have found?
Until next post!
