Trying to get toxins out of my life is a very big challenge.  I'm thinking where should I start?   I grabbed  one of my beauty products that I use on my face and looked at what was in it.  I didn't understand half of the ingredients.  So this is where I start.  
I did some searching and came up with this....


Use plain yogurt on your face as a face wash.  It will work for all skin types to cleanse, disinfect pores, prevent acne, moisturize skin and rejuvenate  its texture.  I like to add lemon to the yogurt to help remove dead cells and also helps with acne. You leave this on for about 5 min. then rinse.  But if you have a milk allergy you might want to look into this before you try it!!  
Also, apple cider vinegar applied to your face with a cotton ball works great as a face wash and drying up acne. 


You may also want to try a baking soda mask. Here is what you do:
Mix 1 tsp baking soda with 1-2 tsp of water, milk or yogurt to make a thick paste.  Apply it to your face and leave it on for 10-15 min.  Wash off with warm water.  I do this every 3 days.  It leaves my skin so soft.  This also helps get rid of dead skin cells and add a glow to your skin.  To help with acne you can add some lemon juice to this mixture.


I have been using these 3 recipes for about 3 weeks now. I do this once in the morning and once at night. Then once at night (before the yogurt wash) I use the apple cider vinegar.  When I stopped using store bought products and started using the recipes above, my face started to break out in acne.  What I believe is due to not using all the chemicals.  I was not liking this at all but decided to stick with it so my skin could get use to the new change with no chemicals.  I'm so glad I did.  My skin has never been so soft.  I'm still treating my acne, but with these recipes it is clearing up nicely.
I love that this is a very cheap way to start to push chemicals out of my life!!!  Bye bye expensive facial products!

Men, Don't be afraid to try this too.  You will love how soft your skin gets!!



Salute to living healthier!!
