Re: FEEDING your skin

[Guest guest]

-

I put on CO immediately after I bathe and if I just wait for a few

minutes my skin seems to soak it right up. I never have grease issues

with my clothes. But I have pretty dry skin. Maybe if you are still

having issues with it you could do it right before bed and have a

nightgown/nightclothes that you wear that you don't mind getting

greasy? Maybe someone else will have better insights on that issue.

As far as antiperspirant goes I found there there are too big thigns

to this. 1. Don't wear any synthetic materials and 2. You have to be

eating a really REALLY good diet. I don't stink at all when we are

eating at home but if we " cheat " and go to a restaurant I stink for a

week afterwords. This is really diet related in my opinion. I hope

this helps!

Hi ,

I had the same trouble you're having?switching deodorants but I finally found

Lavender Deodorant Stick which has worked GREAT for me (I got it at Whole

Foods but I bet the co-ops would have it). I can " power mall walk " with? my 2

year-old?and make it through the whole day without having to wash up and

reapply?(and I, like you, have an extremely sensitive nose!).?

No aluminum, paraben-free, and no animal by-products or testing.

Good luck!

I use my oil based lotions at night, just before I go to bed.

For deodorant, I use one of those balls made of (I think) mineral

salts. You get it wet and then rub it on. I really like it and it

lasts forever. I got mine at Dan & Becky's Market in Cokato, but I bet

it's available at any of the health food stores in the cities.

Hi ,

I can't speak to your q #1. Hopefully someone else can.

But as to evil antiperspirant, the only thing that suppresses perspiration

is aluminum salts. There are products that say " does not contain aluminum

chlorhydrate " . What those products do contain is other aluminum salts. So the

manufacturer is lying by omission. If the product says alum, that is also

aluminum.

Soooo......what to do?

Are there essential oils that you enjoy? Use one after a shower, just a dab

a drop under each arm. Rub the oil into your pits. I prefer Young Living

brand of essential oils, I use lavender oil--it apparently has become my

signature, from comments by friends recently.

If people stink, it is because the person is under high stress, emotional

stress especially. Or they are eating the wrong things and their body is not

able to detox properly so they detox through perspiration.

Blessings,

Okay wise foodies. I have 2 serious questions for you...

1. How do you keep from getting your clothes all greasy when using CO

or shea butter? Good skin care products tend to be cost prohibitive

for our family's needs, but the good fats are so staining.

2. How do you give up the evil antiperspirant deodorant? It is my last

bad thing! I have tried and have smelled those who have tried many a

product to no avail. I have a nose like a hound and can pick natural

deodorant users out of a crowd! And having 3 little ones does not lend

itself to frequent showering.

And being vegan certainly does not make you stink less!!! I know a few

and they stink just as bad as the good animal product consumers.

Thanks,

Lynn,

Those mineral salts balls DO contain aluminum. Which is why they work to

control perspiration. Only aluminum will do that.

See my previous email for other suggestions on dealing with underarm scent

issues.

Interesting idea of essential oils beth. But I am so laughing my

butt off right now. Stress?? Trying to juggle my 3 little blessings

and meet their needs all at the same time? Nope. No stress here.

As for the food issue, between the food allowed on the GAPS diet and

what my baby can tolerate me eating, there isn't much left eat. So

what are the " wrong foods " you are referring too?

For skin care, I would suggest picking up some all natural products

from the warehouse- look for " Jozlyn's Remedies " . They are absorbed

pretty well and leave your skin with a beautiful luminous shine that

doesn't stay greesy.

When you buy a truly all natural skin care product that moisturizes

correctly, you end up using less in the long run which will save you

more money through natural products seem a bit more expensive.

(Don't be fooled by products that claim to be all natural that really

aren't- research ALL ingredients!).

This is because certain oils (like mineral oil) and chemicals and

fragrances cause the skin extra hard work and damage as it is

absorbed. What happens then is in the process of trying to help your

skin (which it may appear right away), you are actually damaging

deeper cells. When those cells come to surface (epidermal layer),

the cells don't function the same as if they were healthy and you

have more skin issues and have to apply more " moisturizing

products " . Great for the market- bad for you!

When you use something truly natural that " feeds " the cells instead

of working them to distortion, is in time your skin becomes more able

to function like it should- because it's HEALTHY. Skin naturally

moisturizes itself- it makes it's own oil called sebum. Which allows

the need for LESS moisturizers to be applied when skin is healthy.

Especially when you use good quality water and eat the " right " fats.

Whith Jozlyn's Remedies, you get the advantage of a nicely absorbed

moisturiser that is REALLY, TRULY natural (remember you don't have to

use as much either because there are NO FILLERS- it's concentrated!),

plus the advantage of quality herbal essenatials (NO chemical

fragrances!), which also gives you any healing properties of the

herbals. Great combination!

As far as deodorant- many people just use a bit of vinegar (don't do

it after shaving though!) to neutralize odors. Sage works nicely,

and there are other herbs that can help too.

With many people, once they quit de-o they STINK for quite awhile as

the body does what it's supposed to DO there- detoxify and perspire.

Then it tends to even out with much LESS odor. It's like the body it

saying " Ahhh- now I can get rid of the junk! " and then onces it's

allowed to do its job, it's slow and steady and not too stinky unless

you eat fast food or something.

The thing with the salt/alum/crystal antipersperants is that it still

is trying to stop the sweat glands from sweating. Just a thought.

Everyone is different so you'll have to see what works for you.

type-o's!
