Is it raw honey? do follow up with coconut oil, lanolin or anything like that?

Yes raw honey. I don’t use any oils on my skin anymore, and my skin is calmer for it, not dry or oily and the tone is even, and not ruddy anymore. I do on occasion use this cleanser, and swear by it for those with acne. Washing one’s face everyday, and twice a day is too much.

Wow finally a recall the affects me. I have old can of a dry shampoo on the list….

“A voluntary product recall was announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Unilever United States is voluntarily recalling select lot codes of dry shampoo products produced prior to October 2021 from Dove, Nexxus, Suave, TIGI (Rockaholic and Bed Head), and TRESemmé due to potentially elevated levels of benzene.

Cascara - benefits beyond the bowels

Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus Purshiana) was traditionally used by American Indians as a laxative. Cascara is unlike other more common laxatives in that it energises the smooth muscles of the small intestine and bowel to contract, rather than irritating them, and it provides other impressive...

@Rinse & rePeat I made a luscious face cream the other day:

*10 gms raw cocoa butter (use the Life Giving Store one.
*23 gms raw shea butter - wanted to use 20 but put a wee bit more
*70 gms raw Mango butter
*Orange essential oil and peppermint essential oil (just a tiny amount) - use any essential oil you want.

Melted it all on low in a glass bowl sitting on top of the saucepan with water - low and slow until melted. Added in the essential oils - stirred and poured into jars - two small ones and let sit on the counter until they became solid again.

I put it on my face and my skin just drank it in and sort of said; “thank you thank you!” The cream is not greasy. It really is lovely. It is the best one I have ever made. That mango butter rocks it!

She has since had more Botox injected into the drooping eye to fix the condition

“In 2015, researchers from the University of Queensland found that Botox might not stay where it's injected, as Science Daily noted. Researchers found that Botox might be able to move and be transported into your central nervous system. More research on this is definitely needed because Botox is a neurotoxin“

OldIrenaeus posted this video to make your own colloidal copper for skin care and hair


View: https://youtu.be/z5NzCMGy8FM



“There are many health claims for what colloidal copper can do.

Claimed benefits of colloidal copper include:

treats wounds, infections, and burns
supports cardiovascular health
prevents osteoporosis
helps the nervous system function
acts as an antioxidant that supports human immunity
stimulates collagen and elastin
reduces wrinkles, discoloration, and age-related skin conditions
Some studies do show that copper is good for skin as a basic nutrient:

A 2014 review referenced many studies connecting copper to great skin health. This includes wrinkle reduction, better elasticity, and healing wounds and skin issues, like athlete’s foot.
The review also referenced a 2009 study as still being valid for copper and skin. In this study, copper reduced the risks of bacterial and fungal infections in diabetics. It also helped chronic ulcers.
A 2015 study further found that copper dressings could increase collagen levels in skin. However, this study was performed on animals. This study may support using copper for youthful skin appearance and proper wound-healing ability.”

Colloidal Copper: Benefits, Uses, and Side Effects

Colloidal copper is a popular health supplement. It’s similar to colloidal silver, which is also widely used for wellness and medical purposes.

“Macadamia nuts are also one of the few sources of palmitoleic acid. This is an omega-7 fatty acid that researchers are beginning to discover new properties and benefits of.

The nutrients found in macadamia nuts have been found to support many promising health benefits.

1. Improves Skin Elasticity and Appearance​

Research has shown that palmitoleic acid, the omega-7 fatty acids found in macadamia nuts, sea buckthorn oil, and avocado oil may promote skin, nail, and hair health.

They do so by protecting against oxidative damage, which is one of the main culprits of skin aging, by encouraging and evoking new skin cell development.

Some research has shown this rare fatty acid may improve the body's synthesis of elastin and collagen, which are proteins that keep your skin young, strong, and reduce the appearance and onset of wrinkles [*].”

The Top 5 Health Benefits of Macadamia Nuts (Backed By Research)

Loaded with micronutrients and minerals like manganese, vitamin A, a rare omega-7 fatty acid, research suggests that the health benefits of macadamia nuts make them possibly the healthiest nut in the world.

I have read that an aloe Vera plant has to be many years old, 7+ years, to have any benefits. My plant is 50+ years old. I am gonna do some experimenting in my skin with it….


“In 2015 researchTrusted Source, scientists gave people an extract of aloe vera gel called Aloe sterols to take orally.

After 8 weeks, the researchers noticed that in the participants who took the aloe vera sterols:

• there was better hydration in the skin of their arm
• their wrinkles were less deep
• their levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen almost doubled

The researchers conclude that aloe contributes to the growth of cells that benefit the skin.

People can use products containing aloe as a topical cream or gel or an oral supplement.”

I used the fresh aloe Vera on my face last night, after having soaked it overnight to get get the yellow out of it, and liked what I saw. I can see “feeding” my skin this every day having a positive impact on my skin. I am adding it to my bedtime routine. I really like the honey mask too, but the lightening effect keeps me from doing it as often I would like. I am gonna add in the neck “sit ups” today!
