We can't all have awesome skin all the time. There are at least a few days out of each month when my skin takes to misbehaving. Over the years, I've developed a pretty effective regimen for whipping my skin back into shape that just might work as well for you as it has for me. I've compiled a list of dos and don'ts to share; feel free to bookmark it and bring it out the next time you're stuck with a pesky blemish or three! Do: Moisturize just as frequently and cleanse just as sparingly as you would otherwise (paraben-free moisturizers and...

As of late, my skin hasn't been looking its best. I'm sure it's due to some combination of the heat (which means my face is pretty much constantly sweating) and the time of month it happens to be, but I've been more concerned with fixing the problem than pinpointing the cause. I can easily drive myself crazy when trying to determine whether or not a (usually harmless) change in my routine is to blame. Instead of stressing out about a tiny breakout and overall redness, I found a...

With my approaching period, I've been feeling not quite myself lately. I've been eating everything in sight without a second thought. My skin and my hair haven't been behaving themselves (My clay and eggs mask had positive but fleeting results), and after walking Clem and Winston every day this week, my feet are sore and actually pretty smelly (It happens to the best of us). One night this week, in an attempt to make myself look and feel less haggard, I made time for a

Remember my post about The Daily Green a while back? Well, I finally got around to making a modified version of the clay and eggs mask that I mentioned. Instead of using white clay (also known as Kaolin), I used two tablespoons of my nearly empty jar of Indian Healing Clay*. Since I didn't have it and wasn't sure where to buy it, corn flour was not used in the making of this mask either. As suggested, I did add one egg white...

I just rediscovered The Daily Green, and their living green section has so many useful tips and homemade health and beauty recipes to offer. It's a treasure trove! One of my first discoveries on The Daily Green was a list of 5 Homemade Skin Care Recipes from The Green Beauty Guide (which is a book that I clearly need to own). Thoughts: Number one on the list is an oatmeal and onion puree face mask. I've never even considered using onion in a face mask! I wonder if the benefits would outweigh the smelliness of an...

The dry patch of skin that had appeared on my upper lip (as a result of me blowing my nose constantly while I had a cold) completely disappeared. My grandmother commented on how pretty our skin looked the following day. We used two yard eggs and...

photo credit: srqpix Total Beauty is a great place to go for reviews of popular natural health and beauty product brands, but I tend to look elsewhere for skincare advice and the like, since they don't exactly specialize in natural products. For example, in the list that I'm going to tell you guys about, they link to both Aveeno and Lush products as store-bought alternatives. Neither of those brands...
