@mark k: Hello Mark, thanks for your comment and for the product recommendation. I agree with you that less is more and if we can double up one product as multi-use that is great.
You might have read previously that I have used clay before - you can use that on face, body and hair and it does away with the need for conditioner or moisturisers.
It sounds like you have a great regime there and gorgeous skin!

I use only one conditioner - the Peppermint Herbal Conditioner from Made from Earth. I dont need to use anything else - I apply the conditioner and let it sit on my hair while I shower. After that I comb out my hair and rinse, voila I’m done and my hair is soft and moisterized. You can find the company at http://www.madefromearth.com/

I am concerned about parabens and chemicals so I use the Made from Earth Peppermint conditioner as a substitute for many things in the shower. I use this instead of shaving creams always, my legs, and arm pits are grateful. I am big on exfoliating and in winter after I shower, I add baking soda to the Made from Earth conditioner and apply it all over my body in a circular motion (paying attention to elbows, knees, hands, and feet) then do my final rinse. I do this once a week and I follow with shea butter or Extra Virgin Olive oil and this keeps my extra dry winter skin super soft, without chemicals and parabens. And it smells great, so no need for body sprays afterwards.

Hope this helps.

Love these! I absolutely adore mixing up my own beauty products too. It is so comforting to really know what is in something that you are putting all over your children or yourself. Thanks for the recipes!

Hi McGreenGal; thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I’m glad you like the simple recipes. I love taking the things mother nature provides, which are often much more effective than expensive things in plastic bottles!

I love the Green StudentU site - is that your own site?

These are some great recipes! They certainly beat spending money on products that don’t work.
