Hey! I am a week into using ACV with water as a toner (to replace my Acanya) and so far, i like it. Still breaking out (wasn't expecting a miracle) but complexion and skin texture is so much better.

Now i am ready for phase two, replacing my face wash and moisturizer.

FACE WASH:

I am not ready to do OCM or i should say i am not brave enough to do it ) What are my choices? What has worked for other people who still have active acne (doesn't make it worst).

How do i get the germs, dirt off? Can i make an ACV wash (as ACV kills bacteria?)

MOISTURIZERS:

As for moisturizers, jojoba oil seems to be highly recommended but there is not consensus on using it. Some people praise it, others break out bad from it.


I bought an aloe vera plant and was planning on using aloe as a moisturizer but here it can be drying. Any feedback on that?

All suggestions will be welcomed!

Have you tried dr bronner's soap?

No, i am looking for something all natural that i can make myself. I figure if i'm going to do natural, i may as well do 100% right )

Glycerin?

I used to wash my face with standard body wash lotion from the supermarket and use this moisturiser I thought was good. However I came across this thread: http://www.acne.org/...d-easy-to-make/ and started using this.

Since using it I haven't had to use a moisturiser, even after shaving. So I use cotton pads and this mix to clean my face, then I go over it again with a new pad and dab more of the mix on. When it dries, my face is not dry and I don't need a moisturiser.

Hope this helps
