Lordy. So I have hair loss issues and extraordinarily oily skin. Is it safe to say the same hormonal imbalance is responsible for both conditions? And if antiandrogenic drugs/supplements treat these c...

Hi Gingergirl, yep, I've mostly been using my own cleanser or just honey and then this as my moisturiser. I'd use my own lotion but this one has treatment ingredients and is lighter too, so suitable f...

Keratin, is that stuff that can sometimes build up in body piercing holes?

Update: Awesome moisturiser - FOUND! *celebrates* Finally...I think I know where I had been going wrong. Oils! I had never questioned oils until while I on the search for the perfect and most pure ...

I understand your pain. I too am forever conscious of how oily my skin is. Forever conscious because it is forever oily. Even IMMEDIATELY after I wash it is oily/shiny. It's embarrassing because peopl...

**Cannot** believe I went back to shaving with a razor. Stupid, stupid decision. So angry right now. I'm having a break out like NEVER before and ONLY where I shave. I was going so well there for a wh...

Not yet a replacement, Ginger, but I'm excited about the possibilities. All the stuff I've been making are basically variants/mixtures of the same thing. It's only the emulsifier thats changed things....

Oh cool! That recipe sounds kinda wicked Thats a good suggestion with the fruit acids too, I'm going to have to do trialling me thinks and just see how it goes, erring on the side or caution and trac...

Well yeah, the yoghurt is great at what it does...it just the smell I can't get around. The honey only disguises it so much and only while it on. And strangely I find it to be a little too drying to u...

^ Thanks Gingergirl. Will do! The next thing I'm considering using for cleansing is almond or oat milk/meal. What do you think? The mad science continues...lol

Ok, this is what I'm trying...my new cleanser: a mixture of honey, grapeseed oil and white tea. That's it, just those three ingredients. And no lotion afterwards. I'm going to see how the small amoun...

Oh ok, thanks, you're very helpful Gingergirl Yes, it's a light, waterbased cream that can be used as a lotion, shaving aid, moisturizer. It's an all purpose product so to speak. I like the idea of...

^ yes, that is quite an idea. I have thought of it myself but usually as a treatment up until now. Personally, would you regard it as suitable for daily, ongoing use? Do you think there could be any r...

I promised I'd give myself about 2 months at least to see how things went. I'm currently cleansing my face with Manuka Honey morning and night and as we speak I have about 3 live pimples.   Cl...

Thanks TM, haha, you are right and yes, indeed I do know the downfalls of switching products too often. I am impatient and idealistic... so not a good combination. And I have sensitive/reactive skin t...

Thanks guys/gals for your replies. Still at my wits end trying to find the ideal routine to settle on. I keep buying products, testing them, then abandoning them...and the search starts all over aga...

Thanks greengables, I'm just in a world of confusion made worse by a pesky perfectionist trait.

Just a quick hypothetical question for anyone who reads this: If you were to use this cream cleanser (below), would you personally feel the need to moisturise after? The are plenty of emollients in it...

Yes, bicarb soda = NEVER again. Ever.

I worry about the alcohol in witch hazel. I've heard it's a naturally produced by-product distillation but still...Does anyone know more about this form of alcohol and/or it's effect on skin?

Skin is disgusting today. More blackheads all the time....in the oddest places! Grr grr grr! I resent the fact that my skin is worse than when I was a teenager. How dare it..

I tried this. With white tea. As a spritz (same effect but gentler as no contact between hands and face). Works awesome on me to tone and mattify.

Fark....I just shaved. I'd be growing a beard for months, only keeping it trimmed. Damn, not happy with what I uncovered. Really devastated actually. Don't know whay to do now, grow it back and never ...
