natural skin care is the best!!!

it seems that my skin has always been dry. when i was in my early twenties i took a shower twice a day and after each shower i would put lotion over my entire body. still my skin became dry.
as the years went on i found out about oil. when i would put body oil on after my shower - first, it was easier to apply and could be applied when still damp and secondly my skin seem to stay moisturized longer!!

now i use virgin coconut oil for all my moisturizing. for my body i first take my bath and afterwards while i am still damp - just rub it all over and then dry off.
for my face - pretty much the same thing.

also, i make a scrub with brown sugar and virgin coconut oil and use this about every other day on my face. much less on my body - but it works really well - i am just too lazy to clean out the bath-tub afterwards.

the oil cleansing method i have already described also works really well on your body. you can do this several ways. one way is to rub a small amount of oil all over your body before you get into the bath. then soak for a while and scrub it all off with a cloth. or you can rub the brown sugar scrub all over before you get into the bath and soak and then rub it off. some people use soap - i don't - but if you want you can.

next time i will talk about the wonders of amla.
