I swear by this stuff and use it every day for my face AND body. Comes in great scents and has really improved my skin. You can get a huge 16 oz bottle at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods for like 10 bucks and it lasts forever.


Oh, yes!!! I use this for my body. It's so cheap and works very well. Also, if you read everything it says on the label you start to feel like you're entering an alternate reality.

I need to check this out!


Fresh Farmacy is a miracle worker! But it can dry you out if used frequently! At least I was...

I like to mix concealer with moisturizer to make my own tinted moisturizer. It evens out my skin tone without feeling all make-upy. I also use baby oil on a cotton ball to remove heavy eye makeup. It's a whole lot cheaper than eye makeup remover!

There are a lot of good drug store moisturizers! I would take a look at what Aveeno offers because I'm sure they'd have something to fit your needs. I love all aveeno products because my skin is DRRYYYYYYY.

It sure does!! I use the peppermint because I like the smell but I think the Tea Tree one works best. My friend Jordyn introduced me to it and it's all we used while at Bonnaroo. I came back and got so many compliments on how amazing my skin looked.

For moisturizers, I swear by Say Yes to Carrots, but I don't know if that's too expensive for you or not (sell it at Walgreens but it is all natural so obviously a little more pricey). If I don't know what to buy, I usually go with Neutrogena products because they have never failed me in the past. I'd assume they have a reasonably priced moisturizer.

Omg I read the bottle alll the time and I still feel like there are new things to read everday! This guy was s--t crazy but man did he know how to make soap.

I use the Say Yes to Tomatoes moisturizer and it has changed my life. I NEVER used to use moisturizer and I basically live in this stuff. It is a little expensive, I think maybe like 12 dollars or something like that? But it makes your face smell just faintly of a sweet tomato, which I find super appealing. I also might be a weirdo, but whatever.
...I wish and wish and wish.

I know I'm private, but I'll accept you I swear! You only have to request it.. *

Not a weirdo!! I find the scent super great as well. It is a life changer.

I currently use an Aveeno face wash for sensitive skin. I think I'll try that Dr. Bronner's stuff and check out some Aveeno moisturizer because I know that their stuff works for me.
And I do not want to be a rose.
I do not wish to be pale pink,
but flower scarlet, flower gold.
And have no thorns to distance me,

but be bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.

Let me know what you think about Dr. Bronner's! You can literally feel to the touch how clean your face is afterwards.
