Now I just scrub it with oatmeal!

It works amazingly. I have really pale skin and redness is crazy hard to get rid of for me, so I just wanted to give this tip.

I've completely stopped using cleanser at all except a cold cream to get rid of makeup.

My skin has become so much better! :O

Thanks for the tip!  Just a question:  do you have dry skin? 

Cool! I use a light olive oil soap regularly.. and brown sugar/veggie oil mix for exfoliating and then top up with moisturizer. I'm looking for a natural moisturizer to switch to when my current sample runs out.

I'll try the oatmeal sometime too.

Thanks!

I have incredibly dry skin that is very sensitive.

I also found this really cool mask:

Half a lemon's juice

3 tbsp honey

around 6 tbsp whole wheat flour

Mix it until it's stiff enough to put on your face and then leave it on for 30 minutes. Be careful of the hair though, it's hard to get out if it dries.

After you put it on, your skin is soooooo soft!

I use "Fresh's Soy Cream" for moisterizer but now I'm switching back to Sephora brand because that one worked well for me before.

Do you cook the oatmeal or do you just rub it on?

I just take about a 1/4 cup and put it in a large mixing bowl I put just a TINY bit of water. You don't want too much because then it doesn't work as an exfoliater. I would just kind of eye it and just make sure it's only enough to make it somewhat damp. The water will make it softer. I just squish it in my hands until it's moveable and then I just kind of dab it on.

I do this in the kitchen sink though because the oatmeal can clog drains. I just wash over the bowl and then rinse it out and then I use the bowl to splash water over my face to clean it off.

I can't use any type of "soap" on my skin, it is way too drying. I can get away with glycerine soap, but that's as close as I can get without a serious case of itching!

I like to make a sugar mask for my face. I use about half regular water and half rosewater to wet it. Then slather it on my face. I love it!

I just got a water filter for my shower this weekend, sooo awesome.  I took a shower last night using it for the first time and my skin and hair are super soft, not all dried out.  :)
