Chemical free Skin! (and giveaway details!)

I want to share about how my skin has gotten so much better by switching to non-commercial skin products. I was so surprised at how quickly things can clear up.

Here are the things I have changed:

• Changed from acne soap (Neutrogena) to using black soap on face
• Changed from using regular body wash to using black soap on body
• Changed from using regular lotion to using coconut oil on face and body
• Changed from using traditional laundry detergent to chemical-free detergent (and may go to making my own soon)

Here are the results I have had:

• With the black soap, I am almost never worrying about my face being too oily. Instead it feels healthy and has a glow to it. Using the coconut oil as I need it also cuts down on the redness of my face. I used to have bad cystic acne and since I have changed my diet and face routine, all I have are a few small red spots sometimes. And my face glows!
• I used to have really yucky looking rashes on my arms that I tried everything to get rid of with no success. The day after I started the black soap it was noticeably improved, and as I keep going with the coconut oil as well, the redness and bumps are all but gone. My skin just feels so healthy. Amazing!
•  Not to get personal, but I used to have problems "down there" with odor and itching. That has improved drastically since I have begun using the chemical-free detergent and also not using dryer sheets for underwear and towels.

I plan to continue to reduce the chemicals I expose to my body. My next project is to try making my own detergent using a recipe a friend gave to me (which includes goat milk soap). I will post about that once I try it. I also plan to try something new with my hair, possibly an organic shampoo or something, but I will let you know what I find.

Now, I urge you try this, especially if you have problems with your skin. And below I am partnering with Amazon to show you which types of products I am using. If you do give it a try, please comment below and let me know how it goes!

And...drumroll...

Tomorrow at 8:00 AM, I will be posting details about a giveaway I am having to celebrate 1 year of blogging and 3000 pageviews!!! Thank you all and stay tuned!

Here's the black soap:

Of course, you can use any brand, but these are the ones I have been using. Happy and beautiful faces!
