Your HG natural skincare?

[Momo]

Some people swear by Emu oil, or jojoba, squalene oil, camellia oil, etc. What is your holy grail natural skincare?

Mine is aloe gel. It is just aloe juice with a natural thickening agent, and natural preservatives. I use it for mixing a tinted moisturizer, getting rid of redness around my eye (after plucking and at outer corners. It works!), a quick refreshing moisturizer, a barrier between my MaMa lotion and skin, and even to press my powders!

how do you use it to press powders?

Tea tree oil, neat. It clears up my acne which is really half the battle won. I've tried emu oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba... I always end up crawling back to my TTO!

tea tree oil (mixed with coconut oil in my old bottle from TBS

). coconut oil also, it does wonder on my cheeks and under my eyes. i like to put some on my face after a green clay mask

Umm, drinking lots and lots of H2O, lol. Camellia oil, though not during summer's muggy weather.

Oh yeah water is almost a cure all!

I'm going to post a tut on pressing with aloe angellove

but it might be a while because I am leaving soon for a month

Hey Momo,

What brand of Aloe do you use and where do you purchase it?

 

[Momo]

I purchase my aloe from a health food grocery store and the brand is lily of the desert.

It's meant for consumption so it comes in a big bottle, but the ingredients are fine for topical use (I'd be scared if they let me eat something I can't put on my face! haha)

Jojoba oil, I've yet to try the Tea Tree oil.

first it was jojoba oil but now i rediscovered purol zalf (its dutch) its not totally natural i guess right? its like vaseline but only better. i put it on my face at night and i wake up with a baby soft face!! and its cheap! for more info: Purol Healing Skin Balm with Lanolin for $15.00 and no this does not cost $15, i cant believe these people dare to ask so much for something that cost $6 bucks or something

I like Aloe Vera gel, but I'm also using Coconut Oil and Jojoba Oil. I don't know that I'd call any of them my HG though.
