Let's not buy into Skincare and Body Care Price Tags and consumption

As a retired Esthetician, I feel skin and body care for women to be ridiculously expensive, ridiculously complicated, ridiculously time consuming and ridiculously unhealthy. 

I know, I really do, that I'm not the only one! We are and have been sold a bill of goods since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Maybe before that. Moving Pictures and Max Factor. No further back. Queens and Wealthy Aristocratic Ladies, Further back I'm sure. But somewhere in time someone sold us on the ideal that Artificial Ingredients are A Ok on the largest organ of the body! And if they are poisonous that's even better! Lol. 

The truth is in ancient times, ok Biblical times I'll say, ancient Jewish women used what God gave them, oils, seeds, plants, etc for their skin. 

Fact. 

It's Biblical we are to use that which is given to us. 

I believe this. And always have believed this. I was using Coconut Oil twenty years ago, Before that Vitamin E Oil, Olive Oil, etc. you get my drift. 

My first Spa related book I really enjoyed and learned so much about was Vidal and Beverly Sassoon's Book A year of beauty and health. I was 13 when I read this book. 

My parents weren't exactly granola chunky types. More the 70's polyester and everything processed types. 😂 In their defense they had my lil bro and I late in life.

But with Vidal and Beverly (my surrogate parents lol) I learned a lot about natural remedies and ideals on how to use nature for skin, hair and body from that book. It was a good start. 

I had a Organic Spa in my past I owned. I only did Organic and Natural Spa Treatments. 

Because of this belief. 

I wanted to share a few Organic Skincare Hacks that will save money, time, thought and your health! And give us more time to spend with Our familia and our Rich Catholic Faith!

Glossy and Healthy Hair Remedy

At Home Catholic Facial Treatment

-Nightly Natural Botox Serum Face Care

-Piece of Organic Natural Flannel

-Heating Pad

-headband

-(optional) Gua Sha facial tool

-Towel

-EWTN ROSARY OR Favorite YouTube Rosary on in the background 

In the palm of your hand add water and Face and Body Dewy Scrub Massage upward strokes, rinse, then apply  Refresh Toner with organic cotton pad. In clean hands 3 to four droppers of Nightly Natural Botox Serum Face Care. massage upward strokes. Can use Gua Sha facial tool along with massage upward strokes. 

Lay down, put towel over pillow case with TV on Rosary you enjoy. 

Put Flannel over the face, leave up bit for nose. 

Put heating pad on top of flannel. 

Now relax and in your mind do The Rosary along with the TV. 

When your finished Wash the Organic flannel and let air dry. Massage the rest of the Castor Oil into your face upward strokes. 

You can at this time add some Of the Oil left to the ends of your hair and lightly on the scalp. 

I use Face and Body Dewy Scrub And Refresh Toner in place of soap. I haven't used soap in many years. I personally don't care for it for my skin. 

That's it for skin and body care. 

I recommend buying Bonne Maman Preserves and Jams. They are super yummy, and I use the jars and lids for my skincare products I make. 

Plus the History is pretty wonderful about this company! 

Also two tablespoons of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil a day is wonderful for skin, nails and hair!

And Castor oil is absolutely fabulous. Many a book is written on the topic. My Mother knew. 

God has given us everything we need! So let's get to it and use it for our health, healing and wellness!
