As you can see by my rating, I love this exfoliant. Miessence is proudly the worlds first internationally certified organic skin care range, and I’m quite proud that it’s an Australian (even Queensland!) brand.
I bought the garnet exfoliant out of a recommendation from a clear skin book by Karen Jessett from the UK. Karen had severe acne that she successfully treated by diet and natural skin care alone. It’s really quite amazing considering her dermatologist wanted to give her roaccutane. But that’s another post …
The main reason why I love this product is because it does a damn good job at exfoliating. It’s great on sensitive and acne prone skin, and does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry after I use it like some exfoliants can. Continue reading →
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately from readers of my blog and YouTube about the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM), so I thought I’d write a post of frequently asked questions which should help you a lot. If you’re still unsure about how to do the OCM after reading this article, or your questions are not covered, then write your query in the response box below.
I’d also LOVE to hear from any of you that have been using the OCM. I’ve had both good and bad experiences form using the oils in my skin care routine, so I’d really appreciate if you could share you experiences too.
I’ve had a lot of questions from readers of my blog and my YouTube subscribers about what I did to treat my acne. So I thought I’d write a detailed summary about what I did to help my skin. This information, or ‘clear skin plan’ is also what I believe to be the best way to start treating acne and problem skin for everyone - irrelevant of age, gender or where the acne is on your body.
Step 1: Stop trying to be perfect
There’s a lot of pressure from the media, from beauty and acne forums, from society …just from everywhere to be perfect and to have perfect skin. In reality only a very small population of people have ‘perfect’ skin, and those who do are most likely blessed with great skin genes so just never get pimples and blackheads in the first place. You can achieve clear skin, but it’s unlikely you will be able to achieve perfect skin. And you know what? It doesn’t matter. Continue reading →
If you’re wondering what on earth a ‘hygiene floatation fluid spray’ is - it’s a fancy name for body deodorant.
I had a break from using baking soda as a deodorant for a few days to try out Dr. Mist, and I have to say, this product is a lot better than I thought it would be. It did everything it promised on the bottle, it was fragrance free (and made me fragrance free!), didn’t stain my clothes, was colorless on my underarms and non-oily. I used it when I went rollerblading (the hottest and sweatiest I get) and it didn’t make me smell at all. I’d even say that this product works better than both the crystal deodorants I’ve used and the baking-soda.
The active ingredients in Dr. Mist are potassium sulphate and sodium chloride. Potassium sulphate is a naturally occurring mineral salt and sodium chloride is your common table salt which a lot of people use in their food. Both substances are perfectly safe to use on the skin, especially when they’re used in such a small dose as with Dr. Mist. Continue reading →
If you’ve never heard of this one you’ll be thinking ‘what the!!??’, but it’s true - toothpaste is a common treatment for acne and pimples. But does it work? Have a look at my video:
