I guess that my favorite natural skincare product would have to be Dickinson’s Witch Hazel. It cleans and purifies without overdrying.
Suki is one of my favorite natural skin care brand. Their Pure Facial Moisture is definitely my HG. Great for people with acne.
I like to use Aubrey Organics Amino Derm Gel Clear Skin Complex on my t-zone after washing my face in the morning.
Although it’s not a skin care product, one of my favourites is the Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Living in Canada, the harsh winters chap my lips really badly and nothing works as well as Burts on my lips. The best part is the refreshing minty feel after you put it on.
My Favourite all time use product would be
Aloe Vera Gel. I use the Aloe Vera Plant Gel for everything, natural and somewhat organic as well. The plant itself is great for cleaning the air in your own home so i’ve read in a magazine. The gel i use it for cuts n scrapes i or my family gets. I also use straight on as a hair gel it doesn’t have any smell and it makes my hair look nice. I also dab a bit on any pimples i get to lessen the redness and reduce healing time for them. It’s also great for sunburns and after the sun product. #1 thing what Ilove about my Aloe Vera Plant is that after i cut a piece off or take half a leaf off is that it reproduces itself over and over again. So meaning this Aloe Vera plant will keep on growing everytime i take a piece off. How good is that? I absolutely love this plant and its great for all around use.
My favorite would be jojoba oil. It makes my skin soft.
Hi guys,
I am looking forward to trying an all natural caribbean cleanser from the spa and brand Cher-Mere.Its so cool that I discovered the advertisement for this product because 1, its natural and 2, because its made here in the caribbean which means they have access to all our spring waters which they use in the product and lots of stuff you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
I like a swedish brand called “rosenserien”, it’s all natural, and the skincare product considers all skintypes
I honestly haven’t had a favorite skincare product for so long because I never truly loved the quality of anything I tried (probably because it wasn’t all natural), but now I would have to say it is the bee yummy skinfood moisturizer. I know it might be too early to tell since I haven’t been using it for very long, but I am honestly so excited about it and the fact that it is all-natural and great for acne-prone skin. It absorbs so quickly into my skin and my face doesn’t look oily at all throughout the entire day (which is an amazing feat for my skin since it’s on the oily/combination side). It also makes me feel good that it has such great reviews about it. So for now, and hopefully much longer, it is my favorite skincare product.
manuka honey is my favourite natural product, i use it as a sweetener, to make weekly facial masks that help my skin to heal and keep it soft. i also use it whenever i get a sore throat. versatile and you can eat it!
I took a bath last night with Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment. It is 100% Natural Colloidal Oatmeal (Fragrance Free). It is very soothing to the skin and mind.
I have not found a product that I am completely excited about. So I am very excited to start using the Bee Yummy Skin Food once I get it!
My favourite product is my Mineral Makeup by Everyday Minerals. It was recommended on this site and since useing it my skin feels lighter and less clogged. It gives me good coverage (even those red acne scares!) without looking caked and I don’t feel like I am wearing anything. It is easy to apply, not expensive and lasts for ages. An all round great product.
I don’t really have a brand, but I love Aloe Vera Gel. It has always been the best moisturizer for my skin, without making me breakout.
I haven’t really found that one sunscreen that works. Either it clogs my pores or it makes my skin oily. I will try this sunscreen. Let’s hope it works!
my favorite skin product i have to say is bee yummy skin food my face has really chANge. and i feel more confident. :]]
weleeda lotion and lip balm! ooooh i love it so much! and the lotion helps with acne too!
Bee Yummy is my favorite new skin product. I started using it a week and a half ago and I am very happy to report my face is glowing.
I came to a conclusion that my most favorite product would have to be loreal bare naturale mineral concealer. As a guy sometimes i find it unfair how girls can conceal their belmishes while still having it be accepted by the public. With this conealer, it has SPF 25, crushed aloe vera, it is non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, and looks like i am wearing nothing at all. It is a life saver.
Strangely enough my favorite all natural product is more like my favorite vegetable… the cucumber! I would cut a piece of the cucumber and just cut the surface to appear like a chess board (lots of crisscross lines) and rub it all over my face. Let it dry. Do a few layers. Then wash it off, and my face would feel soft and moisturized. I love it!
My favourite natural product is definitely tea tree oil. I dilute it and dab it on pimples every night. Then once a week I like to do a facial steam with a few drops of tea tree. Thanks to your mini course Fran
Well honestly I havent used a “all Natural” product yet.
The product I am using now was however recommended by you on your site.
I’m using cetaphil skin clenser and its doing wonders.
Ive stopped using everything except this and its helping so much.
Thanks Fran for doing this, I don’t know what we did to deserve you, but anyways:
My favorite natural skin care product is Apple Cider Vinegar, although I have yet to find the perfect one. Drinking and applying ACV probably cleared up at least 50% of my acne after not so long. It is a great cleanser too when taken properly internally. I realize that a natural skin care product is crucial if you want truly healthy skin, and ACV is just that. It is good for your body and for you complexion. Other pluses include it’s low price and availability.
My Favorite all natural product would have to be organic honey…I put in on as a mask for about 10 min, its yummy and makes your skin baby soft!
Well, I do not have a favourite skin product, but what i usually use is natural aloe Vera and green tea. Especially green tea, since it relaxes me whenever I’m stress and leaves my skin feeling natural and smooth. But, one product that i need occasionally, is a moisturizer that won’t clog my pores in any way and that is natural, because my skin tends to be dry on cold days.
Take Care,
Christian
I would have to say Bee Yummy Skinfood is my fav product at the moment. I have only started using it, but it feels so wonderful so far on my skin. Its only the first few days of using it, and I think my skin is adjusting to the new moisturiser, but i am hoping from all the awesome reports that it gets my skin glowing!! It sinks in so nicely to your skin, its not oily and you can apply makeup pretty much straight after applying. Also knowing it is so natural, and recommended by Fran is also a bonus!!! Cant wait to see what it does for me!!
i love thayer’s lavender witch hazel.
i like how it tones but my skin isnt zapped with alcohol.
My favourite natural product is Dr.Hauschka’s Normalizing Day Oil. I know that people with acne-prone or oily skin will cringe at the thought of applying anything slightly greasy on their faces, but this amazing product has never made me break out, and has even cleared my complexion somewhat (and to add on, overnight or in very short periods of time)!!
It does control the oilyness of my skin, and I find that my T-zone stays oil-free way longer than if I use my regular oil-free moisturizer (which is great, but unfortunately not all natural, it is called Complex 15). Anyhow, I would recommend Dr.Hauschka’s Normalizing Day Oil to people with acne-prone skin, or oily skin, but I must warn you that it is rather pricey. Instead of buying it, I would suggest you try a sample of it, by purchasing the Dr.Hauschka Daily Face Kit for Oily or Impure skin. (Don’t you just hate getting your skin called impure?? Argh..)
Another natural company that I like is Mario Badescu, and although I have not tried their famous Drying Lotion that apparently zaps pimples overnight (or at least whiteheads), I have gotten a few FREE samples with FREE shipping via their website. I live in Canada, and they are based in NYC, so the free shipping and generous samples were quite lovely to have. Just go on their website and fill out a quiz on your skin and they will list you products they’d recommend for your skin and you can order your free samples there.
Enjoy!
My fave natural skincare product is Blue Sage Naturals Skn Savr. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, doesn’t break me out, has helped clear my acne scarring, and is just a great moisturizer!
My favorite product is earth science A-D-E creamy cleanser is for sensitive skin so you can use it several times a day without making your skin oily or over drying it, also is very cheap about 8 US dollars. My skin has been so much better since I started using it… besides is all natural stuff…
my favorite natural skin product is tea tree oil. it just clears out the bacteria and stops my acne from inflaming more. it’s good for that
thanks
My favorite product is using aloe vera at night before sleeping in with heavy blankets. Its helps blemishes but also significantly improves the texture of your skin!
jojoba oil! Its my favourite skin moisturizer, it really leaves your skin feeling healthy, and apple cider vinegar. I use it on my face and my hair, it makes life grand.
My favorite natural product is my moisturizer, by WashTheDayAway on Etsy. It’s Goji Berry/Green Tea and for combo/acne-prone skin. It’s just SO moisturizing but not greasy at all, and doesn’t break me out. Plus it has GOJI BERRIES, what more can you ask for? lol. It’s 100% natural and I believe some of the ingredients are organic as well.
Shalom!
I always opt for something cheap and natural..keeping it simple and not at all harsh.. 2 liters of water , exercise and high fiber diet really works if done religiously.. however for a favorite natural product i’d have to say : green tea. It does wonders to ur skin, giving a natural glow from within, cleanses, helps in circulation and whole umbrella of health benefits! ^–^ ciao!
God bless!
I’ve just started looking for natural products without all the additives and chemicals that are harsh on my skin.
I’m still looking for a favourite - a moisturiser that happily and consistantly moisturises when my skin is dry and doesn’t leave me feeling oily either… and isn’t too expensive and will rid my skin off any future blemishes, wrinkles etc etc !!!!
I don’t have a favorite product, but I love green tea, to drink and to use on my skin. It makes it look nice. I wouldn’t go as far to say that it clears acne, but it makes the acneless skin on my face look great.
I love this highonhealth and I don’t what I would have done with out it and Fran. Whenever I see a new email come in from Fran I stop whatever Im doing at the time to read it. I would LOVE to recieve this package! thx so much for all that you do!!
My favourite natural product is Garden of Wisdom. Actually, it’s not a product it is a whole website full of products that have 90%(!!!!!!) cleared my face, and it’s stayed this way. My fave would have to be the HA serums to hold moisture, and the rosacea serum which is absoluteley fantastic for redness and acne. They are the only products that I have found that give moisture to oily skin without drying it or making it oily, with breaking out and without harshness. It leaves your skin soft and supple. The girls of the forum are fanastic and since there are so so many things, you can go on the forum and they will give you a routine full of cleansers, toners, exfoliants, (fruit exfoliants aswell!), acne treatments, serums, antioxidants, creams, treatments, masks, fruit mists, oils and lots lots more
Here it is, seriously it changed my life (cheesey, but true)
http://www.gardenofwisdom.com
all of them, especially the lipgloss
Well to be honest, I’ve never really had much success with any of the products I’ve tried so far (and i’ve tried a lot lol) but nothing ever seems to make much difference. The only thing that seems to have helped slightly is my aloe vera gel which helps to fade my scars, but only very slightly. I have yet to find something that prevents or minimizes breakouts. On a happier note, I’ve just begun your mini course, so I’m now hopefully on my way to clearer skin. Also, having read your glowing review of the ‘Bee Yummy Skinfood’ moisturizer, and having done some research on it myself, I’m eager to give it a try, and with any luck, that will become my new favourite lol.
I’ve starting using Live-Live Bee Yummy Skinfood since I saw your blog about it and it’s probably my favorite product I’ve used on my face now. Especially since it’s so natural. Thanks~
I have not yet found my favourite skin care product =( I dream of a product that it natural, will not clog my pores, protects me from the sun, leaves my skin feeling radiant, BUT offers substantial coverage for my blemishes. I highly doubt this dream product exists, but if it does let me know =)
I am really looking forward to receiving my Bee Yummy Skinfood and Inika Mineral makeup! I did buy some tea tree oil and it does work on blemishes! I also love my organic extra virgin coconut oil for my body moisturizer. Just one ingredient and I love the sweet smell and glowy finish it gives me.
My favourite product is Burt’s bees beeswax lip balm!
My lips used to be very chapped and i tried so many lip balms..but none of them worked. Ever since i started using burt’s bees my lips are neverrrr chapped!
I am awaiting my delivery of Bee Yummy Skin Food and Im very excited but for now my favourite natural Australian owned and made skin care product is anything from the Ego range. Their hand and body cream for dry skin is amazing. Thick but not greasy, beautiful and creamy and low in perfume. Transforms cracked feet, hands and elbows. I really think it is a very good product. Unlike some body creams that soften your skin until your next shower, this keeps on working and keeps your skin soft for days. You dont need to use alot of product and it isnt expensive either.
Anything from the Ego range is great.

Until i’d discovered high on health i’d chopped and changed from one expensive skin care range to another, never happy with how my skin felt or looked. I’d shudder to think how much money i’ve spent trying to find a skincare regime that would help clear my acne without drying out my skin. After watching Frans video on products she uses I switched to the Miessence range and am now also using the Bee Yummy Skinfood moisturiser and a steam facial once a week with tea tree oil. For some reason i’d NEVER thought to go back to basics and use natural products on my skin. I was of the mind set that the more expensive the brand the better, but for me it did nothing more than make my skin red, dry and still not help my acne. I’ve discovered that Organic products of any kind have to be my favourite. My skin is in the best condition its been in for as long as I can remember and more importantly its no longer stinging and irritable.
I broke out about 3 weeks ago. I’m a little worried about it, since I’d never had acne problems. So I did a little research and I bought a cleanser and a toner by Dorothy Gray, both products are hypoallergenic and after the first application my skin feels great. I hope these two products will help clear my acne. I also wash my face several times a day, and I’m trying to eat healthy!
I would really love to find a healthy kind of make up, so that you can use it every day and not worry about clogged pores! I’ll try Mineral make up as soon as my acne clears up.
So that would be it, thank you Fran for all your tips!!

My favorite product, simply enough, is honey! Raw manuka honey, especially, is so amazing and has done wonders for the texture and condition of my skin. I just apply it as a mask, full strength, and leave it on for half an hour. It is also a fabulous hair rinse mixed in 1 part honey, 1 part apple cider vinegar, 10 parts water.
Honey is so inexpensive and I love knowing exactly what I am putting on my face. That it is so brilliantly effective is a definite plus. The slight peroxide reaction that naturally occurs in the honey has improved my acne visibly, and since I do struggle with picking having a sticky mask on my face keeps me from touching it, makes my skin hydrated and bright, and dries out the pimples quickly. There are no downsides I have found, truly.
my aim toothpaste. i use it as a spot treatment for about five to ten minutes, but no longer cause it could burn a hole in my face!
I haven’t had too much luck finding the perfect natural face cleanser. But currently using Purity Made Simple which, although not natural, works great.
I love Healing Foot Creme by Sally Hansen. It is cheap but when you put it on after washing your feet, it feels the same as when you get an expensive pedicure. It has tea tree oil in it, but I am not sure if it is all natural.
id like a lotion or cream for my face that helps dry skin for sensitive skin.
My favorite is Egyptian Miracle Cream! Great for acne scars and uneven skin tone!
My favourite natural skin care product is called ‘Venus Body Lotion’ by Hidden Valley Handcrafts in Broome Western Australia. I don’t use this on my face or for my acne as I am still in the process of trying to the right product for my acne problem. The ‘Venus Body Lotion’ contains ingredients such as Macadamia and Jojoba Oils, essential oils of geranium, rosewood, palma rosa, sandalwood, clary sage and madarin. It is described as being ‘feminine, soothing and balancing’. It makes me feel really special when I put it on and makes my skin feel and smell lush. Hidden Valley Handcrafts make their own natural soaps and skin care products which are beautiful and unique. I first came across them when I visited the Broome markets and saw their array of hand made soaps which smelt fantastic. Living in such an isolated Kimberley town can make it difficult to find quality skin care products, so it is great to have a litle local business who makes their own natural products. I am yet to try out their facial skin care range, but if they are as good as the body lotion, I’m sure I won’t be dissapointed. You can check out their website at http://www.hiddenvalleyhandcrafts.com.au/
Hi,
One of my favourite cleansers is Anago Black Soap Facial Cleanser. It isn’t like traditional soap that leaves your skin dry your face rather it cleans without stripping the acid mantle. It is also completely natural - yay. I have combination skin and it really helps to reduce oiliness.
It is available at http://www.vitalenatural.com.au
I LOVE eminence organics eucalyptus cleanser!!! It smells so… I dono… clean. I also love their Mineral Make-up. Its a natural 30 SPF with pretty great coverage and comes in a tube making it super portable. It also smells like fruits - yummy! Another Fav. is Suki’s transformative facial clay -spot treatment/mask - 2 for 1!!
I ordered bee yummy skin food and I am very much looking forward to trying it. I have yet to find a cleanser that I like.
My favorite natural organic products are;
- Miessence Purifying Cleanser
- Miessence Purifying Blemish Gel
- Bee Yummy Skin Food
I love those products. Although those aren’t miracle products, it make my skin look and feel better. I use them everyday because I love them so much.
My favourite isn’t really a product. But just getting lots and lots of sunlight seems to get rid of zits great but not work up my excema.
i haven’t really tried natural products on my skin, what i have been doing lately is just eating better and that has helped me the most so far. so i guess that my favorite natural product in healthy food…but there is something i’ve been looking for and that is natural rose water i have found some but they are not natural and i have found instructions on how to do it my self but it’s hard to find roses that have not been touched by chemicals.
This may sound weird– But I love making a mask of raw cocoa and putting it on my face! It leaves it very glowy afterwards! (And I love drinking it too!)
My favorite product is unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar. It’s packed full of vitamins and works great to dry up acne.
There are many natural products that I like, but the best of the lot would be Natural Hydrating Day cream from Banalasta. I first discovered this brand from this blog (thanks Fran!) and it is a really good moisturizer for my sensitive skin. I’ve been using this product for six months now and my skin is much better than it was before. Plus I really like the soft smell of aromatic oils in it and as they said - it’s all natural!
I, like Elizabeth, am looking for a good sunscreen! My skin is soo sensitive to the sun, so I really need to wear one, but everything I’ve tried clogs my pores something terrible, and makes my oily skin look way more oily than it is. Does a non-comedogenic sunscreen exist??
Hi Fran,
I was very happy this year to find a natural sunscreen called “Colorescience Sunforgettable 30 spf sun protection” that does not have a chemical base and its not a cream, so it does not clog pores. It’s a powder! You just dust it on liberally after applying whatever moisturizer and/or makeup. It is made up of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as a natural mineral sun block.
This is the first summer that I have not broken out due to the combination of chemicals, heavy cream and possible allergic reaction, that I would get with regular sunscreens. It even comes in a roller ball and three tints for different colours of skin so you can use it all over your body.
I used it on my kids this year and felt much better about the protection and not having to worry about the long term effects (possibly carcinogenic) of the regular brands of chemical based sunscreens out there. I even use it alone as makeup, it feels great and makes your skin tone look even.
The website is http://www.colorescience.com to get information about it. I bought it from http://www.dermstore.ca (for canadians) and its also availabe at http://www.skinstore.com (for americans).
My favorite product is emu oil. It doesn’t make my acne-prone skin break out, while it moisturizes my skin and helps heal old acne scars. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Lastly, it can be used as an eye-makeup remover
It’s pretty much the perfect skin care product.
What I like to do is buy these little facial mask templates that are shrunk into little cylinder tablets. Once you put them into a solution they expand and you can pull the mask apart. They cost fairly cheap, about $10 for a dozen or two. You can make your own mask solutions: (1) Milk and two drops of olive oil (moisturizing); (2) egg white (whiten and firms); (3) honey and cinnamon (antibacterial); (4) apple cider vinegar (promotes blood circulation, pH); (5) tea tree oil; (6) any leftover toner; etc…. you can come up with anything that has natural healing properties and just throw the mask in, let it absorb, and pull it apart to leave on your face 10-20 minutes. The masks look like this: http://www.one2fit.com/gb_12_2_cat79_sub15_product298.htm
My favorite natural skin care product is Thoroughly Clean Face Wash from Desert Essence. It’s cheap and works well on my acne. I started using this product a month ago and my acne got better and better each day. I love it and I am going to keep using it<3
Hi from Hungary!
My favourite is a hungarian natural skincare product: Ilcsi Cosmetics. http://www.ilcsi.com
Someday I want to test Juice Beauty and Bee Yummy.
Have a nice day!
My new favourite all natural treat is Lavender oil moisturiser. I am into aromatherapy and am a big fan of tea tree oil for spot clearing, but I have recently found out that lavender oil mixed with a base oil or natural base moisturiser is also great for acne skin. The Lavender soothes, reduces redness and can apparently even help scarring. I haven’t tested it long enough to see with the scarring, but so far my skin feels great and the heavenly smell helps to relax me and calm my face down even more.
Bee Yummy Skin Food! This is by far been the best moisturizer I have ever used. Soothing, natural, and oh-so-beneficial for skin texture and post hyperpigmentation. I’m very pleased with this product and will probably never use another moisturizer again! <3
hi.
my favourite natural skincare product is the Cleansing Cream by Dr. Hauschka. I also like their shampoos.
Hi Fran!!!
The Live-Live Bee Yummy Skinfood really caught my attention. During the course, you gave me some information about this product and from then on, I was looking forward to trying it. I’m in Vietnam, so the products you mentioned are not readily available and I was disappointed.
Though I haven’t tried it yet, the Live-Live Bee Yummy Skinfood is my favorite, aside from the positive responses of the people who use it, I believe in the natural power of honey. So I hope that this product will also begin its circulation around Asia. I will be first in line, for sure!!!
Oatmeal.
It’s the only thing that calms my skin; without it I’d be itching all over. All I have to do is bathe in it about once a week, and my eczema is almost a non-problem. When my skin is particularly dry, I like to add olive oil in the mix too. I come out all soft and moisturized, it’s such a great feeling.
I have been desparate to try the Bee Yummy Skinfood, especially after reading your glowing review of it (along with others). Unfortunately, I’m still very wary of ordering products online after a few incidents, and am just hoping that this product will eventually hit Aussie stores soon, although maybe I will give online ordering one more shot…
i will be so happy fran if you choose me because i tried so many products but all of them didn’t really work. i start having more pimple and my face gets so dry….
My all time favorite natural skin care product would have to be niacinamide powder (also known as vitamin b3.) There are studies proving it to be great for fighting acne (compared to a prescription acne antibiotic called clindamycin… a 4% niacinamide gel cleared 82% of the participants, while only 68% cleared with the prescription. Pretty cool eh?) It’s all due to the powerful anti-inflammatory effects, I believe.
Also, it’s a natural skin lightener for those dealing with hyperpigmentation (studies proving that as well.)
And last but not least, it’s anti-aging!
I’m still young (turning 20), but it’s NEVER too early to start on an anti-aging routine lol. 
Studies show that when using niacinamide topically, it reduces wrinkles, improves the skins natural moisture barrier, reduces sallowness, improves elasticity, etc. etc.
Best part is, for any of us poor college students, its cheap to buy it in bulk. It’s water soluable so you can add it to any moisturizer or gel you’d like really, such as aloe vera gel. I’ll sometimes mix it with water and make a paste out of it to use as a face mask at times. Or else I’ll just add it to my moisturizers. Good stuff
Whoops, this turned out more like an essay than a simple response! haha.
My favorite natural skincare product would have to be Shahnaz Hussain Exfoliating Scrub Anti-aging Formula — it makes my face feel renewed and youthful with absolutely NO CHEMICALS whatsoever.
My favorite Natural Skincare product is Aloe! Aloe Straight from my own little plant. I use it on my nose after I have a facial with extractions. I use it on my lips in the winter. I even use it as a cuticle treatment for my nails. I love it and I make sure I am super good to my Aloe plant. Simplicity at it’s finest.
My favorite natural skincare product would have to be Aloe Vera. I usually buy the one that comes in a gel form but sometimes when i need to just use a little bit like, on a scrape or something i just take a little dab of the one i have on my backyard. Well, it’s not really mine it’s my mom’s lol. She’s been using it since she was a kid (she’s from Mexico so the plant is a native to where she used to live) and just recently i’ve started using it too. Maybe it’s not THE greatest thing on Earth but it does have a lot of medicial value. Or at least to some extent. I live in California so sometimes i get sunburned when i’m outside for to long and the Aloe Vera works great. It just softens and soothes your skin. I started using it because it helps your skin to heal faster after you’ve had a breakout. That, and it helps the redness go away. When i use it as a moisturizer it doesn’t make my skin oily like other moisturizers do. I really like using it in my masks. Oh, i also love Cucumber!
Fran, I don’t really have or use a single natural skin care product.
The truth is that the products I use have nothing to do with what you are trying to pass down through your mini course.
I am currently on roccutane and not at all satisfied with the condition of my skin, so I don’t think I have the right or deserve to comment positively on natural skin care products….
But, I must say, I really want to see if going natural will benefit my skin…maybe it will make me feel and be high on health!!
tea tree oil is amazing. I owe it my life. Thanks for turning me on to it fran!!!
I would have to say that Bee Yummy is my new favorite skin product. I began using it a few weeks and ago and I am extremely happy to state that my face is glowing and feeling so soft and smooth. Having sensative skin and acne prone, I find this is very gentle on my skin.
My favorite, favorite natural skin care product is Green Tea. Great as a steam facial to open up your pores and making your face soft and glowing!
My favourite skin care product = Green tea!
magical stuff
My favourite natural skin care product would have to be, Kosmea’s organic rosehip oil!! It doesnt make my skin too oily, penetrates deep into the skin without causing any breakouts
Gotta say I love Bee Yummy Skin Food! I’ve been using it for a little over a week. I didn’t see any improvements over the first week but I’m noticing a reduction in redness and amount. Yay!
My favourite natural skincare product would be Kiehl’s Calendula Herbal Extract Alcohol Free Toner and also Kiehl’s Tea Tree Toner. I have also been using Sea Mud Mask from Assata and its been working very well for me so far. Once in a while, i would apply aloe vera on my face. It definitely helped to clear and prevent my acne.
Hi, my favourite skin care product is clean and clear blemish moisturiser as it leaves my skin feeling fresh and cool and really helps with my dry skin.
Hi Fran, I can’t wait to try the BeeYummy Skin Food!!!
My fav is honey and cinnammon which I mix together to sooth my inflammation and reduce breakouts. It works wonders for me : 0 )
Hi Fran, I have to say that my fave natural skin care product is tea tree oil. I use it to dry up any spots I find and put it in my bath so a relaxing and “disinfecting” bath when i’m ill (which seems to be all the time recently!) I also use it to steam my face occasionally when i feel that my skin is all congested and it really does seem to help my skin! I think everyone should have some in their bathroom!
My favourite product would probably be Dr Hauschka’s Cleansing Cream and Clarifying Toner. I’ve had really bad acne for around 6 years and finally I have found a product that’s helping keep those annoying red bumps away.
Hey Fran, I’ve gotta tell you that your website is a real gold mine. I enjoyed every messages I received from you and trying to use them in my everyday life.
So to answer your question of which natural skin care product I use, it’s simple like a pimple( ahha had to do it as we are all so used to it) I use the bee yummy moisturizer. The big deal with this moisturizer is that it does not leave your skin oily or it does not clog my pores as I have a really sensitive skin that clogs easily. It really soaks into the skin like water in a sponge. I’ve been seeing great results since I started using it. I’ve also started Yoga class as you told you us to do( see I’m a very good student
and to be really honest with you, it is fun. It’s relaxing and usually yoga session is over in a blink. I consider this practice as a natural skincare also because it does not include chemicals and it is good for you skin and over that, for your self-esteem. I found out that it gives me time to reflect and it’s not also good for my skin but for my brain too! I didn’t really change my diet because I was already a health freak( as my friend call me) eating 3 apples a day but I know a healthy diet has a major impact on skin and I consider it my number 1 natural skin care. The better you treat your body, the better it will treat you. Alot of sleep helps getting rid of acne too and sleeping is so much fun so you are killing 2 birds with one stone( I think it’s the right idiom to express my idea, sorry I’m still learning English, I’m french) Well I guess I’m done, sorry for the huge response but I think I’m slowly becoming like you, ‘High’ on health! thank you again Fran my friend
Dear Fran,
My all time favorite natural skin care product has to be the home made tumeric and neem facial mask that I do it my self. You just have to get the tumeric powder and mix it together with the neem leave that has been smashed. Mix it together to form a paste and put it on your face. It has really helped in controling my acne and make my face healthier looking. Really love it.
If there’s one natural product that I will was made available would be a natural sunsreen product with SPF of 40 and above. They do have SPF30 but I still get tan if I’m outdoors with it
I have just received Bee Yummy skinfood and I am really excited to see the benefits it will have on my skin. I also love using Everday Mineral make-up as it makes me feel so much more confident when I do have breakouts.
Hi Fran, I’ve tried many many products and am still looking for ‘THE ONE’. The natural product with the best results so far was a neem cream that I bought from a health food shop in South Carolina, while travelling. I went through the pot contented that it wasn’t making my spots worse, finished the pot only to find that I couldn’t find it in any health food shop in San Francisco, a few weeks later. I moved on to Cetaphil which only worked for 2-3 weeks before giving me quite a few spots and had disposed of the neem cream pot without realising it. I live in London and always keep an eye out for the pot’s design because I didn’t note the company name; if I come across it I’ll be sure to let you know. Cheers
I’m very new to Australia and this website, but I am already loving it!!
I haven’t found my favourite natural skin care product, but I was reading all these great things about Bee Yummy Skin food and am already excited to use it!!
My ‘can’t live without’ natural skin care product would have to be manuka oil. Like tea tree oil, I use it for blemishes, as an antiseptic, and also blend in a bit with my shampoo to prevent dandruff. I like the smell better than regular tea tree oil, although they are related, and it works really well!
I love my homemade exfoliant made of olive oil and sugar. I rub it around in circles on my face, rinse with water, and then wash my face with a gentle cleanser. My skin always feels soft and refreshed!
I use to use Proactiv, with varying effects. So I stopped using it and interestingly, my face improved (before reading your blog), and when I started reading your emails, I found I was doing some of the things you had suggested and tweaked areas I could improve. Products I’m looking for, are natural moisturizers that can help maintain my face and prevent and manage outbreaks.
Keep up the good work!
Chris
My face and body is over half a century old now, and I have used many varied and expensive skin care products for 40+years, until I tried virgin coconut oil for everything! if I have any nasties I use ozonated coconut oil. if I have a bite or sting I use himalayan crystal salt brine solution. I hung onto my collection of ‘best’ products for a few years but eventually dumped them; thousands of pounds worth, all in favour of the very cheap above! all natural, too! ;o)
My favorite is Chagrin Valley soaps. They are completely all-natural (you can actually read the ingredients list and it looks like English… lol), they smell amazing, and they are so nice on my skin.
DERMASURE Dermavital BB cream is one of the most popular products in Korea and since I’ve been using it my skin hasn’t been getting irritated by the sun and it helps with getting rid of scars.
hey sweety.. the thing m gonna share with u might scare ur arse off but the reality is m hvbeen using cow dung..but all in vein as is sounds :D..so m in great need of these products..THANX..m sure u gonna consider my request
Hello, Fran. First I just have to thank you for your email from a while ago about feeling ugly with acne, but how others don’t concentrate on your acne and still see beauty. That email came at a time when i was really down about myself, and it gave me the boost I needed. I read that email at least once a week and it inspires me. On topic now, my favorite natural skincare product would have to be Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Cream. My skin is very dry, which is unusual for acne-prone skin. Almost all acne related skin care is for oily skin, but the Radiance Day Cream, although not specifically for acne-prone skin, has worked wonders on my skin. It contains Royal Jelly which is fabulous for skin, and has many, many nutrients. My skin is 1000% better than it was even just a month ago, and I attribute a lot of that to this Day Cream.
Thank you so much for your emails, Fran. You may not realize it, but they truly touch people.
All the best.
I like Tea Tree Oil and Baking Soda.
Tea Tree Oil helps moisturize and kill icky germs, but not over do it on my already annoying skin. The baking soda is a nice exfoliant, too! And they’re both fairly easy to get!
I would have to say Aloe Vera is my favorite natural skincare product. It does wonders for my acne scars
To be really honest I am still searching for products that are really good for my skin,nothing seems to help me a lot anyway I am waiting for yummy skinfood samples…
So far I don’t have a favorite. It used to be Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for oily skin, but after enough I use I notice I need more and more to counteract the dryness of my oily/dry skin. I fear it’s no good for me anymore.
I’m excited about trying the Live-Live Bee Yummy Skinfood! It’s next.
I don’t have any favourite natural skin care product but what I wish would be an all natural aloe vera moisturer! Aloe vera have many uses such as, natural healing effects, reduce redness on the skin, soothe the skin when you have sun burn and last but not least it is fantastic to apply aloe vera on your pimples!
I am DYING to try Bee Yummy Skinfood after reading your review of how good it was for your skin. I have searched high and low, and you are right - the only way to get it is direct from their website. After having tried soooo many different products with no success, I’m hesitant to dole out anymore money to try something new.
Hey Fran!!!
I’m currently in LOVE<3 with Bee Yummy Skin Food and Juice Beauty Cleanser. Since using both products, my skin has improved tri-folds. Your website and product reviews have changed my life. I don’t know where my skin would be now without these products. I got the Juice Beauty Cleanser as a gift and didn’t use it until one day I ran out of my usual cleanser. After using it for a couple days, I was hooked. My skin was glowing and I wasn’t breaking out like crazy. On a side note, I walked 20+ blocks to buy my jar of Bee Yummy. It was the best walk of my life. ^_^V
I look forward to discovering new products through your website. Thanks!!!
i fran!
im julie from Montréal and i love bee yummy skinfood its
amazing what it did to my skin.
thank you for your tip about bee yummy!

My favorite natural skin care product is Rosafina lip salve from Barefoot Botanicals (http://www.barefoot-botanicals.com/shop/lip-care.asp), they also have a facial spritz that feels and smells really good! (http://www.barefoot-botanicals.com/shop/face-care.asp).
I’ve never had a favorite skin care product because none of them really work on my super oily and large pored skin, but I’ve been making progress.
In preparation for my wedding, I have been using Avalon Organics Lavender milk cleanser and the enzyme exfoliating scrub, and it’s helped my redness and calmed my skin down a bit. The lavender is supposed to be antibacterial too, so the breakouts are limited now.
Add Real Purity creme foundation and my skin is getting enough hydration, finally. It feels nice to have a foundation that doesn’t feel like it’s clogging your pores, and it’s really light even for my oily skin.
So, in all I think those three things are my favorites that are contributing to better skin.

my favourite is chamomile used with cotton on face, because i have many red spots all over my face
water!! my favorite skin care ‘product’ EVER!! i get these breakouts and wash my face with plain water at least twice a day apart from 2 washes with an ayurvedic face wash and my skin feels great after the water washes. its good from both inside and out
love it 
my favourite so far is Apple Cider Vinegar. I use it as a face water. it as also great for drinking as it cleans the body from inside.
my last discovery is to pour it over my hair after washing. makes it soft ald silky. I have very curlu hair, it works just perfect. however, this is not a skin care:)
I guess my favorite skin care product is the White Tea Skin Guardian from Origins. It’s all natural and protects your skin from oxidation.
The best product ever is the Mega Mushroom face cream from Origins. It smells so good! It moisturizes without being oily.
my favourrrite skincare product is my mango beeswax lip salve, i got it from a little farm shop in cornwall when i was on holiday, but its so brilliant and really helps to stop my lips dry. not looking forward to it running out because i cant really go all the way to cornwall for it. i find beeswax is really good for lips so the bee yummy skinfood has already given me high hopes

Currently my face is still in a broung state.meaning full of acnes and scars .still finding a product which is natural , heal my skin and clears my acne fast … ;(
Well…I don’t like the oil cleanse method - two months later and I am still fighting the mass breakout; however, tea-tree oil is a new discovery for me. I like it.
I am always looking for some thing natural to use on my face.Pure Honey with oat meal has to be my favourite.I mix the oat meal flakes with honey and use as an face mask.I have oily skin so really helps with this.My moto is:If its good for the inside surely its good for the outside too
In an attempt to name something not mentioned, I’ll say my favorite natural skin care product is a tea bag–as a redhead, my mom taught me long ago that if you have a sunburn, applying a tea bag to the area helps reduce the pain and inflammation. It really does work!
