New products

I have acquired a couple of new products that I have started using in my skin care regime. 

Avene extremely gentle cleanser
Weleda almond oil. 
Neil's Yard white tea mist.

Avene cleanser. I bought this because I wanted something gentle to use as a make up remover, and this is perfect. I use it on a couple of cotton pads, and it wipes off make up really well. I follow it with a spritz of silver spray or my new white tea spray, or rose water, and swipe with a fresh cotton pad, and I'm done. I finish up with my usual few drops of facial oil, either the Neil's yard rose facial oil or my new Weleda oil, and frankincense hydrating cream moisturiser. 

Neil's yard white tea mist. Lovely and soft, a fragrant alternative to silver spray, and less astringent than rose water.  I like this a lot. 

Weleda Almond Oil for sensitive skin. This is a simple and less expensive alternative to the Neil's Yard Rose Facial Oil. This has no fragrance, and is very light. I initially only got it as a fill in product when I ran out of oil this week, but I am getting converted! I so like Weleda products, and have used them a lot for my baby daughter's body and hair care.

While I don't suffer from many of the conditions that are characteristic of leaky gut, or Candida, Rosacea is cited as a possible sign of infection. Candida is a naturally occurring yeast, that resides in the gut. If it overgrows and is fed with sugars and yeasts, it can cause problems, and lead to leaky gut syndrome, where it attacks the gut lining, and causes toxins to leak into the bloodstream. The toxins have to go somewhere - and via the skin is not unheard of, others suffer with eczema and Psoriasis. I got a book about it, called "The Candida Diet Solution", by Sandra Boehner. It arrived while we were away visiting family, and having a wonderful sunny weekend with all the kids. As soon as we had unpacked the car I literally devoured the book, and read with gr...

Starting from Scratch

Well, not quite from Scratch, but since my economic situation has stopped my regular light treatment, and as my skin gradually is reverting back to more frequent flare ups and redness, I want to take it on, and find some sustainable lifestyle remedies. BASICS I can easily bring in a few healthy basics.. things I know would help but am not doing.. DIET 1. 2 litres of water a day 2. quit dairy 3. quit sugar 4. quit caffeine LIFESTYLE 1. daily meditation 2. keep fit That's my goal this week. Sounds like a lot. All this coupled with some homeschooling, which I have never done before. SO - thats a lot of change in one week. maybe I'll stick to doing my best and keeping a food diary to see where I can make changes. here goes.

I am having a terrible day today, feeling so miserable. It might be because I'm being quite strict with my diet and am having withdrawal symptoms... either that or I'm starving. My skin has improved a little, although still getting a few fresh pimples every day. its going to take time.
