Consider adopting the ancient method of washing the skin with oil. It may seem strange, washing with fats. People think that oil will leave their skin feeling oily and less than clean, yet the exact opposite is experienced when washing with the right oils. Beauty glows with a balanced skin microbiome. Washing with botanical oils gently and effectively cleanses and exfoliates the skin while maintaining moisture and the integrity of the precious skin top layer.

In this video, I share some of my thoughts and ideas for a real natural hair care regime, with a focus on people who are sensitive to chemicals and harsh weather conditions.
