hi elaina

things i use. water soluble gycerin (kmart sells near pharmaceticals ask clerk if can't find) is acouple $ mix it with water to the solution you want is a natural gentle oil free way to soften hands legs face etc. also they sell cheap old corn huskers lotion the best thing yet for really chapped skin/ elbow heels etc, again bout 3 $ a bottle just little dabs go a long long way.does not leave an oily residue at all.you will see a dramatic result within minutes really.
i used to make a dandruff shampoo for my exhusband from marigolds and rosemary and the gycerin it cured his dandruff in about a month (esp on his eyebrows) and his hair had been dry/bristly and got much softer.i just steeped the flowers and fresh rosemary in a non metal of water simmered about 15 minutes/ let cool straine dit off then added gycerin to get it to a texture i liked.
evening primrose oil is well known to help womens skin...pleas enever put anythign on face liek for a peel etc til testit on inner arm i have seen posts of women that scarred their faces tryign garlic maskes etc. a very nice natural exfolite is soimply mix cornmeal with a bit of olive oil/ dampen skin with warm water
then oh so gently rub it on face. mix a bit maybe 1/2 a cap of applecidar vinegar to a 4oz glass warm tap water and use that
to dab wash it off break off the oil then spals with regular warm wwater til all clean/ the spalsh again with cold water (never ice)
to close pores. dab dry, put a light coat of gycerin with water mix over it for seal and added moisture back in skin.
