| paparben free cleanser To those of you smart ladies who watch for parabens, what do you use for your facial cleanser? I think I have rid my home of parabens with the exception of mine and my daughter's facial cleansers. I bought Alba pineapple enzyme cleanser yesterday. I have a paraben free Alba lotion so I just did a super quick ingredient scan assuming I was safe. Used it last night- loved it. Took a better look at the ingredients this morning and surprise! Paraben! I really don't want to spend a fortune trying a million new cleansers and I thought, ah ha! A YTer is sure to have the answer. Here's what I'm looking for; I'm 35, fairly normal skin, a little oily in the summer and I like a foaming cleanser (yeah I know, you don't need lather to clean but I'm addicted). It doesn't have to do anything but cleanse my skin well without stripping it- don't require vitamins or any other bells and whistles in my cleanser but don't mind them either. Sulfate free and of course paraben free. I also prefer it to be something you can pick up at the health food store or that markets to spas- I don't like to have to special order staples. Any ideas?

| Would the ingredient list actually state they have paparben in them? I have NO IDEA...what this is and have never heard about it. Reason I ask is I just bought a new skin line by Mario Badescu and did not know to check for this.

| I have been using OCM (oil cleansing method) for about 2 1/2 months now and I won't use anything else now. I'm 46 and my skin has never looked better. It's a combo of Castor Oil & EVOO and my particular mix is 75 CO & 25 EVOO. I moisturize after with a couple drops of Greepseed oil. I tried jojoba oil-- but GS works better in my case. Talk about cheap and I am telling you, I glow. Even first thing when I wake. I feel 19 again. |

I am still doing that too and I have to say I use some other products since I tend to still get some acne and have very oily skin but I LOVE it too. At first I felt it was too oily but now my skin is so used to it and it leaves it feeling tight and fresh.

I tend to be more oily, so upping the CO works better as does the GS to moisturize as it has a slight astringent property to it. I also started making my own body butter. Saving a ton of money and I get to put as much of exactly what I like in it. I use the following in it: Shea, mango & cocoa butters coconut, jojoba, grape seed, almond, evening primrose, tamanu, hemp oils & a secret sensual smelling essential oil blend. Soooooooo yummy and my skin loves it. I've always had scaly legs but NO more! | |
