Beauty tips for creatures of the night..

On a more positive note I'm going to share what I have learned for skin splitting and moisturization. I will include links to all suppliers at the end of this entry. I've tried many things and it's important to say that none will be a cure because that comes from working on the inside and requires more committment. Also this is what works for me so there is absolutely no guarentee it will work for someone else, we are all our own blueprint after all. So I discovered Bentonite Clay. I tried drinking it combined with ground Psyllium Husk for help with healing the gut and liver and this does work really well if you have no skin issues however for me, taking it internally is just too drying right now. I'll come back to that one when my skin is more healed.

Now for an over-night treatment of extremely itchy skin, I use it mixed with warm water packed onto very moisurized skin. First I will give the skin a quick soak in a sink of warm water with a half a tea cup of Biona Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother). Then I will try really hard not to scrub it dry with the towel just gently pat dry. Use an old towel and spread it over the area you are working at. After this I smooth on some Naissance organic unrefined Shea butter which goes some way towards keeping the skin hydrated. Then I spoon the bentontie clay paste mix quite thickly over the affected area and wrap it in cling-film. To keep it all in place (it is messy)I bandage it up in cotton crepe bandage which can be found in any half way decent chemist.In the morning the skin is a bit prune-like for a short time but the splits are very clean, much improved and you haven't been able to get at it to scratch it within an inch of it's sorry litle life.

Et Voila! it's definately a look!
