Hippie Beauty Remedies for Non-Hippies Part 3 : Products every half hippie should have

1. Yogurt and Salt
-for a weekly and biweekly scrub down.  No exact measurements necessary.  You get a spoonful of yogurt, a spoonful of salt, mix, and slather.  GENTLY.  easy peasy.



2. Witch Hazel--Non alcoholic swipe with a cotton pad all over your face and neck until no more dirt comes off. Watch redness calm down and your face start to glow.  I like Thayer's because it's alcohol free, no worry of the overdrying-->over oil producing cycle



3.   Jojoba oil--a few drops and rub all over face and neck, particularly in creases to plump up skin and erase wrinkles.



4. Plain old clover honey--a tablespoon mixed with a bit of water cover all areas of face and neck, leave on for no more than two minutes if you have sensitive skin.  Voila! Moisturized dry patches and calm acne patches.


5. Sunscreen! I use moisturizer with SPF 15 everyday, rain or shine.  I like Aveeno Ultra Calming (forget the exact name) for my sensitive skin.



That's all you need!  Don't forget to eat healthy.  Organic yogurt all the way--half of skin flareups come from a wonky intestinal track--get the good bacteria you need.
