Oh, and I also use almond oil for my skin. I just bought some coconut oil the other day to try it out (but it was almost twice as expensive !!).

I know this is an older post, but I just stumbled across it from the link to today’s.

For toothpaste, Weleda has a salt toothpaste that I love. The peppperminty taste is good, and the salt leaves my mouth refreshed. My children don’t like the salt so I get the Plant Gel toothpaste; it has a much milder flavor.

With regards to deoderant, My Hero and I have been using salt crystal deoderant sticks for the past 4 to 5 years. There was a HUGE difference when I got him to switch. He sweats profusely. Sometimes I wondered if he ought to take 2 showers a day. But after he switched from regular deoderant (from Wal-Mart) to the salt crystal deoderant, he sweat a lot less and the odor was almost unnoticeable (not the case before).

I like the homemade scrub idea. I love your blog. It’s happy, friendly and uplifting. I read it every day.

New here but wanted to comment anyway, I make all of my own body care products. I use them as well as retail them. My body scrubs consist of demerera sugar and lemon juice…..that’s it! Just add enough juice to make it a pasty consistency, put it in a container and use 2-3 times a week–in the shower only!! Do Not use this in the bath, it WILL bring on a yeast infection. Also, toothpaste…..baking soda and some peppermint EO, a few drops’ll do ya, leave it in a container in the bathroom. I make up one container for each member of my family so there’s no worry about double dipping. My dentist is pleased with the results and so am I!

Thanks! I’m off to make this right now. No time like the present.

I use it on my face and body. It does make you feel waterproof (love that analogy!), so I always wash my face afterwards with my tea tree oil cleanser by desert essence. Just a tiny bit of the scrub is leftover and my skin feels moist. In the shower you can follow the scrub with your cleansing soap, but I find a good towel off leaves my body nice and soft.

I am going to make both of these! How do you use the sugar scrub, though? All over or just on your face? Do you just kind of rub in on and rinse it off? I made a similar scrub once (but without the lemon–love that addition) and it just made me feel kind of waterproof and made the shower really slippery.I’m still going to try it again, though, because I love the idea and am determined to like it.

Thanks for Deo recipe. I am definitely trying it out. I don’t have sweaty armpits and I don’t reek even when working out. So this might be a perfect substitute for the chemical-load deo I’m currently using.
