...per Marie Clare's July 2010 issue:
sandalwood
aloe vera
red clay
rosemary
--perfect for your facials!
It's very soothing and good for you to use sea salt and baking soda in your bath tub. If, of course, you can't get yourself to the beach and swim in the wonderful ocean!
Salt "fights bacteria and inflammation and creates a negative ion environment."
Here are additional natural beautifiers:
grapefruit oil (purifier and astringent)
rosemary oil (circulation benefits)
cinnamon oil (also boosting circulation)
lemon oil ("ditto")

Been awhile...
But if you followed me from www.TheFitChick.com then you know I one-up-ed my yoga practice by taking yoga teacher certification last, and this, month.
I was a bit nervous about what would happen to my skin during this time; I'd be indulging in yoga practice all day with little time, if any some days, to shower & wash up. Remarkably, my skin faired well. Better than I expected. I was even told that I glowed.
Must be that yoga.
Must be something b/c the week I was done, I headed over to my derm's for a glycolic peel. 50%. (I go as high as 70%.) The results to my face area were pretty nice, I'd say. But I also had it done to my decolette and my neck. About 2 days later, if that, I started noting breakouts on my upper neck and underneath my jaw. Then it spread. Then it was just ridiculous.
I concentrated the Dermawand and also the Tanda light on this area. I "alcohol-ed" and peroxided. I used my regular zit zappers: sulfur, BP, tea tree oil...nothing.
And that's what worked-nothing. Or I should say, nothing worked.
My sebaceous cysts on my face (like a pore turned inside out) were zapped and burned by my PS a few months back. The pinkish areas have healed and resolved and unfortunately, the bumps are still there.
Right now I'm using my LRP face wash most mornings except for 2x/week when I use MB Glycolic foaming wash. At night and post-workout, I use Clean & Clear which does have "triclosan" as its anti-bacterial, anti-zit remedy. There is a controversy regarding its use...
