I use sea salt scrubs, you can make your own.
I did the same thing with my youngest! I did not notice any difference.Lol about the lavender, does not work at all on my kid. When he was a baby we got that lavender sleepy-time lotion and baby wash stuff for him, but all it did was wind him up! Put that stuff on him and it was like giving him Mtn. Dew or something.
There are a lot of things I will scrimp on or buy the generic brand. However, never go cheap on the razors in my experience. It is just not worth having a rash and razor bumps.
And saying that, I tend to use a heavier men's razor. I like the weight.
Salt for exfoliating, detoxifying, softening and antiseptic-ing.
Sweet almond oil for moisturizing.
Rosemary for antioxidizing and astringent-ing.
Lemon for pigmentation problems, acne, softening, and glowing.
1 c. kosher salt
the zest of one lemon
2 T. fresh rosemary leaves, stripped from the stem
¼ c. almond oil
3 T. grapeseed oil
lemon and rosemary essential oils
Mix the salt with the lemon zest and rosemary leaves. Pour the oils over the top of the salt and drop in 3-5 drops of lemon oil and the same with the rosemary oil. Stir everything and put into a pretty pot or glass jar with a cannister lid. Use in the shower and stir before every use. Keeps for 6 months.

Dis you know this works really well for mosquito bites? It shrinks swelling and quells itchingI'm super allergic (a bite on the wrist swells my whole forearm up), so when I heard this it was a blessing.
i actually use Preperation H on my eyelids in the morning to reduce morning swelling... i keep it in the fridge so it's nice and cool~
Doesn't it stink you out? I hate the smell!
Peppermint body scrub & foot scrub:
-the body scrub should ideally be made with sugar, which is more finely grained than salt, but if you like salt, go ahead - it won't hurt!
-the foot scrub should be made with salt
1 c. kosher salt, epsom salt, or sugar
¼ c. almond oil
10 drops of peppermint essential oil (more if you like it really tingly, but be careful)
Add the oil slowly to make a grainy scrub, not slushy. Rub the scrub in small circles when you use it. If your skin turns slightly pink, that's a good sign, because your circulation is getting a boost.

I've heard that. Does it smell better if it's cold? I have to admit, that 's the worst part of using it on skeeter bites.
Sigmund - how'd the haircut turn out? Do you love it? Mine is way too long for my liking and I really want to get 3-4 inches taken off - some floaty layers, maybe a bob. But I'm scared. I always end up loving it when I get it cut, but then it takes me years to grow it back out.[/QUOTE]
Hi, Sweetness!
I had almost 6 inches cut off.
I hated to lose the length but it was for the best. (Nasty split ends and totally fried hair.
Should have cut it long ago.)
I'm trying to get used to it but I'm used to flipping it out of the way because when I sit down it got caught between my back and the high backed chair or the car seat. I keep on flipping hair that is no longer there. Ha!
Peace.

I bet it looks sassy and stylish!
Used this on my roots today, and it's excellent for covering gray. Very easy to use, and a bonus: If you don't use all the product, it stays "unmixed" so you can save it and use it for your next touch-up. Cost was about $13 at Wal-Mart, but I went to the Loreal site and downloaded a $3 off coupon. C'mon, you're worth it!
Phantom Hair! Do you also pour out a hunker glob of shampoo to wash it, too? I do that for about 3 days after I cut a sizable length of hair off, and then adjust the amount of shampoo I need.
Always use moisturizer right after shower, while still wet. It seems to hold the moisturizer on the skin most of the day.
Don't think I've seen this one--if you've ever bought hair conditioner you ended up not liking, it can work as a shaving lotion instead.
Good suggestion! I recently accidentally picked up the wrong bottle of conditioner and bought one that makes everyone's hair greasy as heck. Thanks, Ms. Mod!
Thats interesting. I usually just toss it, so next time will try this.
Don't you hate that? And I canNOT rest easy until I wash that greasy out!
