What a wonderful question for the day!

Used to use Vaseline but I stopped using petroleum products on my skin, their not good for you.   Yes I know grandmom used it for years but now we know better.

To get rid of the build up on your hair I add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to your shampoo, mix and then use.  It doesn’t suds much but gets your hair squeeky clean.

I also buy inexpensive hair conditioner, suave works very well and has smells nice.  I use a handful and rub all over my body and rinse off, my skin feels moisturized and not greasy.  

I love Dove soap and have used Dr. Bronners liquid soap for years.  It’s a hemp-castile soap and very pure.  You can use it for shampoo, tooth paste, body wash.  Peppermint, Lavender & Eucalyptus are my fav’s.  Most health food stores carry it plus it’s easily ordered from Amazon.

I love Noah’s line of naturals face wash, moisturing cream also from walmart.  Plus Hope in a jar for sensitive skin I love, from Sephora.

I use a loofah cloth to scrub, just replace it monthy when it gets nasty, their very inexpensive at walmart.   Plus I love to use a sugar scrub on my face weekly.  Any brand it doesn’t need to be expensive!!

In stead of coloring my hair, I use John Frieda hair color glaze, brown up to 3 times a week when I wash my hair.  It covers the gray wonderfully, but you have to be careful about getting it on your scalp, it stains.  I just smear it on and cover my hair with a plastic cap while I scrub, buff and shave, then rinse.  Used to do the mayo condition, but just havn’t in years.

The coffee rinse sounds intersting, I’m thinking about trying that one.

I have been hooked on Bare Minerals from Sephora for years.  I do use some eye shadow and lipstick from drug stores.  But Bare Minerals are wonderful and Sephora usually has the best price!  QVC also carries some great names but Sephora is all make up and the best selection.
