Recommendations for beta hydroxy peels
« on: March 25, 2010, 06:25:26 PM »
Are there any products you sell which contain beta hydroxy acid?  Or, do you have any recommendations for any OTC products or products that can be "cooked up" in the kitchen :)??

Thanks.

Recommendations for beta hydroxy peels

We do not sell any acids currently.  We might in the future.

Salycilic acid loosens and breaks down the outer layer of skin.

  It penetrates the skin pores and helps to keep them unblocked which makes it very popular for acne treatment.

  Tips:

  Make a mixture of sugar + oil or salt + oil and scrub your body in the shower. It will nicely exfoliate your skin.

  Coconut oil (it is actually solid at a room temperature) – use on dry skin or hair ends. Coconut oil easily penetrates hair.  Massage it into the hair ends for half an hour before you wash your hair.  If your ends are extra dry, massage a little into them and do not wash it off.  You can also use it for frying (do not use very high temperatures). It is cholesterol-free.  Store it cool.

Almond oil – penetrates deep into the skin. Take a cotton pad, make it slightly wet with tap water, pour a little bit of almond oil on it and clean your face with it. It’s a very soothing and non-irritating cleanser.  You can also use a little elsewhere on your skin.  Store the main bottle in the fridge and refill a small container in the bathroom to ensure it's always fresh.

  Panthenol spray or cream - use on your skin and as a hair mask. It moisturizes the hair without making it greasy.

 

If the skin on your legs is dry, use body milk containing urea since it is a strong hydrating agent.
