Herbal Shampoo with Pine and Grapefruit

This is a traditional herbal shampoo with the added zing of pine and grapefruit. Lavender and rosemary are often used in shampoos. Lavender calms and soothes the scalp, and rosemary and pine are stimulating, helping bring blood, which is rich in nutrients, to the scalp. Grapefruit has a tonic effect on the skin and scalp and the delightful smell makes a welcome addition to this shampoo. Herbal shampoo is particularly recommended for oily hair but is suitable for all hair types.

What’s in it?
6 1/2 tbsp (100ml) shampoo base
10 drops lavender
10 drops rosemary
5 drops pine
5 drops grapefruit

Skin Care Tips (4)

Eczema
Eczema is a condition that causes skin to become red, itchy, and dry. If you have eczema, you might notice that you are prone to getting itchy rashes — especially in places like where your elbows and knees bend or on your neck and face. The symptoms of eczema can vary from person to person. Though you can’t cure eczema forever, you can take steps to prevent it from flaring:

• Stay away from things like harsh detergents, perfumed soaps, and heavily fragranced lotions that tend to irritate the skin and trigger eczema.
• Because water tends to dry out the skin, take short, warm showers and baths. If you’re going to have your hands in water for a long time (like when you’re washing dishes or your car), try wearing gloves.
• Soothe your skin with regular applications of a fragrance-free moisturizer to prevent itching and dryness. Creams generally moisturize a bit better and last longer than lotions for most people. Creams work best if applied when the skin is slightly wet, like just after bathing.
• Be careful which fabrics you wear. Cotton is good because it’s breathable and soft. (But if you are exercising, some of the newer synthetic materials actually keep you drier and are better for you than cotton.) Try to stay away from materials like wool or spandex that may cause irritation or allergic reactions.
• Keep stress in check. Because stress can lead to eczema flares, try activities like yoga or walking after a long day to keep your stress levels low.
• If you wear makeup, look for brands that are free of dyes and fragrances that can aggravate eczema.

If you’re having trouble managing your eczema, talk to a dermatologist, who can suggest ways to better control it.

Moisturizing Cream

In many ways, mositurizers are the most important product throughout the whole skin care range. They nourish, hydrate, and protect the skin, and keep it supple and able to fulfill its functions for the body.

Kukui Nut Oil is high in linoleic and linolenic fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin. Kukui nut oil is also easily absorbed by the skin and is known to benefit acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Sandalwood is much used in skin care and beneficially for all skin types, especially helping oily skin as it is slightly astringent. This cream is suited to all skin types and both sexes, so it makes a good general moisturizer for every one in the family

 Cold Sores

Cold sores usually show up as tender “pimples” on the lips. They are caused by a type of herpes virus (HSV-1, which most often is not sexually transmitted) so they are contagious from person to person. Once you get this virus it stays in your body, meaning you’ll probably get cold sores every now and then throughout your life. Here are ways you can help prevent cold sores from making an appearance (or reappearance if you’ve had them in the past):

• Avoid getting cold sores in the first place by not sharing stuff like lip balm, toothbrushes, or drinks with other people who might have cold sores. The virus that causes cold sores is transmitted through the nose (in mucus) and the mouth (in saliva).
• People who have the virus know that cold sores can flare up from things like too much sun, stress, or being sick. Just one more reason to lather on that suntan lotion, eat well, exercise, and get plenty of sleep!

If you do have a cold sore, here are some tips for keeping yourself comfortable:

• Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen if the cold sores are painful.
• Suck on ice pops or cubes to ease pain and keep cold sores cool.
• Stay away from acidic foods (like oranges, tomatoes, and lemonade) and salty, spicy foods, which can cause irritation.
• Don’t pick at cold sores while you’re waiting for them to go away. They may bleed or become infected with bacteria.

Usually, cold sores go away on their own after a week or two. But if you get them frequently or they’re a problem, talk to your doctor or dermatologist, who may be able to prescribe medication to alleviate symptoms and shorten the amount of time cold sores last.
