Rhoda - do you still use salt water? How do you use it? I'm quite curious about this, as I always seem to have some sort of small red mark or blemish or tiny zit on my face. Nothing that would be considered full out acne, but always something somewhere. It bothers me after a while that I just can't get my face to clear up. Some of it I suspect is too much sugar, which I am working on getting under control, and it could possibly be gluten, but I haven't gotten far enough in adjusting my diet yet to see if it helps.
I don't use chemical shampoos, I only use Dr. Bronner's pure castile soap to wash with, I don't use makeup, and at most I rub a thin layer of coconut oil on my face now and then (not very often). I'm lazy and often don't wash my face because I have not found anything that seems to be reasonable to wash it with that doesn't leave me feeling uncomfortable or so squeaky clean that it feels odd. I do have a toner that I use from Wachter's Sea Products, which is nice, but it still doesn't clear things up. At most I use hot water on a washcloth to hold against my face, and then rub gently to help remove dirt and oil. I'm wondering if I can use heated salt water instead of the plain water if that would help.
Of course, right now my eyes are all yucky from allergies which is driving me nuts! Hopefully the pollen will be done soon.
