New Facial Wash

I've been meaning to blog for sometime now. But I have felt like I have been running around the Wasatch Front & Back for the last 3 weeks, like a chicken with it's head cut off ... So I finally took a few moments to blog.

A ton of things have been happening the last 3 weeks since I was laid off from Mountain Reservations. But this post is not going to touch any of it at all ... This will be a fun girly post.

One nice thing about going down to Cruise and Travel Masters is that I get to see and talk to all my up to date friends more about new "products" that are out. One of my girlfriends, Debbie, is very into Herbal Remedies ... but not is a freaky hippie way. She was telling me that she started washing her face with Baking Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar. And that she had been having really great results with it. Then she said that she wanted me to try it for a few weeks and see if it solved any of my facial problems, because everyone knows I have horrible skin.

I looked at her like she was crazy and think I told her she was crazy (in a loving way) and then began to think about it ... what could it hurt? I have already tried EVERYTHING else out there for something that would clear up my skin.

So I went out and bought some Apple Cider Vinegar (the Organic non filtered kind ... specifically) and started washing my face with Baking Soda & Apple Cider Vinegar.

I am still using my face wash to get my make up off my face. Then, I put about a tablespoon of dry baking soda in my hand and add a little bit of water to it so it makes a paste. Then smear that all over my face and rince it off. Once that drys more, I then put a few drops of Apple Cider Vinegar on a cotton pad and run it over my face. After that has dried, I then put some lotion over it.

And amazingly enough, my face looks pretty good. It hasn't cleared up completely, but I'd chalk that up to being hormonal because of that time of the month and under major stress caused by jobs.

Maybe we'll see in a few weeks when the hormones have subsided how it is working.
