Top Five Crunch Skin Care Products (In No Particular Order)

Baking Soda

arm and hammer baking soda

Aside from the fact you can use it for everything.  Well pretty much anything, particularly cleaning wise, baking soda is awesome.  It makes a great deodorant, it’s a really good exfoliater and mild cleanser.

 

Bar Soap (Beer and Charcoal)

Satyr
Bar soap for starters, particularly handmade bar soap tends to be SLS free (*cheers*).  Beer soap in particular makes my scalp happy.  Charcoal soap does wonders for my skin, an extra oily bar in the winter is moisturizing without being heavy and a more simple bar works wonders in the summer with all the outdoor dirt and grime.

 

Honey

Honey Bear

Honey, I could eat the stuff all day.  Mixed with crushed aspirin or alone it makes a wonderful mask.  It evens up skin tone and you smell good too.

 

Oil (Castor, Coconut, Jojoba, and Olive)

Oil on water - Take 2
I know people have qualms about using castor oil, but since it works for me I’m hesitant to mess with it.  Castor along with jojoba make up my OCM mix.  Jojoba’s also a nice light moisturizer for my face and hair.  Coconut oil is my go to moisturizer.  Thick enough to slather on in the winter but light enough for the summer.  Plus the unrefined stuff mixed with a bit of cocoa or cocoa butter makes you smell like chocolate cream cupcakes.  Olive oil is another nice hair moisturizer.  It’s too thick for me to leave in my hair but it’s a good hot oil treatment.

 

Tea Tree Oil

Melaleuca Flower

Out of the five tea tree oil is my favorite, although I’m a bit biased.  It smells amazing, it clears out my sinuses better then menthol anything ever could, it makes a great antibiotic cream, it’s a great addition to toothpaste (plaque be gone), and it’s great for clearing up blemishes.
