Perfect Skin Made Easy

You don't have to hardly spend a dime to give your skin the best -- and it deserves the best

By popular demand, I’m sharing my skin care routine. You’ll be shocked at how wholesome, homemade, and high quality it is while being economical, easy, and CHEAP.

People tell me I have great skin or look youthful and they’ve done so for years. I cannot say I see what they are saying until I compare my skin to the average 44 year old — and then I get it! So many people’s skin looks all kinds of tired, splotchy, and dehydrated and it comes from hard living!

No matter what I can suggest to you, and I have a lot to suggest, nothing will replace these basics:

1. Stop drinking

2. Stop smoking

3. Eat your high quality foods

4. Drink purified and mineralized water for the love of Christ

If you can’t do those things, these recipes will still help you, but you’ll still look and smell like ew. That’s your choice. Do what you will.

Also, nothing can prevent the damage you will do if you do not CALM THE CRAP DOWN. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can undo your stress but YOU.

1. Meditate - stop telling me you can’t, no one can until they can so shut up and do it EVERY DAY.

2. Deep breathe - make it a habit to breathe into your belly with full exhalations that are extended a bit longer than you think they should be at least once an hour.

3. Stop being around toxic people - you can’t make them less toxic and they are killing you. Let them go.

You didn’t think that I would tell you about how to make your whole world healthy while teaching you how to keep your skin nice, did you? You also didn’t think I’d be so aggressive about it. You were wrong.

Overall Skin Butter

This is literally all I use on my skin, except for the routine I’ll share specifically for the face. This recipe is good for many reasons, but the best reason is that both Shea Butter and Coconut Oil are all kinds of nutritive for you and your skin.

Remember that your skin absorbs everything — now that stuff is in your cells, your blood, and affecting your whole body, including your hormones. It matters deeply what you put on your skin.

Shea Butter is great:

1. Moisturizing

2. Won’t make your skin oily

3. Anti-inflammatory

4. Antioxidant

5. Antibacterial

6. Helps boost collagen production

7. Helps promote cell regeneration

8. Helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring

9. Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

10. Offers added sun protection and relief

11. Helps soothe conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis

12. Helps soothe insect bites

13. Helps promote wound healing

14. Helps relieve arthritis pain

15. Helps soothe muscle soreness

Before you insist you hate the smell, which I find insane because it smells delicious, know that you’ll be mixing it with any skin-safe essential oils you prefer, so you won’t even smell it.

I also use Coconut Oil in this recipe, but you can use any oil you prefer. For example, Jojoba Oil is great. DO NOT USE SEED OILS FOR ANYTHING, not even your skin. That shit will kill you.

Coconut Oil is also great:

1. Deeply Moisturizes Dry Skin

2. Reduces Inflammation

3. Promotes Wound Healing

4. Provides Sun Protection

5. Improves Skin Elasticity

6. Fights Acne

7. Soothes Sunburns

8. Reduces the Appearance of Scars

9. Improves Skin Tone

10. Treats Fungal Infections

11. Reduces the Appearance of Stretch Marks

12. Treats Diaper Rash

13. Treats Eczema

14. Improves Skin Barrier Function

15. Reduces Dark Circles

You can imagine how fantastic your skin will be after daily use of these two oils combined!

Recipe

1. Combine equal parts Shea Butter and Coconut or other oil

2. Lightly heat until melted

3. Drop in whatever essential oils you choose — I prefer citruses, lavender, copaiba, myrhh, and frankinscence but play around to get what you love, so many of them nourish your skin

4. Mix well and place into the freezer for about 15 minutes or until the edges are white but the rest is still somewhat less solid

5. Use an electric beater to whip into a frothiness and voila, you have months of the best lotion you can get, for pennies.

**In the summer, in hot climes, use a bit less coconut oil or else your poofy whip will melt down into less poofiness — it will still be useable, of course, but not as fun.

**This makes a fantastic gift and everyone you see will ask you what scent you’re wearing!

Face-Specific Nourishment

This is the real gem. While I use the Shea Butter Whip on my face in the mornings, after showering, I use this special blitz at night and my skin has never been happier. My wrinkles reduced, hormones can’t touch me, and my face feels tighter and more supple.

When I discovered that Geranium oil was called “nature’s botox”, I perked up. I had some geranium oil and, otherwise, I have no use for it, so it just sat there sad and lonely, awaiting its purpose in life. At first, I diluted it, as you do with essential oils for the skin, with fractionated Coconut Oil. I applied it that way for years and I’m here to say that’s more than good enough for your one-stop night time routine.

Of course, wash your face with Dr. Bronner’s as that’s the only soap you ever need and it is also part of your skin care routine! Nothing else, literally nothing else, ever needs to touch your face but Dr. Bronner’s, the Shea Whip in the morning, and this mix at night. Done. Leave it alone.

I upped my game after a while, though. It was because I learned that DMSO is also fantastic for the skin and that one of its many effects is to bring anything its carrying or applied alongside deeper into the cells.

I therefore started mixing DMSO and Geranium oil straight up, no cuts, no fillers. I don’t necessarily recommend it. It stings a little. I worked up to it. Go at your own risk…

I placed my mixture into a little pump bottle that squirts out a tiny bit of oil and that works perfect for me. You can absolutely mix up whatever you feel is appropriate and go for it.

DO NOT mix over the counter garbage with DMSO — you don’t want to bring the poisons deeper in! Only the good stuff!

Now is an appropriate time to remind everyone I’m not a dermatologist, not a doctor, am not diagnosing or recommending treatment for anyone, that you have to see a licensed medical professional for that, and that everything in this post is for entertainment purposes — but you already knew that, right?

Love to your faces!
