Still figuring out the balance: turns out if I do the baking soda too often without using any vinegar, my hair starts to feel gross and waxy... the acid vinegar clears out any remnants of the alkaline baking soda. Apparently people with hard water have to adjust for this kind of thing too, although I don't think my neighborhood has hard water. I'm going to start expirimenting with a rosemary-infusion for a rinse periodically in-between soda washes, cause I heard it helps balance oiliness (which is my main problem). And it would smell nice!<br /><br />The sugar scrub I use for my body is similar to your recipe: some coconut oil, sweet almond oil (as for massage), white sugar, lavendar & eucalyptus essential oils. Smells gorgeous. Very oily in the shower but then I get out, pat dry, and it soaks in and feels great. It's so oily, though, that I don't get it near my face since I've been paranoid about oil-related breakouts since high school. Maybe the olive oil would be a little lighter than the coconut oil, and if I scrubbed it off well enough... might be worth a try.<br /><br />I always figure, if it's good for the inside of the body, it's probably good for the outside too....Kellieadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188243499202819521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789582966436288532.post-32701883193121676422010-11-14T22:02:16.995-05:002010-11-14T22:02:16.995-05:00how long has it taken you to start normaling out? ...how long has it taken you to start normaling out? <br />the only facial scrub i've made is one with sugar and olive oil, so it's really rich and it feels like you can't get it off your face, until you realize that it is actually NOT oil on your face but your face is just REALLY soft. it's kinda weird, but i liked it.Misses Moustachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373005875579314172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-789582966436288532.post-3454928792141011882010-11-13T00:41:33.795-05:002010-11-13T00:41:33.795-05:00Dude, remember Sue from the Rep?

She went shampoo-free sometime last year and I asked her about it, she sent me to this site: <br />http://babyslime.livejournal.com/174054.html<br />Took me forever to get around to really trying it, and it's gross at first until your hair normals out, but I think I'm finally getting to the normal part.

Do you leave it on or rinse it off?<br />I went shampoo-free several weeks ago, have been washing the hair only with baking soda and doing periodic cider vinegar rinses. Still normalizing out but I think I'm starting to like it. It'd be great to do the same with my skincare..... I make homemade sugar scrub for the arms, elbows, knees, but it's too rich for my face.<br />got a recipe for a good facial scrub?Kellieadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188243499202819521noreply@blogger.com
