Kiss My Face Soap - no more!


plumbago

Recommended Posts

For years, I've been using Kiss My Face olive oil soap (not for my face, but mostly hand washing). It is the best. It's got three ingredients (I think) and is mostly olive oil (over 80%). Now, it's no more, for one reason or another. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? Preferably one with very very few ingredients. Thanks.

Maybe look into making soap?   It could be fun and relaxing too.  It is supposed to be easy!

Hey sorry late to post. I use castile based soaps around the home. They can be liquid or bar. I use the liquid as a base to make my own face soap as well adding chamomile, aloe, and essentials oils to make a custom face blend. My husband loves my face soap and actually uses it on his whole body, he says it is better than any store bought soap. His skin has been healthier since he has been using it. No more dry flakey skin for him.

Initially, I used books at the library to read up on soap making and essential oils usage. Now there are a bunch of pintrist posters who share their recipes as well. The craft stores sometimes have classes, near us some of the local park districts, & community education centers have started classes for DIY personal care products too.

Dr. Bronner's, Kirk's, are some brands there are a few others too. My Walmart sells Kirk's in bar form, Dr. Bronner's is at the health food store and vitamin store too. If you find the bar is going too fast get a loofa to increase the suds and limit the usage amount. I tend to purchase the Kirk's bar for the shower at Walmart. I get the larger size liquid version for Bronner's on Amazon to save money. You can use castile for cleaning too.  Just adjust ratio of dilution etc for the purpose you need. Just verify that any vegetable oils in the products are not an allergen to you, so maybe start smaller size to test.

I use Thayer's Witch Hazel as my toner. I called them concerned after my body started reacting to corn as I had to verify the source of the citric acid was corn free. It was so Thayer's continues to be a staple in our face care regime and my daughter also likes it too.  I blend Shea butter and coconut and scent with essential oil to make own lotion. It can be greasy so I usually just keep it at home.

Lastly, I make my own laundry detergent as well. I grate Fels Naptha, or Zotes, combined with Borax,  Washing Soda, and utilize essential oils again to scent it as I wish. I forgo dryer sheets and utilize the dryer balls to fluff, as I can't do they DIY dryer vinegar version recipes as white vinegar causes me issues personally. I do occasionally make Apple Cider Vinegar homemade dryer sheets, but ACV can be expensive.  Many years back I was told that myself and my kids had eczema. We had to use sensitive laundry detergents only. Low and behold discovering our celiac issues, food intolerances, and keeping items as minimal DIY ingredients as possible has worked wonders to support our immune system and limit toxicity load on the body. Not something most people in society worry about, but for those who find it beneficial like to explore these options. By the way the eczema is food related gluten not our laundry detergent. 

Good luck finding a product that works for you or as cycling lady says perhaps explore looking into making your own.

      Hi. Yes. I’m awaiting my Biopsy results. I had B12 and other labs drawn on Mon, including Thyroid levels, as I am on Levothyroxine for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. Those levels should indicate any iodine issues. We had discussed the urine iodine, but he went with the thyroid instead. We’ll see.  I never had any of those Pellagra skin changes, or Casal’s necklace. Just itchiness in the supraclavicular hollows on both sides of my neck, and the anterior aspect as my neck radiation site.  The hollows had no changes until I scratched them, then I got the rash on those areas like the ones I have now scattered in different areas, usually on both sides with the exception of my anterior thighs. My right is affected, my left isn’t. I am 70 and have all my teeth as well - amazingly after having had max dose radiation in 2002. 😂 Unfortunately, because of long term changes in my oral mucosa because of it I can’t use mouthwashes - even non-alcohol ones, as they all burn my mouth like fire. Toothpastes burn as well, but not nearly as bad. I have an electric toothbrush but it is getting more difficult to use due to increasing trismus. Some days I cannot open my mouth wide enough to get the electric brush between my back teeth, so on those days I use a regular one. Gotta do what you gotta do.  Thank you for your input. Any insight I can get into this is appreciated. So, for now it’s the waiting game for test results, then we can form a treatment plan going forward.

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week
