Clearing clogged pores: Hemp oil and the oil cleansing method

Get rid of clogged pores once and for all! Hemp oil can actually cure your closed comedone acne safely, naturally, and forever.

The oil cleansing method seems almost counter-intuitive, especially if you have any kind of acne. I mean, putting oil on your face on purpose? Weird. BUT applying oil to the face actually helps dissolve the sebum plugs that form in your pores. It will also make your wrinkles less noticeable, and the massaging makes your botox last longer!!!!!

Winter Skin

Magical mystical hemp forest.

All right, y'all. I have a totally Felix Unger-ish "condition" called Cold Urticaria, which is basically hives brought on by the cold. An allergy to cold air, if you will. How lame is that? I get red, bumpy, itchy hives on my neck, face, chest, and arms. Whatever is exposed to the cold. It's ugly and uncomfortable. When I got it diagnosed maybe 20 years ago, the doctor paraded me around to all the other doctors in the complex to show me off. His little medical anomaly. They were all very impressed. He put me on antihistamines, which didn't work, and I just suffered through it the rest of that winter. It never happened again until this year! WTH???? Now it's back. Thank goodness it's not on my face this time, but it's all over my chest, arms, and lower legs.


This time I'm trying to cure it (or at least minimize it) at home with all natural stuff. So far I've tried lavender, rosemary, and clary sage essential oils, homemade calendula-infused sweet almond oil, and the ponderosa pine-infused oil I made awhile back that's supposed to be awesome for skin conditions. The only thing I accomplished with those is to further irritate my skin. Finally, I went back to the tried and true: HEMP SEED OIL. I swear to god, this oil is magic. It cures EVERYTHING!  

Cradle cap

Does any baby really look like this when you're washing its hair? I think we all know the answer to that.

Cradle cap is a bohemian beauty issue for our little minions and for some of us grown folk, too!

Clearing clogged pores: Makeup

When I FINALLY got rid of all those horrific closed comedones (BUMPS! WHITEHEADS! MINI HORROR SHOWS!) on my face, I started looking around for a makeup that I could use that would not negate all that work. I sing in a band, and like to wear matte makeup with full coverage and good adherance on stage so my face doesn't look like an oil slick under the lights. That's really the only time I wear makeup.

Carry Nation! Back in the day when all I needed was a wonderbra and black eyeliner.

Clearing clogged pores: Water only cleansing

soap and commercial cleansers can clog your pores. so how do you clean your face without clogging your pores?

Shall we start with the face? I developed closed-comedone acne when I was 27 years old. It was a rude awakening from the smug euphoria of having a perfect Irish complexion throughout my young life. Closed comedones are little plugs of sebum that collect in the pores. If they emerge on the surface, they oxidize, turn black, and become blackheads. If they stay trapped beneath the skin, they are whiteheads. They're the most difficult kind of acne to treat because it's difficult to get medicine down into a closed pore. I've used some things that have worked, like Retin-A and Obaji Nu-derm, but those things are really harsh. I was determined to come up with a home-made routine that would work just as well without the harshness.
