Just for the smell if you don't like it.)</p><p>Add the produce and swirl it around</p><p>Let soak for a few minutes, the water will turn murky and/or brown! Yukky...</p><p>Drain and rinse!</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/toilet-hygiene-and-anti-bacterial-handwash 2014-01-23T11:08:55.000Z 2014-01-23T11:08:55.000Z Vegan Elliot https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/VeganElliot <div><p>Hygienically speaking, it is important to wash your hands after using the toilet with some sort of anti-bacterial soap or handwash...

I am not sure how much damage the sun is really doing, or how much sun my face needs. I used to fake bake because it helped to dry out my acne. I haven't used any soap or moisturizer on my face for close to a year now and I don't use sunscreen.</p><p> </p><p>I've always been paranoid of my face aging and I remember using anti-wrinkle creams in highschool for prevention lol. I even try to sleep on my back so I don't smoosh my face into weird positions. I'm 22 now and I don't want to get any older! haha</p><p> </p><p>Any <strong><span style="color:#000000;">natural tips</span></strong> would be awesome, and I would like to hear from people that have truly benefited from their methods. Is staying hydrated enough or should I moisturize?</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/how-to-go-no-poo 2012-06-29T10:23:51.000Z 2012-06-29T10:23:51.000Z sannabanna https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/sannabanna <div><p>Im doing my second attempt with going no poo. first time I tried it I simply rinsed my hair with water, and it was a disaster ! my hair got so greasy from it that I didn't feel like leaving my apartment. and it wasn't even dirty beforehand !</p><p>so now I wanted to try out the baking soda-approach, hoping for a more gradual transition. - I don't mind my hair being a little greasy during this phase, but I don't want people to think that Im insanitary either ;)</p><p>SO today was my first day. It has been 5days since my last hair wash, although normally Ill wait 7-8 days in between washing. I wanted to break the wash-cycle a little early so that the risk of my hair turning out like last time, would be smaller.</p><p><strong>step1</strong> - I mixed 3tbs of baking soda w 150ml of water.</p><p><strong>step2</strong> - after rinsing my hair in warm water for a couple of minutes, I put the mixture in my hair and massaged it in for another cpl of minutes, and then I rinsed it out completely.</p><p><strong>step3</strong> - panic ? I must say that my hair feels really thick and unmanageable ! It hasn't dried yet, so idk how it will turn out, but experience tells me that when it feels like this wet, it wont improve much in its dry state.</p><p></p><p>what do you say ? do you think that I need to just stick it out, and maybe wash it everyday for a while w the baking soda until my hair adjusts ? or should I try adding lemon to the mixture maybe ? Im open to any suggestions and/or stories of experience</p><p></p><p>thanks fruities !</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/how-do-you-wash-your-clothes 2012-04-06T02:43:32.000Z 2012-04-06T02:43:32.000Z fruitsandnumbers https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/fruitsandnumbers <div><p>Thanks for answering ^_^</p><p>Love to all &lt;3</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/best-natural-body-face-hair-cleaners 2011-10-01T21:14:45.000Z 2011-10-01T21:14:45.000Z Jennelle LeMoine https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/JennelleLeMoine <div><p>I have now finally found the best things to use in place of everything i was using for my body, face, and hair! </p><p> </p><p>Shampoo- Calcium bentonite clay</p><p>Face Wash/Makeup remover!- Olive oil</p><p>Toothpaste- Aluminum free backing soda</p><p>Exfoliation- face: one of those little foot scrubbing brushes, body- tampico skin brush (dry brushing entire body every day)</p><p> </p><p>Next i will be no longer using bad chemical hair dye, instead i bought henna to keep my hair red because thats how i love it :)</p></div>
