Growing up, I used a myriad of different soaps.
Homemade, name brand, the stuff you get at hotels…you name it. When I was a kid, it didn’t really matter, just whatever would get me clean! But as I got older, I started realizing how much the soap I used affected my skin.
I started battling with acne and oil, but the product I was using dried my face out. So I switched to a name brand soap that claimed to cleanse without drying out my skin. It worked for a while, but over time my skin started flip-flopping from very oily to extremely dry, and never stayed consistent.
In the winters I would develop eczema, and the breakouts continued.
Then I met Miss Ellie @ Moonshine Soap!
She explained to me that acne controlling products can strip my skin of the natural oils that it actually needs, and that what I consume also affects my skin. She suggested her handcrafted Lavender Lunacy, which cleanses without taking away all of the good oils. Since then my skin has improved greatly. My eczema is gone, and I no longer have that tight, dry feeling after washing my face with Moonshine Soap.
To say I haven’t had a breakout since would be a lie, but the breakouts I do get are because of an internal imbalance caused by eating wrong or not consuming enough water. I know that I’m doing the right thing for my skin when I use Miss Ellie’s soap, and plus, it smells so darn good! ;-)
