Product Review: Natural Products

As I run out of the current health and beauty products I'm using, I've begun replacing them with all natural ones. I'm very particular about what I use. I don't like soap that is perfumy or has an overpowering fruit scent. I just like to smell clean but at the same time not antiseptic. Same criteria goes for any product I use in my hair with the addition that it can't leave a nasty film. These are the best products I've found so far.

The Method body wash and hand soap in White Tea leave my skin moisturized. I don't itch, have a nasty "moisturized skin" film or get any type of irritation or breakouts {all of which I've had with other products, particularly body wash.}

I really love Aveda products but they just don't work into my budget. The Burt's Bees Grapefruit & Sugar Beet Shampoo and Conditioner come in a close second. The scent is refreshing and not at all reminiscent of walking into a Bath & Body Works store. Peeewww. They leave my hair shiny and smelling great. The conditioner doesn't leave a nasty film on my hair thus causing it to be limp.

The Burt's Bees Hair Repair is great for hair that gets a lot of abuse. I blow dry mine almost daily and occasionally use the flat iron. This stuff made it super soft and moisturized.

Recently, I found the Burt's Bees products for $1.98 at Target. That's the same prices as Suave and a lot cheaper than the $7.99 at the grocery store. If you go to Target, Burt's Bees is kept by the makeup, not by the other shampoo and conditioner.

I'm still searching for natural toothpaste and deodorant that does as good of job as Crest and Secret. If you have any recommendations please let me know!

we have been using all of method's products for years and they are all great! they do such a good job, cleaning, lotions, dishes, all of it! great tip that the b/b is so reasonable at target, love target! sean & i use Toms of Maine toothpaste, it is all natural and we love it, there are like 8 different flavors, you can get it at wal-mart or teeter or earth fare, a little more $ than crest, etc. but it goes in your mouth! it is worth it!!
