I want to provide you some inexpensive alternatives that will reduce your exposure to unnecessary chemicals. Try them out and let me know how they work for you. I have tried #2 and #3 and they work well for me. #1 is beyond my ability since I have a shaved head.

Note about hydrosols:
hydrosols are a byproduct of steam distillation, created while extracting essential
oil. Hydrosols have properties similar to those of their related essential
oils, although inevitably in a less concentrated form, but they are enriched with
various water-soluble active ingredients. Their gentleness makes them an
excellent way to tone, hydrate, and re-balance the pH of the skin, so they are frequently
recommended as final cleansers/toners after cleansing or nourishing masks.
Removing as many unnecessary chemicals from our environment is essential to improving our health. Since we often do not know what is in the products we use even after reading the label, it is important to use natural substances whenever available. It takes a little more effort on our part however the benefit is removing one more source of unknown potentially harmful chemicals from our lives.
So let's Get Up Get Moving and Get Well and remember,
"CHIT CHAT WON'T BURN FAT"
