I've heard lots of people say it thinned their hair, and caused a waxy build-up. It's full of yucky chemicals. And I don't find Ivory soap to be sticky, but then, I barely dab my fingers on the bar - I'm not rubbing it all over myself, or even lathering it between my hands. <BR/><BR/>I'm just finding myself thinking lately that it's weird to put stuff on our skin that warns "Avoid contact with eyes/nose/throat/bloodstream! If ingested, contact a poison control center immediately! DEATH!!" etc. Yet we douse ourselves in it.

If it's real urine, that's really vile. Although I have actually heard of extremely crunchy people putting fresh urine on pimples to clear up their skin - disgusting.sarah mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016489034529811005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611566.post-58183146126207425372008-10-07T13:55:00.000-04:002008-10-07T13:55:00.000-04:00I am off to start washing my hair with baking soda...I am off to start washing my hair with baking soda!

It makes your hands feel sticky even after it washes off. I don't know how you can stand to put it on your face.<BR/><BR/>I think I'll stick with Pantene for now - it fixed all the problems I had in high school with my hair, and thus deserves some loyalty, don't you think? ;)Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03366768314814574270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611566.post-1051398697472396262008-10-07T01:41:00.000-04:002008-10-07T01:41:00.000-04:00My sister just is going through esthetician school...My sister just is going through esthetician school right now (facials and skin-care), and one of the very first things they did was teach them what all those big words on the back of the shampoo and face-soap bottles mean. <BR/><BR/>Did you know that almost EVERY drug store brand of face soap uses wax and HORSE URINE to get it to stick to your face and lather up? Yuck! <BR/><BR/>After she told me that I went out and bought Dr. Wexler products, which are made by a dermatologist and don't have any of that yucky crap in them. I used them before I got married but had a hard time justifying the cost afterward. Unlike you (lucky) I have skin which requires much maintenance. <BR/><BR/>I don't think you're a granola, I think you're on to something!Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12764693424856370645noreply@blogger.com
