Ask The Herbalist

I am a fair-skinned African American and I was wondering what are your recommendations for skin care? I don't wear makeup or anything; I am just interested in finding a cleansing, moisturizing regimen for daily use. All the products I have seen are SO expensive and or full of toxins. I don't have any skin problems such as acne. I noticed you have several soaps but I was unsure as to which are best for my face. Finally, is there really a need to wear sunscreen? Is there such a thing as "safe" sunscreen?

Sounds like you may be interested in our Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual (EBook) which has a listing of healthy/alternative products including skin care products. It's available from the on-line store. The nubain heritage soaps we sell are good but i actually recommend kiss my face brands for skin care purposes. There is really no need to wear sunscreen. Sunscreen is promoted because it was invented and so it must sell, so a theory that the sun was damaging to the skin was created and sunscreen began to sell.
