RAW HONEY: The Sweet & Sticky Side of Natural Skincare

July 28, 2017

Finding a healthy, chemical-free set of skincare products has been an absolute nightmare for me lately! There are so many reputable companies proudly claiming that their products are paraben-free, phlalate-free, and sulfate-free, but the ingredients in their formulas say the exact opposite. Some days I research products for hours without finding any cleansers, toners, serums, or moisturizers that are truly chemical-free.

Not to mention, fad ingredients like Rosehip are becoming widespread amongst the little guys and huge corporations producing skincare products for the face and body. And while Rose hydrosol is an incredibly beneficial ingredient for balancing your overall complexion, its sister ingredient, Rosehip, is an absolute nightmare for your hormones because it naturally increases your estrogen levels. Be careful not to mistake the two ingredients when reading the label of a product because though they do share a similar source, one can benefit your overall body while the other can act as a hormone disruptor.

Little side notes like these are crucial for me when choosing a skincare regime because I’m already fighting against estrogen dominance. I need a product that is going to compliment my health not capitalize on an existing issue. Is this such a grand request to make for the products I put on the most absorbable organ in the human body? We may not always see the pores in our skin, but they’re there just the same and they will absorb the cosmetic products you put atop them.

I’ve gotten to a point where looking to cosmetic companies for products containing clean and healthy ingredients is no longer an option. Honestly, with the large amounts of poor quality ingredients being approved for use these days, finding good-quality skincare products is yet another overwhelming feat to accomplish. It’s seriously almost as difficult as trying to find organic jalapenos at the grocery store. Whenever I do find them, I can’t help but do a little victory dance in the produce section. I may look crazy, but I just found pesticide-free jalapenos…and do you know what that means?? Bacon, Jalapeno, and goat cheese grilled cheese sandwiches! Yum (psst…there’s a link to the recipe included)!

Back to the topic of skincare…

Should we just give up and use the substandard products? Oh how those cosmetic companies would love for you to do this and use their products! But, my answer will always be no! I already have seizures, I’m not exactly looking to add anything else to my medical history. If you’re teetering between using the standard chemical-filled products and truly healthy products, remember this one very important fact: You deserve better! Your body deserves better! And so does your overall self-esteem!

Be better than synthetic-filled products! Living a healthy lifestyle just feels good because it’s good for you! Also, if you’re experiencing problems with acne and breakouts, consider this: are these chemicals helping to clear up your issue or are they contributing to it? Logic tells us that bad ingredients will produce bad results while good ingredients can’t help but improve upon your body. When you put a moisturizer, for example, on your face, the effects are far more than just skin deep, contrary to what you see in the mirror.

I recently took the high road and ditched the commercial skincare products altogether. They weren’t producing the results I was looking for anyway, plus I wasn’t feeding my body nutrients by putting those chemicals onto my skin. In reality, I was actually poisoning my body and getting nothing in return except poor health. No extra soft skin, no perfect pH balance, no clear skin. I’ve reached the point where I’m no longer asking “Which product should I try next?” rather I’m starting to wonder “Why am I choosing to poison my body?” It’s as though I’ve hit a brick wall in the search for the perfect skincare regime. Honestly, now I’m questioning my methods altogether.

Well, the dilemma with this confusion brings us right back to the commercial skincare industry.

Society tells us that we should use these amazing and cutting-edge brands that have not only been promoted by well-known dermatologists, but are advertise incessantly on social media platforms, television, and paper advertisements. We don’t always realize it, but we’re bombarded by this industry on a daily basis to believe their lies…one lie in particular: buy these types of products if you want positive results. So it really shouldn’t come as that much of a shock to discover that everyone and their brother not only uses this particular method, but views it as the normal way (and sometimes the only way) to treat skin issues, as well.

I certainly fell for these lies! Even after I ditched the chemical skincare products, I was still searching for something similar only healthy. I’m talking about still using the same basic system recommended by the dermatologists. If you look at any supposed “well-rounded” skincare system, it is typically comprised of a cleanser, a toner, possibly a serum (depending on the severity of your acne), and a moisturizer. Some other systems also recommend an eye cream and some sort of spot treatment for stubborn cystic acne. But wait, there’s more! An exfoliant once a week to clean dead skin off the surface of your face is held in high regard by skincare professionals AND on top of all this, a facemask to replenish your skin and make it “glow.” I’ve used plenty of facemasks over the years from a variety of brands and I’m still yet to see my skin “glow.”

If you want to get really complicated, you can also try the Korean method which uses anywhere from 7-15 different products in the routine. I wouldn’t recommend this method to anyone who is typically in a rush in the mornings. Not only is it time-consuming, but it is also complicated. I have tried this method and I have to admit that using 7 products for my regime did produce decent results in my skin, but it was nothing to brag about. In fact, I’ve actually had better results from using only 3-4 products. As you can imagine, this amount of products from a name brand company cost a pretty penny! Worst of all, at the end of the day, the penny was prettier than my skin and I was sick of it!

I then moved on to a more natural form of skin treatment. I found some products by a company called Rawsum Organics that are natural enough to eat. The company called their product raw skincare because not only were their ingredients natural, they were also organic and food grade! Their set consisted of the standard cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and exfoliant. However, instead of a huge ingredient list only found on the packaging because it is literally too long to fit on the product itself, the entire set of skincare printed each ingredient label loud and proud on the very front of each bottle. Why? Probably because the ingredient list for the cleanser only consisted of four ingredients total, the toner 3 ingredients, the moisturizer 3 ingredients, and the exfoliant also 3 ingredients. You could combine the ingredient lists of the all four products and it would still be less than the ingredient list of one commercial product. Who knew this even existed??? I was shocked when I found the set, but more than anything it restored my hope that maybe the cosmetic industry isn’t completely devoid of good quality manufacturers.

I used these edible skincare products for almost two months and never experienced any interference with my epilepsy. Typically, skincare products contain the soy-derived ingredient, Tocopherol, which is a seizure trigger for me, personally. To my great relief, Rawsum did NOT use any soy-derived ingredients. To my great dismay, they did use other ingredients that just did not react well with my skin-type. I have oily skin naturally and although I noticed the Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, and Castor Oil ingredients on the labels, I was desperate for something free of chemicals. As expected, my skin reacted with increased breakouts and an incredibly uneven skin tone. It reached a point that made it absolutely necessary for me to make a change. I still recommend the Rawsum products to anyone with a dry skin complex, but Oily-Combination skin types should be wary. There is no guarantee that your skin will react the same way mine did, but it’s always good to be careful!

When the raw products didn’t work out, I had absolutely no idea what to do next. Finding the Rawsum products was a miracle from God, I knew that trying to find something similar was going to be a long shot. I stopped researching products being sold by other organizations and started researching DIY skincare. I’ve always enjoyed cooking, I do it with food all the time, so why couldn’t I do it with my skin products, too? Plus, if I was able to find a decent recipe for a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, it would be a guarantee that I was finally feeding my skin instead of harming it.

Why hadn’t I thought of this sooner??? Well, I have but other rabbit trails got in the way and my actually pursuing the idea. Part of me probably thought it was going to be too much work and the other part of me still had faith in the skincare industry. I was also skeptical about whether or not I could actually make something that would be beneficial, not just some crazy concoction that pales in comparison to the typical products with the perfect texture being sold today. I failed to look past the outer and focus on the inner because the ingredients of these products are far from perfect.

This time around, I was out of any other ideas, I had already tried the majority of options provided by commercial products, and my skin was NOT looking good.

I was way past the point of “pulling out the big guns” and I had reached the state of desperation where, as anyone who has also been in my shoes knows, anything is possible. And I do mean anything!

My skin had seen better days and I wanted nothing more than to clear it up. The acne on my face and neck confirmed the obvious…my pores were being clogged by my previous choice of skincare and the visible blockage was spreading quickly…I needed a miracle and I needed it yesterday.

As I researched recipes for a healthy cleanser, one ingredient kept popping up in a majority of the recipes. It was Raw Honey. Huh…so simple. Was it actually possible with its natural sucrose structure to improve my acne rather than add to the existing problem? The answer is yes. Honey is famous for being anti-bacterial and healing to the skin. Though we mostly use honey for eating purposes these days, this delicious nature given product was commonly used amongst medical professionals as a disinfectant to treat burns, cuts, and other minor injuries. As it turns out, honey has been used to heal the skin for generations…we just forgot this helpful information thanks to all of the commercial products that have been created over the years to replace it (although not one of them has ever been able to compete with the natural abilities of raw honey). You can’t create God-given abilities in a lab, no matter how hard those scientists try! I’m sorry to burst those scientists’ bubble (actually, I’m not), but Honey is one of a kind! I just like to give a shout out to those hard working bees across the globe…thanks for doing what you little guys do day in and day out!

Right now, I don’t know what I would do without raw honey and I hate to think about what my skin might look like if this simple product wasn’t the beneficial powerhouse history has proven it to be!

I decided to skip a DIY recipe and go back to the basics instead. I started using just straight up organic raw honey (I prefer Tropical Traditions, you can’t beat the quality of their product!) on my face instead. After I get out of the shower, I spread an even layer of honey on my face and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. I usually leave it on my face for the full ten minutes just so that the honey has plenty of time to really get into my pores and clear out the bacteria causing my breakouts. After ten minutes, I wet my hands with warm water, not hot water! Hot water will kill the beneficial elements in the honey that not only clean your skin, but naturally balance the pH levels in your skin, as well. Bye, bye red blotchy skin when you use raw honey as your cleanser and toner!

Once your hands are wet, take some time to thoroughly rub the honey into your skin. Think of it as working the honey even deeper into those pores. In this way, you will also incorporate water into the honey mask, loosening the sticky layer, and making it much easier to wash off.

Once the honey is completely removed, I like to pat dry my skin using a washcloth. Instead of rubbing the cloth across your face, pat your skin so that you are not wiping away any honey residue that might be left. When I say residue, I mean the good stuff that is happily soaked into your skin already, not the leftover sticky substance that was missed while washing. I’m not expecting you to leave any honey on your face all day, that would be inconvenient for anyone. By all means, wet your washcloth and wipe that honey off!

The pat dry method helps to further work the honey soaked into your pores further into your skin. You definitely want this on your skin all day, which is why I have chosen not to use a toner afterward.

The toner is a potent cleansing device that will wipe away anything on the surface of the skin. It does not discriminate, therefore, it will wipe away the beneficial matter in addition to the detrimental matter. Using a toner means removing the healthy leftover honey in your pores, you do not want to do this nor do you need to! The honey is already attending to this issue.

The toner is also created to help restore balance in your skin’s pH levels, but the honey takes care of this issue too (and much more successfully than any other product I’ve used in the past). So I have found it to be irrelevant in my honey based skincare routine.

I do, however, still follow up the honey with my moisturizer despite the fact that I am yet to find a chemical-free commercial moisturizer product or a decent diy recipe for this particular product. I’m still on the lookout and once I find one I will be sure to announce it here on Seize the Day Blog. Until then, I’m stuck with what I have. I tried only using the honey and not following it up with anything, but my skin felt shriveled, tight, and like it needed a serious drink of water. If you have any suggestions for a natural and chemical free moisturizer, please comment!

I apologize that I do not have a healthy moisturizer to recommend in combination with the Raw Honey. However, if you are interested in the moisturizer I am currently using and which I have found to be the best yet in accordance with all skin types, I can most definitely share that info!

The brand is Karin Herzog and it is called Oxygen Face. For a more intense moisture delivery I recommend the brand’s Vitamin H Cream. My mom uses this one and she loves it! Both products ship the fastest from amazon if you are interested in trying them out (there is a link with the product name above and in the sources list below). The ingredient list isn’t perfect, but it is free of soy-derived ingredients and I do not have a seizure when I use it! This is a huge benefit for me and also says something for the overall quality of the moisturizer despite the chemicals.

Who knew that something as well-known as honey, could be so beneficial for human skin? It took about three days to begin seeing serious changes in the amount of acne on my face, but it only took one use to begin seeing healing. I honestly could not believe my skin when I looked in the mirror after rinsing off the honey mask for the first time. Not only that, it felt good to put something on my skin that I knew was healthy for it, truly healthy. I haven’t been able to say that about my skincare in a long time! Finally, an affordable product that will treat your skin at a miraculous rate! Honey is fed to people from all walks of life on a daily basis, so why not feed it to your skin too???

Marijuana & the Medical Community

July 9, 2017

Medical marijuana is a tricky subject to tackle because there is such a variety of opinion on this particular movement. In many ways, marijuana has proven to be quite helpful in the medicinal industry. I can’t deny this fact, especially when I’ve seen it produce incredibly positive results in the life of a family friend who, at one point, was struggling to fight a cancerous brain tumor. However, like anything in life, there are negative aspects associated with this method of treatment, as well. And I believe it is crucial to address both aspects because medical marijuana could make a huge impact in someone’s life either for the better or for the worse. Truthfully, this is one subject where ignorance is not bliss. Knowledge is the key to determining whether or not you are a good candidate for medical marijuana. Be careful in your decision-making process and be sure that you have analyzed all of the potential risks before diving headfirst into a new treatment plan involving marijuana. Consulting your general physician is always a good idea; too, because like I’ve mentioned before, I am not a medical professional therefore this article is my own personal opinion not professional medical advice.

Marijuana’s level of prevalence in the medical field continues to skyrocket as more and more states choose to legalize medicinal and recreational use of the herb. As a California resident and an active voter, it certainly became a more popular topic of conversation this past year (2016) because of California Proposition 64, otherwise known as the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative. On November 8, 2016, recreational use of marijuana officially became legal for people over the age of twenty-one in the state of California. There are a multitude of opinions on this subject.

It is amazing how diverse and surprising these opinions can be depending on the person. What I can say is that it has become an even more popular and socially accepted form of medicinal treatment statewide since the passing of this bill.

There is an aspect of this change in attitude toward marijuana that has proven to be positive for many people and families. Great examples of this positive aspect are the children and adults who have been diagnosed with epilepsy, yet find no relief from their symptoms in prescription medications. They are prescribed multiple anti-seizure medications and they still struggle with multiple seizures a day. Some cases can be as extreme as hundreds of grand mal seizures on a daily basis. Talk about a serious interruption to their daily routine! Medical marijuana, whether it is in the form of an essential oil, capsules, or its organic plant-like form, can provide the right amount of calming effects necessary to stabilize the person’s condition.

I think we can all agree that the improvements these people have received in the quality of their everyday life are significant. However, the long-term effects need to be considered, as well. And what exactly are the long-term effects of medical marijuana? What are the long-term effects of legalizing what was originally an addictive substance? We may look back on Prop 64 in ten years and seriously regret our decision to legalize marijuana for recreational use or we may not! The truth is, there hasn’t been a whole lot of research done on the long-term aspect of marijuana as a treatment method. Hopefully, this is being worked on as we speak because doctors and users really should know the good, the bad, and the ugly about something being used to treat medical conditions.

Personally, I go back and forth between the negatives and the positives associated with marijuana for medical use. Most of the time, I settle with the perspective that it is not the ideal method of treatment for me despite my active seizure disorder and I’ll explain why in just a moment. However, I cannot deny the normalcy medical marijuana has managed to successfully restore in a multitude of lives. Just look at the family friend I mentioned in the intro! When chemotherapy and radiation failed to treat the problems he was having, he turned to medical marijuana and it turned out to be the best decision of his life! You could even say it saved his life!

That being said, circumstances should always be highly considered before deciding to accept or deny treatment methods involving marijuana. To clarify, let me ask all of my readers this one simple question…If you are dealing with a medical condition what exactly are you looking to get out of the method of treatment you decide to go with?? Are you simply looking to control your symptoms, maybe restore some stability back to your life? Or, are you looking for a method that targets the root of the problem and, therefore, strives more toward long-term healing?

For my friend, he was in a life or death type of situation where he needed a solution and he needed it fast! For me, I’m not under the same rushed circumstances. If another solution exists that is a bit more time consuming, but is guaranteed to target the root of the problem, I’d much rather go with this instead! These types of solutions are typically found in homeopathy or through holistic medicine.

One more aspect of medical marijuana should also be considered when you are trying to decide whether or not it is the right treatment option for you. And that is the standard at which all marijuana products are measured by when being produced. USA Today is one of the few sources I have been able to find that has actually shed some light on this subject and backed it up using actual medical research. I highly recommend reading the entire article for a more thorough understanding of this topic. I provided a link to the article above, as well as below in my list of sources.

USA Today poses a question that is rarely asked, yet extremely important when determining the quality of the product you might use for medical treatment…“Is medical marijuana approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)?”

Their answer? “No. But the FDA has approved two drugs made with cannabinoids—active ingredients in marijuana—called dronabinol and nabilone. Both are approved to treat chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in patients who aren’t helped by other therapies. The FDA is reviewing an unapproved drug, called Sativex, to treat multiple sclerosis. It’s already approved in Canada, the United Kingdom and other countries. And researchers are testing an experimental drug called Epidiolex to treat childhood epilepsy” (USA Today). This opens up quite a few issues actually, especially the mystery surrounding the system growers use to determine the quality of their methods. Medical marijuana may be growing in popularity, but organic and non-GMO foods are, as well!

“Patients need medicine that is free of pesticides and safe from microbiological contamination, and they need to know its potency (dosage). At the same time, opponents of medical marijuana have seized the opportunity to portray its quality in the worst possible light in order to suppress dispensaries that are legal in certain states. As a result, no federal and state regulatory protections are in place, and the cannabis products distributed by dispensaries are not subject to reliable oversight. As health care providers, they need to improve procedures for buying and distributing medical marijuana, and provide more detailed information about the medicine. The industry has yet to see legal cases involving contaminated marijuana, but they are likely to arise as the use of medical marijuana grows” (medicalmarijuana.com). Until some sort of system is developed, it is important for your own safety and care that you be aware of this uncertainty in quality associated with all marijuana products. Hopefully, this will inspire every reader to act with more care if there ever comes a time in his or her life when the need for medical marijuana emerges. I sincerely hope this is not the case, but life does tend to be unexpected at times so I figured I’d work to inform you on the issue.

I’ve tried to point out the positives and negatives of a very controversial topic in this article. As marijuana use increases, I believe our knowledge on it should, as well. I know I always like to be fully aware of whichever new treatment method I may be about to start before I actually begin any doses. It’s safer this way and it allows me to know for sure if this is actually worth doing or if it is just some rabbit trail that is a waste of my time. And trust me, I’ve had my fair share of rabbit trails! This is an inevitable risk of the “trial and error process.” If I am ever able to avoid a rabbit trail before I actually start down one, I need all the knowledge I can get first!

So, if you’re trying to decide whether or not medical marijuana is for you, you need to know the nature of the product you’re dealing with…

Once again, medical marijuana is meant to be used as a band-aid solution for medical problems such as epilepsy and cancer. The use of this treatment option has proven to be successful for some people in masking the symptoms, but it never really tackles the source of the problem. Everyone is different as far as what they’re looking to get out of their method of treatment. Personally, I’m not content with the idea of living with epilepsy forever so medical marijuana has never really appealed to me. I’d much rather pursue methods that tackle the source of the problem and therefore strive for long-term healing.

When I think about my life and how I would prefer things to be in the future, I don’t picture a scenario where a few manageable symptoms still exist. I picture a scenario where I am seizure-free and symptom-free. Not to mention, marijuana also poses the risk of worsening other existing conditions in a person’s brain.

“Marijuana increases the risk of psychosis, in which people lose touch with reality and may experience delusions, hallucinations and paranoia. Marijuana is also associated with chronic psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, in people who are genetically susceptible. Heavy marijuana use can lead these people to experience a psychotic episode two to six years earlier than otherwise. Colorado police have reported two deaths this year (2014) related to psychosis-like episodes in pot users. In March, a 19-year-old African exchange student jumped off a hotel balcony after eating a marijuana cookie. The next month, a Denver man who had purchased marijuana, including an edible form called ‘Karma Kandy,’ began hallucinating and fatally shot his wife” (USA Today).

The reality is, what people are looking to get out of their treatment method varies. Most people do not want a band-aid solution to mask the issue they’re dealing with. Therefore, medical marijuana may not be an appealing option for some. But, if they are like my friend with the brain tumor, it’s very nice to know that medical marijuana does exist as a potential solution. My own precaution is to be very careful when it comes to the treatment type because, as USA Today reports, tragic situations are a risk if the proper care is not taken when dealing with dosage amounts.
