But because I'm still sick I've decided it would be better to wait another week. Yesterday I did my second Chemical peel, this one for 2 min. My skin is significantly smoother and softer. As for my Cleanse... I've decided to do a month long dietary cleanse, in the healthiest way.... By eating a very high fiber diet, the only part of this cleanse that I'm worried about is that I've been dealing with anemia and hypoglycemia, while the hypoglycemia should be fine since that's sugar related, I fear I won't be getting enough protein or Iron, despite that fact that I'm on a Iron supplement. If I can't do the entire month then I will probably change my plan, otherwise I think I'll be fine. The week after my high fiber cleans I will be doing a liquid fast for one week. A liquid fast isn't like what people normally think of when they think of fasting. A liquid fast is basically a liquid diet, which is much easier to digest than solid food. This is to let my body rest after such an extensive fiber cleanse. I will be posting more on this in the following weeks.
I have also sort of made a promise to Rachel, the youtuber TheRakel749, that I would be sort of doing a dieting/health series alongside hers to keep her company and give her support in her journey as well as mine.

Review: Disana Muslin Facial Cloths
I recently ordered this from ebay, my seller was schoopanella_oznz... Great seller definitely worth checking out!!!! Originally, I wasn't going to do a review on these, but they actually work really well!!! I bought this three pack for about eight dollars minus shipping. These cloths work amazingly!!! Even after using them once, my skin is smoother, softer, and the rest of my acne is clearing up!! I first learned about Muslin cloths from Klaire de Lys... she's amazing and I also recommend her. This link is to her blog, but she also has a youtube. I've been using these for about a week, little less, and their 100% cotton. I hand wash mine, but the package says they can be machine washed ans tumbled dry on low heat. To use these cloths, you simply wet the cloth, wipe your face to wet it, apply your cleaner, NOT EXFOLIATOR!!! These cloths exfoliate your skin naturally! Then wash you face as usual. 10 out of 10.

All Natural Facial Scrubs that You can make at Home!
What you will need:
An Exfoliant: This will be your base.
An Exfoliant can be:(If you can't find these products around your home, you can be sure to find them at your local whole foods store or even in your grocery store.)
Jojoba beads/grains
Coffee Grounds
Finely ground Coconut Shell
Finely ground Pearls... this is great because it adds calcium!
Finely ground Activated Charcoal
Granulated Sugar
Sea Salt... table salt works too, but I prefer iodized sea salt.
Very, Very fine, clean sand... this one I wouldn't recommend... there is just too much that can go wrong and it can be too abrasive.
Exfoliation can also be accomplished through hydration! None of these are a substitute for drinking water, so be sure you drink plenty!
You can use:
Vitamin E oil
Olive oil.... astringent as well...
Sweet Almond oil... astringent
Apricot Kernel oil... astringent
Jojoba oil
Liquid Lanolin... I wouldn't recommend this one, especially if you are allergic to wool or sheep products, it can also be thick and clog pores.
Oatmeal.
Wheat Germ.
Now you will need a binding agent; the oils listed above will work, but if you want something that will: moisturize, soften, cleanse, brighten, or fight acne, then I would try adding one of these products:
Moisturizing:
Honey
Milk
Yogurt
Any oil... though I wouldn't recommend baby oil or mineral oil.
Shea Butter
Coco Butter
Brightening:
Apple Cider Vinegar
Honey
Lemon... any acid fruit really.
Buttermilk
Green Tea
Red Wine
Coco powder
Sake
Cleansing:
Honey
Lemon
Apple Cider Vinegar
Green Tea
Sake
Coco powder
Acne fighting:
Tea Tree Oil
Any astringent oil
Lemon... any acid fruit as long as your skin can tolerate it.
Apple Cider Vinegar... don't use white vinegar... this is too harsh for your skin.
Witchhazel
Sake
Softening:
Any oil
Honey natural
Milk
Yogurt
Shea Butter
So now you can mix these ingredients, pretty much in any combination that you prefer. Just add enough liquid/oil to lubricate the exfoliant and the skin. If you have extra product, just put it into a jar, place in your refrigerator, and be sure to use it within two weeks!
