Care of body and face

 Many believe that putting an earring in the body is just that: put a piece and ready. But they do not consider that when drilling is causing a small wound, which could introduce several viruses and bacteria that could trigger in a myriad of setbacks and risks but is taken care. But do not be alarmed, the care is simple and if you follow as we suggest, soon you can enjoy without hassle of your new perforation.



Premium Handmade Soap Mango Delight 5oz Bar

Cleaning

The body piercings should be cleaned once or twice a day during the healing process, it is best to do so in the morning and at night. Do not clean the area more than twice a day, otherwise irritation may occur and therefore prolong the healing time. If it is only possible to clean it once, it is advisable to do it at night, because it is when the skin is more relaxed.

To wash the perforation, it is advisable to use an antibacterial or neutral soap and water. Before cleaning, wash your hands with an antibacterial liquid soap and hot water. You should never touch an initial perforation with dirty hands, as they could be contaminated to generate an infection.
Before moving the earring, prepare the Humedeciéndola area with hot water, remove the crusts that form around the earring with a cotone. Never try to remove them with your fingernails.

Apply some soap over the area. Clean the area and jewelry, rotate the piece several times, gently back and forth so that the soap penetrates the perforation.

Let the soap stay for a minute in the area, then rinse thoroughly with water so that there is no residue, once again moving the piece.

Afterwards, the area must be dried with a disposable towel, as the cloth towels could "hoard" the bacteria.

You must be patient, each body is different and unique, so the healing can vary from person to person. As long as a discharge of the perforation continues to emerge, it is advisable to continue the same cleaning regimen even if the average healing time has elapsed.

WHAT'S NORMAL?

After drilling, bleeding, bruising, and swelling may occur in the area, but they are not a sign of a complication. Perforating the skin, means separating the tissue, which can react in various ways, varying between each person. To avoid the above, it is advisable to avoid the consumption of aspirin, alcohol and caffeine.

After a new perforation you can feel something uncomfortable, because usually the area has swelling for a few days.

Fluid secretion from blood plasma and dead cells is normal. It's usually a liquid between white and yellow, which forms a kind of crust around the jewelry, it's not pus, so don't be alarmed. This secretion is an indicator that the perforation is healing.

Even if the perforation looks healthy on the outside, it can continue the secretion, now with a stronger liquid, which is a sign that the healing time continues, this internally, as finally the skin of the duct must regenerate completely.

Sometimes the perforations look healthy and suddenly return to their initial state with irritations and annoyances. This is normal.

The feeling that the earring is very tight is normal, do not expect the jewelry to move from one side to the other, especially in the first days.

WHAT TO DO?

It is convenient to wash your hands before drilling. It is best to touch the piercing and the earring only during cleaning.

The workpiece must be left in the perforation during the healing process.

It is advisable to check during cleaning, with clean hands, if the jewellery balls are properly adjusted to the earring.

To show a healthy perforation, the ideal is not to remove and put the earring frequently, otherwise you could hurt the skin.

Wear clean, comfortable clothes that allow you to "breathe" into the perforation.

During the healing time, it is advisable to take a multivitamin containing zinc and vitamin C.
Getting enough rest, taking a nutritious diet, avoiding stress, drugs and alcohol helps to get a faster healing.

If you have to remove your earring for a medical examination, it is best to replace it with a piece of Tygon or Politetrafluorotileno (PTFE) until you can reinsert your jewellery.

If the perforation is irritated, independent of the cleaning, you can use sea salt encouragement or chamomile tea.

Bathing in the shower is healthier than a bath in the tub, as the bacteria could be sheltered. But if you still prefer to take a bath in the tub, it is advisable to clean it first with chlorine or a similar product and, after the bath, rinse the perforation again with clean water.

WHAT NOT TO DO?

Do not use alcohol, merthiolate or oxygenated water, as they are products that can cause irritation and dryness. It is also not advisable to spread ointments with antibiotics, because some of these products cause the oxygen to not reach the "wound" causing complications.

Don't overdo it in the cleanup. Washing the area more than twice a day could delay healing, as you would be eliminating the body's own defenses.

Avoid using different cleaning products, it is ideal to use only neutral or antibacterial soap.
During healing time, it avoids oral contact and other bodily fluids, as well as rough games.

Do not use adhesives (patches or band) on the perforation, as they limit the circulation of air and the glue can hurt and irritate the area.

Initial perforations should not be placed at any source of natural or artificial water such as pools, lakes, Jacuzzis, etc., as usually in these places the water is not clean, which represents a risk of infection for a new perforation.

If you exercise, avoid pressing or pulling the perforation. When you finish exercising, wash the area to prevent sweat from remaining on the wound.

If the perforation presents pus do not remove the jewellery, it helps that this one has exit, also if removing the earring, the holes can close and the result could be an abscess.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH AREA

Navel
Avoid wearing tight clothes or belts that press the perforation. Otherwise, use an adhesive (such as patches used to cover the eyes) over the area, it will help protect it from perspiration and dampen the pressure.

Ear
If you use hair spray, lotion or similar products, do not allow it to come into contact with the perforation. Make sure your pillowcase is clean and if possible avoid using payphones.

Nipple
To not pull or scrape the perforation when sleeping, for men it is advisable to use a cotton shirt and for women a sports bra. If you have pets, prevent them from going up to your bed, so that they do not leave bacteria or lint that can induce an infection, especially during the healing process.

Genital
If you pierce your genitals sexual activity is not banned, but obviously you must have certain care as using condom. There are some that have extra space on the tip, which will help you to accommodate your jewelry. It is also advisable to use a water-based lubricant to facilitate penetration. Although obviously the best thing is to listen to your body, if you feel uncomfortable, the best thing is that you take things calmly and stop doing it for a while.

IS YOUR PERFORATION IRRITATED?

If the skin around the perforation is red or irritated, the water encouragement with sea salt is highly recommended, at least once a day; As well as relieving it helps to accelerate the healing process.

You can dissolve a quart of teaspoon in a cup of clean, hot water; Distilled water is the best choice. If you feel that this solution dries the skin, you can try using 1/8 teaspoon salt. Do not overdo the amount of salt, as it could backfire.

This solution can be applied with a disposable towel or a swab, depending on the area. After the promotion, the perforation must be cleaned again with water and dried. Never turn the earring with salt, as it should only be used externally, not in the "wound".

The promotion of salt, like those of chamomile tea, help to stimulate the circulation of blood and oxygen, thus favoring healing. It is advisable to place the fomentations before the daily activities, this to prevent that during the day the Costritas that are formed around the piece are put in the perforation.

The time of application of the encouragements should be about fifteen minutes. If you put several encouragements during the day, then they can be only for a minute without losing the effectiveness.

Handmade Lavender Soap Bar - 5 oz Cold Pressed Antiseptic Soap Infused with Coconut Oil - Soothing Essential Oils & Fragrant Scents Can Relieve Anxiety & Promote Deep Sleep

Choose your Marseille soap well.

There are many imitations of the soap of Marseilles. That's why it's very important to know what it really is, and how to choose it. There are only 4 companies that manufacture Marseille soap in a traditional way. Therefore, the vast majority of products using the name "Marseille soap" are not really.

To know if your soap is really from Marseille, these are the basic criteria you should analyze:

•     It has no more than 6 ingredients.
•     It has no perfumes or added fragrances.
•     It is green due to large quantity (72%) of olive oil. If white means it is made with palm oil and not olive.
•     It's made in France.

6 uses of Marseille soap.

We advise you to buy the soap in cube of 400 grams or a half kilo. It is more economical and you can leave it with a serrated knife to give it several uses.

Here are some ideas to use your Marseille soap :

    It allows you to replace the bottled shower gel . It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or allergic skins. You can use it for both the hands, the face and the body. Does not dry the skin due to its olive oil base.

    It can be used to scrub dishes. Put some Marseille soap on your scouring pad or in a brush for the crockery and rub 😉 is very efficient and economical.

    It is very good as ecopetS. Wet the stained fabric, rub with soap from Marseille. Leave to act for about 20-30 minutes and clear. If necessary, repeat the process a second time.

    We use it to clean all kinds of surfaces. We use it alone or mixed with water and we use it to clean the shower, worktops, washbasins and sinks or floors. Once you have cleaned the surfaces, we recommend that you pass a cloth or mop with a few drops of white vinegar (only or diluted in water) to shine again.

    It is very efficient as a natural insecticide. Strip the soap and mix 2 tablespoons of hot water in a spray bottle. To eliminate pests, pulverize this mixture into the affected plants.
    Making the laundry soap with your Marseille soap bar is very easy and economical. There is no need to remember that traditional detergents carry many chemicals that can be harmful to your health and the environment. We choose to manufacture our detergent with simple and natural ingredients.

And here we leave you our homemade soap recipe:

340g of grated Marseille soap (the cheese grater works very well 😉 )

A quart of sodium carbonate (or sodium) 85g.

(Careful not to confuse with caustic soda , the formula of sodium Carbonate is Na2CO3. Handle with caution and read the instructions before use)

A quart of baking soda: 85g.

Mix and you already have a natural detergent for the clothes of the whole family. We use between 1 and 2 tablespoons (depending on the type of fabric and if the clothes are very dirty or not) directly on the drum of the washing machine

    Some more tricks:

– If the clothes you are going to wash are white you can add a little sodium percarbonate.
– Instead of the softener we use white vinegar.

In short, Marseille soap is not only good for your skin, it is also the indispensable product in a minimalist and healthy house as it will allow you to reduce the use of chemicals at home.

Body cleansing: Daily hygiene habits

Showering several times a day and oversudsing can be more damaging than not doing it?

On the contrary that may seem to shower too much can behave more disadvantages than benefits. And it is that excessive personal hygiene can eliminate the natural protective barriers of our skin, facilitating the entrance to the microorganisms.



Auromere Bar Soap Tulsi Neem, 2.75 oz (6 Pack)

Although apparently our skin looks clean or think that it is because we have not done physical exercise or have gone to a place with dirt (beach, countryside, Park...) The truth is that our body has a "magnet" to attract dirt; And it is that the oil itself that secretes our skin to protect it from the environment absorbs earth, dust and pollution.

So how can we remove this dirt?

Pay attention to these body cleaning tips:

♦ Soaps:

You must use special soaps that help to "dissolve" that fat that can favor the growth of bacteria and germs. Delicate and creamy soaps are recommended, with natural ingredients, free of chemical substances and without fragrances, that leave no residues and give a feeling of softness and freshness when finishing the bath. Avoid those that dry the skin and are aggressive and look for those with a moderate PH. For its excellent results are ideal for oats, honey, glycerin or argan oil and antibacterial are discouraged, although they are good for washing hands before cooking are not for a daily body use.

plan03-ico-recuerda-30x30 Dose the product: Do not waste enjabonándote too much, as excess soap dissolves even the fat that is necessary to protect the body from external agents.

♦ How do we apply them?

To avoid redness and skin irritation many dermatologists discourage the daily use of sponges, which are degrading with usage, becoming increasingly rough and rough; It is better to "rub" gently with the same hand.

♦ Where do we find them?

From Vitasalud, we have made a careful selection of soaps and shower creams of vegetable origin. Discover them and start taking care of yourself from today!

♦ Water:

It is important that you shower with hot water, because the heat is the one that opens the pores and releases all that accumulated dirt. In the end you can give yourself a few minutes with cold water to close them again and enjoy the feeling of being new.

♦ Every part of our body:

For proper body hygiene you must pay attention to each part of your body, making a detailed tour from the face and hair to the toenails. Don't forget those nooks and crannies that sometimes go unnoticed!

Armpits:

Give special importance to the armpits: it is recommended to wear them shaved, as the hair and moisture in that area are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria that cause the odor. Cleanse and also take care of the genitals: they must be washed daily individually if not with a full shower. In the case of women it is advisable to use intimate soaps, without doing so repeatedly as abusing these products can kill the vaginal flora. Men should also use soaps suitable for the intimate area, removing the glans for proper cleaning.
Nails:

Remember that for nails, very vulnerable to fungal infections, you can help specific brushes whose bristles allow to penetrate inside and clean them in depth, especially if you have a profession that implies a daily contact with certain Substances (Mechanic workshop grease, paints, food handling...). For a complete hygiene keep short, do not bite and apply from time to time oils to nourish them.
The ears:

As for your ears you should clean them gently, without using buds, because it is a very delicate area that can be easily damaged with any minimum pressure. In addition, the swabs push the wax in and can cause hearing problems. The ideal is to use a syringe with saline without introducing it to the inside or use the beeswax cones
The Hair:

As for the washing of the hair, the use of one or another shampoo will depend on various factors as the measurement, the thickness, if it is natural or dyed, if it is strong or brittle, if there are problems like the dandruff... It is enough to give a soapy rubbing the entire surface with the fingertips for at least 2 minutes. Emphasize the root as it is the area where more fat accumulates. Then apply a nourishing mask to give extra hydration and shine and facilitate unwinding.

♦ Rinsing:

A good rinse of the body is essential to remove any product residue, both soap and shampoo. Drying is also an important step in the care of our skin: The best method is to press the skin are soft for the fabric to gradually absorb water.

Never rub quickly and abruptly!

And you see renewing the towels periodically so that they have a soft touch and do not scratch. Dressing without being completely dry can favor the appearance of fungi, so you must dry very well those areas more hidden like the fingers of hands and feet, the back of the knees, the folds of the buttocks...

To dry the hair you must apply the same technique of pressing on the hair and never rub to avoid that the ends are opened.

Exercise:
Do a self-ANALYSIS of your BODY HYGIENE habits

In the next exercise we propose a questionnaire to determine if you carry out some correct habits of corporal hygiene. When you have answered all these questions you will know if your daily routine of cleaning is suitable to show a healthy skin or on the contrary you must change or improve certain customs:

• Do you shower daily?
• How many times a day do you shower?
• Do you apply a quick shower or take a longer bath?
• What kind of soap do you use?
• Do you use a sponge, a mitten or a hand?
• When you shower, do you pay attention to every part of your body or sometimes in the haste you forget to wash some area?
• Do you use fingernail brushes?
• Do you use ear buds?
• Do you exfoliate sometime a week?
• What is the ritual for drying the body and hair?
• Are your towels in good condition? (Make a review!)

Council!: Although we all love to be able to give a relaxing bath you should know that it is better to take a quick shower, because the less time we are in contact with the water less will dry the skin. You can do it occasionally, but don't take it as a daily routine. Save on time and money and your skin will thank you!

Mistral Luxury Bar Soap Organic Coconut Oil and Mango Seed Butter - Vanilla Flower - Made in France, 5.2 Ounces

It takes a year to wash alone with water and ensures that it is completely clean

Does that sound like ' What the clouds smell '? It has a very simple answer: simply, the clouds do not smell absolutely anything. Except for the advertisers of the compresses ads, of course. However, the human body does smell, and much, but, from the French channel of Youtube Le Corps La Maison L'esprit Laetitia, propose the definitive solution: according to the YouTuber protagonist, Water is the only product that is needed to wash our body. Not one more. To deepen the subject, Dr. Rosa Ortega, President of the Andalusian section of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) and professor of dermatology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Granada, has reacted to The claims of the French girls. But let's go for parts.



Mistral Luxury Bar Soap Organic Coconut Oil and Mango Seed Butter - Vanilla Flower - Made in France, 5.2 Ounces

Laetitia opened her vlog to explain her daily experiences, molded based on a more humble lifestyle than usual. The videos on recycling, self-esteem, hygiene and food are the order of the day, but she has worked the formula. In fact, it does not differ much from what any YouTuber does, only that, instead of gameplays or yoga Classes, Laetitia speaks unscrupulously about her everyday habits.

A year ago, this young woman had an epiphany: it was better to live in a simple way. Despite residing in Marseille, home to the famous soap homonym, said not to trust the composition of the product, so he decided to start dispensing with it. In addition, he says that in order to avoid the dryness of the skin-she lives in an area where the water has a lot of lime, it is enough to spread some olive oil. In short, water seems to be enough to maintain the hygiene and health of the skin. In the video appears next to another French YouTuber that has a channel called the Carologie and has the same habit of grooming Laetitia.

However, according to Dr. Ortega, "There are places where the water is very alkaline, it has many salts and it produces dryness and itching in the skin, which are prevented with the use of soaps without detergents or oils of shower and, later, with a moisturizing cream". In this sense, the water itself, although lava, would be short to counteract its own effects of dryness, because it contains negative elements for the body. Therefore, the use of alternative products would be vital to maintain a 100% healthy skin.

Of the gel of the whole life, Laetitia was passed to the Ghassoul, a clay produced in Morocco which, supposedly, is very good for the skin. But, because the product was expensive and asking for it was a mess, decided to ignore it and stay alone with the water. With this new technique, which he kept secret at first, Laetitia discovered that neither she nor the people around her perceived bodily smell. In addition, it related this effect directly with its diet: it ensures that the absence of meat and of packaged products reduces the strong smells. From Granada, the dermatologist maintains that the sweat itself does not smell, but it is the bacteria of the outside which ' contaminate ' the sweat glands, causing that characteristic bad odour. Although there are foods that do condition the natural smell inherent in each one, such as onion, garlic or spices. According to the theory of YouTuber, an omnivore would have more complicated to wash with water, but everything points to that food does not influence as much as she thinks.

According to Laetitia, after a dirtier activity, the best thing is to scrape glove and water to wash. Nothing else. If it is not shaved-especially in the genital area-the glove also helps. This part of the body is also especially sensitive to soap, and she assures that it is perfectly capable of cleaning without any fault. Water is also the solution to the problems derived from visiting the service, because the paper is unhygienic. In this line, Dr. Ortega explains the functioning of the sweat glands of the body to refute the theory of the YouTuber: within this great conglomerate of glands, we find the eccrine and the apocrine. The latter, present in areas as delicate as armpits, groins and genitals, should be washed daily with soap and water, as they are more sensitive to the influence of external agents that enhance the odor.

The YouTuber does not use soap to wash the face, and is based on the absence of grains to corroborate their explanation. He says that when he was young and he used soap, he always showed up. "Acne comes out primarily in youth. Also by using very fatty soaps that are not suitable for the type of skin you have, "says dermatologist. "Perhaps the young woman's problem was her own youth or the use of inappropriate soaps."

Clean water? Of course you do, but you need an escort to complete the task. "Most of the dirt we can have in our body is not water-soluble (it does not dissolve in waters) and therefore is not eliminated alone with this one. These other substances, which are fat-soluble and even fat, need the use of soaps and water to dissolve and eliminate the body, "says Dr. Ortega. In fact, for those who are concerned about soaps with detergents in their composition, recommends Syndet soaps, which serve to treat sensitive, dehydrated, dry and itchy skins.

From Le Corps La Maison L'esprit Laetitia try to defend the importance of preserving the natural smell. Of course, it is important to maintain that natural essence that makes us unique. As we have been told from the University of Granada, the natural smell exists and is determined by our own genetics, but it does not go away by applying soap and water. In fact, both products are necessary for thorough cleaning. The way of life and the saving system of this girl is respectable, but it can bring negative consequences and, worse still, influence people who do not know the subject. And that is, to give our opinion, does not necessarily make us professionals.

100% ORGANIC ULTRA CLEAR TRANSPERENT GLYCERIN Soap Base by Velona | Melt & Pure all Natural Bar For The Best Result | Size: 5 lb

How does the soap clean the dirt?

The structure of the soap molecules allows them to remove dirt easily. They are formed by a chain of hydrocarbons, with a sodium or potassium atom at the end.

The end of the hydrocarbon chain is attracted to grease and rejects water, while the other end attracts water.



100% ORGANIC ULTRA CLEAR TRANSPERENT GLYCERIN Soap Base by Velona | Melt & Pure all Natural Bar For The Best Result | Size: 5 lb

When you wash your hands, the greasy dirt particles are surrounded by soap molecules, and the ends of the hydrocarbon chain that are attracted to the water are facing outwards.

This breaks down the dirt, which is washed away by the water. Once after bathing we have asked ourselves: how much sebum do we lose when we wash our bodies?

Sebum is a mixture of oils and waxes that exudes our skin to lubricate its surface and to limit the growth of bacteria.

This does not require a large amount: even the most fatty areas of the body such as the head, produces about 0.03 mgr of sebum per square centimeter of skin per hour (in an adult individual). If you are a teenager with acne, this amount can be three times higher.

One person, on average, has a skin area of ​​about 1.8 square meters. If we assume that the body produces about half the tallow produced by the head, that means that the total production is 6,500 mgr in a 24-hour period.

Depending on how hot the shower water is and how vigorously we scrub with the sponge, one loses about half. That is, about 3 grams. In the case of adolescents, they can lose between 9 and 10 grams.

MIXED SCENTS: Case of 12 bars Pre de Provence 250g - Customize with your Choice of Scents

Nowadays, our houses are full of chemical cleaning products of the most varied, many of them toxic to our organism and contaminants of the aquifers of the planet, fundamental for our life.

In this week's program we talk about how to clean your house avoiding toxic chemicals for you and your family, and in a very economical way:

If you prefer audio, listen here This program of the secretary of Radio Agüimes where we participate with this section living conscious.


The problem of toxic and polluting cleaning products

The reports issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention point out that in one person there are hundreds of pollutants.

Many of these substances are frequent in any household, through paints, varnishes, cleaning products, fragrances, plastics, air fresheners, etc.

In fact, according to the US environmental Protection agency, the concentration of these chemical compounds in closed places such as houses is more than double that outside.

Many of the toxins that contain the cleaning products end up passing to the organism through the inhalation of those compounds or by contact with the skin.

In addition to the toxic effect they can have separately, the cocktail effect is uncontrollable by mixing compounds with others.

On the other hand, by pouring them at home by the sinks of sanitary ware, kitchen, etc. You incorporate them into the sewer system, compromising water treatment systems and their dumping to nature.

How to avoid chemical exposure in your home

The good news is that this toxic exposure is totally preventable.

In terms of cleaning products, you can have your house clean using a few natural cleaning products and some tricks.

You save money and, above all, you avoid polluting your health and that of the environment.

The downloadable ebook "Home without Toxic", by Carlos Prada, raises some general ideas that I also use and recommend:

•     Natural ventilation: The best way to reduce volatile contaminants, those that enter our body when breathing.
•     Air Purifiers: There are appliances that purify the internal air of the houses. I haven't tried them, but I know it's especially convenient in cases of allergies or respiratory problems like asthma.
•     Productos de limpieza naturales para un hogar sin tóxicos - Drácena
•     Purifying plants: There seems to be certain plants capable of capturing some contaminants. So explains it un informe that published the Nasa already in 1989.
•     These plants are, among others, the peace Lily, Ivy, trunk of Brazil, Chrysanthemum, Dracena, ribbon, Poto, aloe vera, Ficus, gerbera, etc.
•     Eliminate or reduce the sources of exposure: In terms of cleanliness, the recommendation is to avoid cleaning chemicals.

Alternatives to Cleaning chemicals: first step

If we consider the Council to eliminate or reduce exposure to cleaning chemicals, the question is how can you keep your home clean by avoiding harmful cleaning products for your health and that of the planet?

As the book "Home without Toxics" says, the idea is to clean without chemically soiling.
A belief that has been strongly rooted in our culture thanks to television advertising, mainly, is that ' smelling of chemistry is not smelling clean '. But they are very different things. For something to be clean it doesn't have to have a specific fragrance, and even less chemistry.

From my experience, the first step is to replace the chemicals you currently use for their natural or ecological version.

Careful, because a chemical can be advertised as natural if it carries a small portion of natural extract from a plant.

It is best to buy organic products in herbalists or ecological stores, as these tend to have more demanding ecological certificates .

There are some Spanish brands of ecological cleaning products such as:

•     Beltrán Soaps (its certified ecological range).
•     SolyEco (formerly Copán) which is a cooperative whose products contain no perfumes or preservatives or colorants. As far as I know, some of their products do contain some mild chemical surfactants.

I've tried both brands with good results.

Best known is the house Ecover, Belgium, which was the first ecological cleaning brand I used, and I liked it too.

There is also the Pure Natureonline Shop, which specializes in hypo-allergenic, ecological and non-toxic products. It is a German company, born following the diagnosis of a relative with multiple chemical sensitivity (SQM), and that controls that the products are safe for people with allergies and other environmental illnesses.

To avoid generating so much plastic waste to the planet, it is interesting to consider these options:

•     Buy Bulk Cleaning productssuch as those provided In Green Goccia. I would only recommend its hypoallergenic range, which contains no aroma.
•     Use soap in pill, either purchased or do it yourself (I still do not, but everything will walk 🙂). This soap is pill can then grate so that it is easier to dilute it, or even make liquid soap from it (I will publish recipe!).

Alternatives to Cleaning chemicals: Second Step

Although I still use some of the organic products that they sell in herbalists, I have to admit that it is because of a simple belief that if it is a specific product to wash clothes or make some foam when scrubbing the crockery will be cleaner.

In any case, my tendency, and what I consider to be more ecological and healthy for all, is the use and combination of some natural products that we all have at home and that are very effective and economical.

These basic ingredients are:

•     Vinegar: degreases (contains acetic acid, which reduces and cuts the fat), removes stains, is bactericidal, eliminates lime, etc. Besides, the smell goes off when it dries, so you don't have to worry if you dislike it.
•     They say that to clean it is better to use white vinegar because it is more potent, but I have no more information about it. If anyone knows anything else and tells me I will be very grateful!
•     For me it is best to use a vinegar that comes in glass bottle, more ecological and healthy, as discussed in the article on healthy plastic bottles and glass . Productos de limpieza naturales - Vinagre, bicarbonato y limón
•     Bicarbonate: It can be found as mineral in nature or artificially produced cheaply and respectfully with the environment. It is biodegradable, inexpensive and non-toxic; And among many other properties is bactericidal, abrasive for stains and deodorant.
•     You can learn more about baking soda in This publication of Ediciones Obelisco.
•     Lemon: Contains essential oils and bioflavonoids. It is antioxidant, removes stains and has a refreshing smell.

And these are some of their uses as cleaning products:

Washing clothes

Says Irene Bueno in this interview that performs Ana Moreno, which can simply be used 4 to 6 tablespoons of bicarbonate as detergent, vinegar as softener and lemon if we want an extra white result for washing white clothes.

What I usually use is a little organic soap for washing machine with 2 or 3 tablespoons of bicarbonate. And if I want to have some aroma echo a few drops of lavender essence in the container for the softener.

There is No need for softener as the bicarbonate acts asan anticalc, although it could also pour vinegar as a softener for greater action against lime.

For white clothes, I have also tried with good results to soak a while with hot water and oxygenated water, before washing it in the washing machine.

Wash Nutsare also well known. I have not tried them, as they are nuts from India and Nepal, and although for them I think the best option, I do not think for me is the most ecological considering the distance.

Scrubbing the floor

To scrub the floor you can use half a glass of vinegar in a cube of lukewarm water.

If the floor is made of marble or wood (which may have varnish) replace the vinegar with a little neutral soap (purchased artisanal, with certified organic or homemade).

I like to add a little bit of soap also in the bucket of water and vinegar, with a few drops of essence if I want to leave that whiff.

Clean the Crystals
Where I live for crystals I have to use plenty of water with some soap for the outside Windows.

But for interior glass just use vinegar directly on a dry cloth.

Scrubbing the crockery

Water with vinegar or lemoncan be used directly to wash cookware . What I do is I create my own dishwasher by mixing in a pot a little neutral soap, vinegar and water.

I do not fry or cook with animal fat that can be more difficult to clean, but if ever some food sticks a bit I leave a while soaking with warm vinegar.

In the blog of Eva (affected by multiple chemical sensitivity), also mentions that to scrub dishes is more hygienic to use a brush than a scourer.

Clean the bathroom

For the bathroom use my own mixture of water, vinegar, a little bicarbonate and a little natural soap (for that to see the Espumita).

And for the toilet, the trick is to pour some bicarbonate and then vinegar (create some froth with the effervescence), let it act a bit and then rub and rinse.

This method for the toilet, using more amount of bicarbonate and vinegar is really effective for unclogging pipes.

Clean the Dust

I have prepared in a sprayer a mixture of water put some vinegar (little because it can damage the lacquer or varnish, but never happened). I'm moistening a microfiber cloth and cleaning the surfaces.

If there is any stain that resists a little more, soaked more cloth and rub with more intensity, simply. Nothing resists! 🙂

Other cleaning uses

Both vinegar and bicarbonate can also be used to brighten silver, clean oxides, remove lime from coffee maker and faucets, etc.

In addition, the mixture mentioned to clean the bath, water with a little vinegar, bicarbonate (and my touch of natural soap:-)) can also be used for other surfaces such as bathroom tiles and kitchen, kitchen countertop, etc.

How to properly clean the vagina

The skin of the vagina is very sensitive and to many people perfumed soaps also cause irritation or itching.



Soap Works Coal Tar Bar Soap, 8-Count with Free Soap Works Natural Wood Soap Dish

It is an area where the skin is as delicate as the face. And not taking care of it can lead to infections that are so difficult to treat that they can not be cured with medicines. But perhaps many women have never received that fundamental lesson: how to perform their intimate hygiene.

"Low genital infections and all the problems of the vulva, stool, irritation, are very frequent and are very difficult to treat," gynecologist Natalia Pérez told BBC Mundo.

These infections are alterations of the set of microorganisms called vaginal flora or microbiota, and the crucial thing, at the time of hygiene, is to preserve the delicate balance of these microorganisms.

"The skin of the vulva is very delicate, it is almost similar to that of the face and we constantly attack it, because we use daily protectors, tight clothes or underwear that is not correct," warned Dr. Pérez, assistant professor of tract genitalia in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay.

What exactly is the vaginal flora and what are the basic hygiene tips to protect it?

"Acid" flora

The vagina has an acid ph, a natural defense against infections. The vagina has a whole microsystem of defenses "because it is prepared for intercourse trauma".

The vaginal microbiota is then "the one that will defend us from all the microorganisms that are pathogenic and that cause us disease".

The problem arises when there are changes such as bacterial vaginosis, which is nothing more than the alteration of the vaginal microbiota, according to Dr. Pérez.

"Instead of being in the right amount some germs, instead of being in the normal amount, increase in quantity because it just decreases the ph or increases the ph".

Bacterial vaginosis does not produce inflammation but a white grayish medium flow.

"The characteristic is that people come and say I have a bad smell, they speak of a pungent odor, a fishy smell and what there is is an alteration of the flora".

No perfumed soaps or colored clothes

What practical advice does Dr. Pérez offer for intimate female hygiene?

1. Do not use scented soaps

"You should not use perfumed soaps because they have substances that alter the vaginal flora," says the gynecologist.

"Soap astringent soaps that have a lot of caustic soda that kills vaginal flora, such as soaps that are called laundry bars, should not be used either."

vagina

The appropriate soaps are then those of glycerin, or those soaps "specific for intimate hygiene that now are like a shampoo, especially to wash the vulva".

"There are specific soaps for intimate hygiene that do so is to increase lactobacilli, the main germ of our microbiota."

The skin of the vulva is very sensitive and to many people perfumed soaps also cause irritation or itching.

2. Only water?

Specific soaps are tested on various types of skin and generally do not cause problems.

"But when a patient already has alterations in the skin of the vulva, it is right to remove all the possible irritants of the vulva, that is why in some people any kind of soap is discouraged and the washing is indicated only with water".

"This is usually until all the symptoms have passed or in people who have a lot of allergy, not all of them."

3. Keep the skin of the vulva and vagina as ventilated as possible

Dr. Pérez recommends "do not use daily protectors, or use only those that can maintain a flow of ventilation or air.There are some that are specific for that and have a plot that is not so closed, it does not leave the vagina and the vulva, so to speak, as covered. "

The expert also advises sleeping without underwear or with very loose underwear, since the humidity and excessive heat can also be harmful.

"You have to accustom the girls to try to sleep without underwear, nobody says that you walk naked, without some short of pajamas as loose as possible so that this area is ventilated, otherwise it is like having a part of the organism permanently covered, that area suffers ".

4. Always wash from front to back

"We women have the urethra, the vagina and the anus, and from the anus to the vagina one can drag germs that also colonize the vagina and alter the vaginal flora with bugs that do not have to be there."

5. Wear cotton and white underwear

"The fabric has to be made of cotton just so as not to gather heat, so as not to leave that area covered because the cotton has a mesh that lets the air pass," Dr. Pérez explained to BBC Mundo.

The Uruguayan gynecologist also warns about the use of very tight jeans.

And he points out that "it is better that the underwear be white or beige, sometimes the colored clothes are dyed with products that do not alter the flora, but in general the anilines used to dye can also alter the flora".

The black underwear, in addition, "produces heat in that area".

6. Change tampons at least every four hours

Dr. Pérez recommends, as much as possible, not to put anything in the vagina, but if tampons are used, it is essential to make a correct replacement.

"You can not leave a lot of time because it's a reservoir of blood, it should be changed at least every four hours."

"There are people who forget and spend a day with a tampon and that causes infections."

7. Do not wash inside the vagina

"There are people who are very obsessive about hygiene and wash themselves inside the vagina, that drags all the flora, kills all its vaginal flora."

"They are people who have a lot of flow problems and will have problems of low genital infections in the future."

"There are people who go to urinate and wash, you have to wash only once a day with a suitable soap."

8. Do not use a bidet

Washing in a bidet "is bad because it helps all the germs of the anus to spread all over the perineum and to enter the vagina".

That is why it is generally said that urinary infections are genitourinary, "because they can be germs that are in the vagina and go to the urethra." As it is an area where everything is together, you have to take care of it a lot ".

"Put the flora ready"

When infections in the vagina arise, ovules are usually recommended, "some tablets that are put in the vagina that are generally antibiotics," explained the doctor.

"What they do is kill the microorganisms that we have, for example, when we have a fungus, the most frequent is candidiasis, we also send ovules, we can also send antibiotics orally, but this is continuously altering our flora, because We kill that little mushroom, we also kill others that are inside our vaginal microbiota ".

The flow is a very constant symptom that "only with drug treatment we do not cure it, because it is an alteration of your flora".

"Until you put the flora to the point and in the right state, the symptom will not be cured."

8 body parts that you always forget to wash when you bathe with soap

These are the parts of the body that you always forget to clean and this makes them the perfect broth for bacteria and infections.



Crate 61 Oatmeal & Shea Soap 3 pack, 100% Vegan Cold Process, Ideal for dry skin, for men and women, face and body. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer

When we bathe or clean, it is easy to think that with just rubbing a bar of soap more or less homogeneous on the body we will be clean. While this may be true in some cases, it also happens that very often we forget to wash some body parts that often accumulate many bacterias.

These are 8 of the areas of the body that most people forget to clean up more often, make sure you're not one of them!

Back

Because of the difficulty of reaching some parts of the back, we usually do very superficial cleanings when we wash the back. The best thing would be to buy a special brush to wash your back or make your partner rub you with an exfoliating sponge or cloth 2 or 3 times a week to avoid developing skin infections.

Scalp

You don't need to wash your hair every day, but you must pay attention to your scalp daily. It is important to rub and massage the scalp every day to prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells, a breeding ground for mites and bacteria.

Under the fingernails

The area under the fingernails accumulates a lot of germs and if you don't wash it when you bathe or clean your hands, you're not doing a very good job. As far as possible, try to clean this region with soap, warm water and a cotton swab.

Behind your Ears

It may not look like much, but the back of the ears can accumulate a lot of fat and dirt, because it is filled with glands that secrete bait. If you don't clean it every day when you wash your face, it can produce moisture and bad smell, as well as a bacerias broth.

Navel

The high temperature of the navel, as well as its corners and crevices make it an ideal place to accumulate bacteria and dirty. Clean daily with a wet swab in alcohol or warm water and soap.

The plant and the sides of your feet

The soap that drains from the rest of your body is not enough to wash your feet properly while you bathe. You need to rub the plant and the sides of your feet, as well as the inside of your fingers. You must wash and dry every time you bathe to avoid fungi.
Elbows and wrinkles

How many times have you consciously washed your elbows? Probably seldom, it's easy to ignore the elbows, but you should avoid it. The elbows are the part of the body with which we support on dirty surfaces such as worktops, desks and restaurant tables, and a dry elbow full of cracks allows the passage of bacteria to your body. Clean with sponges or towels daily.

Neck

If you live in a hot place or exercise often, the nape of the neck is a warm, moist region that attracts mites and bacteria. Wipe with soap and water when you bathe or with wet towels.

Cleaning our body properly takes a little more time and effort than most people think, but if you make it a habit you will be able to keep even the hardest corners clean without major problems.
