A Bronner a day keeps the Dr. away....

I have been using Dr Bronner's  liquid soap for about 7 or 8 years and now that I think about it I can't exactly remember when and how I came across it or it became such a staple part of my skin care routine.  I say skin care routine like there is some type of orderly regime that I follow but I basically wash my face with Weleda Iris Lotion and then my body with Dr Bronner's - the rose one and the peppermint ones are my faves but you have to mind out for the peppermint in those more sensitive areas!  I had a number of favourite soaps before but now I am convinced that natural, organic and planet friendly are the way to go - and it smells really nice, you can use it as shampoo, you can even clean your teeth with it - I tried this and it is a bit soapy tasting so try this with caution but it does leave those little pegs pearly white.  You can get it from most good health food stores in the UK.

Wash well!
