I have been using oatmeal to wash my face with, it leaves it very soft and is very calming to the skin. I just put old fashioned oats into my blender and process until it is very fine and powdery, I also add 1 chamomile and 1 green tea teabag and process it a little bit more. To use you just make a paste using a little water and apply to your wet skin, then rinse if off. Love your videos.
I knew it. Nature has just everything in store for us. Thank for keeping it simple for us. I have a request that you do a video on care of Peppermint and Spearmint care and how they differ in taste, their properties, and so on.... Thank you for reading it.
I just found your channel and love it! Im also a soap maker and have a small business selling natural skincare. It is so nice to see others like myself that seek to educate folks on how to be healthier and more sustainable. Another great mask to make with bentonite clay is to mix it with yogurt and apply to face, especially acne prone areas. It makes the skin so soft afterwards.
I know this video is older but, OMG 😲 😭 you poor thing, thats horrible to deal with! Especially just after child birth, and then not wanting to have another child because of the issues and pain afterwards from the skin issue. Thats so sad. Im so happy you found something that works well for you and are shareing it now! Ive never had to many issue when i was pregnant but i did have some weird small rashes here and there, or my immune system would crash and id get super sick, and i was very anemic, my iron was so low. But that was it. But i couldnt imagine dealing with all that you went through. Then trying to care for a baby! But, i love that you share all these things with us. And to possibly help someone else that might be going through what you went through is so considerate of you! God bless! I love your videos!
I do not have oily skin and breakouts... but that's what got me into natural products. Because I DEFINITELY break out, itch, and have allergic reactions to almost all make up, especially foundations. Nothing makes me breakout like foundation! Bare Minerals was a product that I could use, but sometime in their history they switched up their formula and now it bothers my skin as well. :/ Glad to find these videos. I have eczema all over, and I'm looking for ways to calm it and rosacea down.
I keep manuka honey on hand. You have to be careful to get good quality with a high enough UMF factor to get the antibacterial benefits. It is awesome. If I feel a sore throat coming on, it usually stops it and I don’t wind up getting sick. The brand I have is Summer Glow. Great video! Thank you!
I soak sage in coconut oil till the oil is green, and use that on my skin. It helps me a lot. :) I hope to grow enough Calendula flowers now to add that in as well. Hugs!
Hey! Thanks for all the great info!! Ive had acne my whole life & always try natural diy recipes, ive tried manuka honey & bentonite clay, and on other occasions raw honey, my skin is to sensitive to just let the clay dry. My friend used the manuka honey and oregano oil to heal a staph infection that turned into MRSA!!
Just thought I would add something to the above comment. I am 55 and have had acne all my life until the age of about 50. The acne I had was not just small pimples but deep, hard pimples that when they finally came to the surface left scars. At around the age of 50, I started educating myself about food and all the additives in it. One of the first things I did was cut out all processed foods. And I mean ALL processed foods! The next thing I did was start reading labels and cutting out anything that had carrageenan as an ingredient. Carrageenan is a carcinogen and a gut disruptor among other things. It causes inflammation in your body and therefore I decided I was not ingesting it anymore. About four months after cutting out carrageenan, I was looking in the mirror putting my makeup on and realized I had not had any deep acne for the last couple months and overall I had no acne really to speak of. I'm not sure why it took me this long to notice it! I realized that the time frame corresponded to the same timeframe I had no longer been ingesting carrageenan-added products. I now know that it was my body trying to get rid this toxin. I might add that I also used to have lots of acne on my back and my shoulders and all of that has disappeared too! I kid you not, in the last 4.5 - 5 years, I have had maybe a dozen pimples and they have been basically the small little surface type. I have not had one deep boil-like pimple in all that time. So I think treating the surface of your skin with things like bentonite clay and essential oils is awesome but I think we have to look deeper to the cause and eliminate that if we truly want clear skin. Hopefully this will help someone else! Sorry for the book!
I use the oil cleansing method (which not everyone loves). I use castor (always) mixed with whatever oil is best for the season. Jojoba and sunflower are my favs. I infuse the oils with various things (like red clover, burdock, rose... and chamomile, coffee, elder leaf for dark eye circles) but always include calendula for eczema/dryness. I wash my face with that, then use a dab again to moisturize afterwards if it needs it. Once a week I do a plain honey mask. My 13-year old is getting acne, and my husband has it sometimes (my oil method works well but I'm always looking for mask ideas or something to dab on a problem spot). I love the info and will definitely use it. Thank you Heidi!
Have you looked into food allergies regarding acne & eczema? Think either Dr Wallach or Dr Mercola ... especially if acne is on cheeks. I have "Lichten" eczema on my cuticles from dairy & wheat/ gluten ... doctors for 6 weeks b4 a biopsy ID'd it. The only other issue was itchy skin around my hip bone area every winter. Wish I'd found this info a long time ago! Cosmetic peeps want to treat my skin as oily but that only makes it worse. Treating as normal to dry was way better!
Bentonite. I have used it on clients for a detox body wrap, this method is useful when trying to lose weight too. Very popular. Also use for Acne. For a facial for sensitive skin, add honey, or an egg yolk to the bentonite, or use calamine powder instead of bentonite
Heidi, Rick uses the foot powder that you made with tree tea oil and it has helped with eczema on his feet, and when he sweats he brakes out more. We use a lot of rose water on our face and now we use your soap off and on.
IV had dermititis since I was a kid and honestly was told you'll have it your whole life and I never really cared beyond that but now I'm at a point where the rashy skin does bother me because it iratates my skin when I shave so now I just try to not shave as much as possible but it's no fun if I want to wear shorts out in public 😂 but I'm more serious about a treatment. Thank you for this video.
I stopped the vid at 5:16 to say Im sorry you went thru all the skin issues. I know personally how painful it can be. Also im sorry some people can be so rude. Anyway...i'll go get some paper&pencil and finish watching the vid. ☺
I guess I haven’t watched this one either! There’s been a lot of times where I’ve been outside and didn’t have anything and I’ll just put plain mud on a bug bite!
I like using 50/50 mix of ACV and water on my face after washing it...it removes any residue and dry skin. It's very good for any itchy or rashy skin I may get.
This is kinda advanced for me. I do need recipes and to watch the process. I realize you have a store, but don't think most people will make their own. I also buy from natural sources with small businesses.
Yes, a lot of people buy my skin cream but there are also quite a few that have made it for themselves using my recipe. It is not that hard and the good thing about making your own is you can tailor it to suit YOUR needs. Such as the person that recently contacted me about my skin cream asking if I sold any without lavender, which I do not, since the infused oil I make has lavender and other herbs but they could simply make their own by leaving out the lavender when they infuse the oil (which is super easy to do).
Skin issues: generally staying out of dairy (ice cream! ) & corn & wheat products helped the most with eczema & itching. HOWEVER my first summer here n Ohio was my first experience with Chiggers. I added some tea tree, clove, frankensence, myrrh & ylang ylang EO to avocado & coconut oil. It really helped plus repelled bugs. Amazingly my chiro said to rub some iodine (supplement) on skin. Wow did that ever knock out the redness!
Very interesting video! My 30 year old daughter has been having lots of migraines, breaking out in hives, can’t sleep, hair falling out, etc. She is big in vaccines, meds, etc. They gave her steroids and now more meds. 😢I can’t help but think she needs to get away from that stuff and go more natural.
Bentonite drying us “closing” the pores. Actually it just try’s to keep pore from enlarging with age. Honey is good. But let the masque dry take a piece of soft material press it on the face rub gently . Turn on clean side an clean again. Rinse. 😊❤
Heidi. Off topic... One day a year we are reminded that ABBA YHWH breathed life into us through the breath he breathed into Adam & HAVA ( EVE). IF we had no purpose we would not be alive. We would not be at all. What a blessing to know he planned for each of us even more than for the birds & bees. Thank you ABBA YHWH.
Hi Heidi I've been looking for a toner recipe that doesn't call for any preservatives but all I've found are ones with. Could you possibly help me out? Do you use any kind of preserves in toners especially water based ones?
I have! But I want to make my own with my own floral hydrosols. But I can't find any recipes that are "shelf stable" without a preservative because of the water. And I can't find any solid info if I put glycerin if it'll preserve it
I love your videos Heidi, they are so informative! I would love to know if you know anything about how to get rid of permanent dark circles under the eyes? I thought for years it was because I rubbed my eyes so hard when I removed eye liner. but I haven't wore makeup of any kind for 6 years now, and the dark circles won't go away. Do you have any ideas...? I've tried all kinds of scrubs, massages, cucumbers, teas...etc., but they are still there....looking horrible. lol so any suggestions would be awesome! thanks again, I really look forward to your videos. :)
This is a good question and certainly one I will try to look into. It is possible you could be missing some important nutrients that could be causing the dark coloring.
@@RainCountryHomestead yea, I'm allergic to the broccolli family...so I take a mineral supplement once a week or so, but I eat pretty healthy for the most part. I do have a cheezit addiction, I'm working on....lol

Hi there. Help!! Do you have any thoughts or recipe to help cracked heals. I suffer from it badly every now and then. It's disabling and I find as it changes your gate it then affects your back and other pains occur. Would love a recipe to help me with this. Thanks. Bye.
I use my homemade skin cream on my heals when they start to crack. I try to keep up on it too so it prevents them from cracking again. It has worked wonders. When they are really dry and cracked, the first thing I do is use 60 grit sand paper to sand my heels. This is more gentle than scrapers. You can also use a pumas stone but sand paper is often easier to find. Then I apply the skin cream and put my socks on over. If they are real bad, repeat the application again in the evening and put clean socks on before going to bed but do not sand again, you do not want to sand or scrape too often or one can remove too much skin and then make the problem worse
Do you have any videoe showing how you make Colloidal silver and copper? If you don’t would you consider making one? What about the dangers of turning blue from using silver?
I did but had to remove them from youtube. I will be making a new one to put up on Rumble soon. Argyria is a very rare condition but when taken internally, one simply needs to use in moderation
No, I do not sell the shampoos or other such liquid items as they cost a lot to ship but I sell my soaps and skin cream. You can find the shampoo recipe video in the links, it is very easy to make your own
I will send you my updated video on natural skin care and how I take care of my dry skin which also should include the recipe to my own skin cream that I have been usinua-cam.com/video/wfBOPlzSujE/v-deo.htmlg for at least 8 years or more in the description box:
@@RainCountryHomestead can this be used on a daily basis and for all over my body including my legs and hands? Do you sell this if so how can I purchase it?
@@sylviajohnson373 I use every single day on my face and anywhere else I need it. Yes, I do sell it but also have an instructional video where you can make it yourself if you want. However, if you want a product list with the sizes and scents I sell, email me at raincountryhomestead@gmail.com and I will send you that list
I suffer from really dry skin eczema, allergies en asthma. I also have eczema in the corners of my mouth that rip every time and heal very slowly. For this reason I want to use an all natural foundation, but the recipe you put on UA-cam felt really drying to me. Do you have a recipe or idea for an all natural and self made foundation that doesn't dry out the skin.
Foundation is not something I use other that the rare use of the powder, so I do not have any recipes for you, sorry. However, I did go take a look at Wellness Mama's page because she always has great DIY recipes and I found this: wellnessmama.com/27328/liquid-foundation-recipe/
How do I know that my colloidal silver is "done"???🤓 Skin cream I found my tallow to be excellent, whipped, some EOs in.... good use for tallow, or it would get really old otherwise .
@@RainCountryHomestead it looked like nothing after an hour and a half, then I sort of forgot it til oh 5 hours later 🤓 still was very water-like, but on the bottom were dark spots where the rods were (no they didn't touch the jar bottom). Filled into dark brown jars and called it done. Did I tell you: you rock! Thank God for you!!!!
@@kleineroteHex hmmm, so you had the three batteries connected together and an alligator clip on a positive of one battery and a negative on the other? You should have been able to actually see something within the first few minutes of running it. You would have seen a silvery "cloud" coming off one of the rods, but only one - I never can remember if it is from the positive lead or the negative though.
@@kleineroteHex Here is the video Patrick did on the generators and in it he shows the silver in the process. You can see the cloudiness coming off the one bar. I have copied it from the 10:42 time stamp so hopefully this link should take you right to that part in the video: ua-cam.com/video/i_Jyf-vLYAs/v-deo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead oh, yes, it was a bit of fog from only one, just the water itself never really seemed to change, so let it go. And yes on the rest of the how to.

Anything that helps with sebhorric dermatitis? A fungal thing but drs not 100% apple cider vinegar helps a little on the nose/ears but would like to stop using stinky pinetarsol shampoo
With fungal infections especially, what works for one may not work for another. Here is a list of natural oils that can help: turpentine (100% pure gum spirts only), clove, thyme, tea tree, oregano, neem. Castor oil is also good but very thick so mixing it with any of the previous oils will provide a carrier oil for them as well as making it easier to use and absorb
I have no idea because it shouldn't. I rarely sell anything out of the country unless it is a special request so all my items are listed as US only. Are you sure you are in the right store?
I hate pesticides. I quit using them and heavy commercial fertalizers. When I did this I got frogs and toads that eat my bugs right off my roses and small beneficial garden variety snakes that take care of rodents like rats & mice. Of course, nothing works better than cats for mice. Without cat's we'd be over run with mice. Don't use poisons because people's pets can invariably get into it. Neighbors dog in his own fenced yard got a hold of mice that the other neighbor had baited for and the dog nearly died twice. It cost them as much as a new car to save their precious pets life. So, please people do not put poison down you never know who's child's pet your killing. Save our bee population; no pesticides. Use natural remedies or what God intended. He put controls in place and I love seeing all the wildlife and dragonflies. I have a frog bog and no mosquitos. Have cute ferocious little frogs and garden toads for nice plants and roses; no or very few bugs. Your channel is always a joy; May you prosper.
As stated in this video, I stopped using that toxic slug bait years ago (which was the only non organic thing I ever used in my garden) and even when I did, I used it very sparingly. . I have always tried to use natural as much as possible but most people just have no idea the amount of slugs a place that gets 120" of rain can get. Natural methods (other than chickens, ducks, or picking the slugs off by hand) simply do not work on them. Sluggo is totally safe and I was glad to find that out but even then I only use it when I really have to around plants I really need to save from the slugs. Most of the time I just grow enough to feed the slugs and us too because beer, DE, coffee, egg shells, copper, you name it, do not work here.
@@irenecostigan3623 A frog bog is a small 20 gallon plastic garden pond sunk into one of my gardens with medium/large pieces of slate rock around it. I have gravel and water plants in it in the spring and summer and always have frogs which plunk loudly in the water if I get too close to that garden. If I get just close enough, I can see their heads sticking out of the water. I had it in a year and got frogs the following year. We live not too far from a natural boggy stream, so, it took them a while to find it. Now that they have and the bugs my garden can attract; they have a place to rest, breed, and eat. A soup and salad bar for frogs. I have moss frogs also known as grass frog and several species of tree frogs the green and the lacey types. At times I see varmints taking a quick drink before moving on and a neighborhood kitty or two. All are welcome to my small patch of joy.
Rain Country I think that may be it. I react to a lot of soaps allergically. A former friend (that I thought was still one) called it that & said it took 6 weeks. All I know is it worked.

You can also use a pumas stone but sand paper is often easier to find. Then I apply the skin cream and put my socks on over. If they are real bad, repeat the application again in the evening and put clean socks on before going to bed but do not sand again, you do not want to sand or scrape too often or one can remove too much skin and then make the problem worse
Rain Country thanks
picked up the Bentonite clay, from Hobby Lobby, my daughter has really oil skin, they had Charcoal, they also have a Rose Clay, Your thoughts on it??
My thoughts on Rose Clay? Never used it or looked into it so I cannot say anything about it
Do you have any videoe showing how you make Colloidal silver and copper? If you don’t would you consider making one? What about the dangers of turning blue from using silver?
I did but had to remove them from youtube. I will be making a new one to put up on Rumble soon. Argyria is a very rare condition but when taken internally, one simply needs to use in moderation
I have psoriasis
I would like to try some your shampoos,,any in your etsy store ?
No, I do not sell the shampoos or other such liquid items as they cost a lot to ship but I sell my soaps and skin cream. You can find the shampoo recipe video in the links, it is very easy to make your own
I have very dry skin

I live in Florida and have very harsh water and extremely dry skin any suggestions or recipes for this please and thank you.
I will send you my updated video on natural skin care and how I take care of my dry skin which also should include the recipe to my own skin cream that I have been usinua-cam.com/video/wfBOPlzSujE/v-deo.htmlg for at least 8 years or more in the description box:
@@RainCountryHomestead can this be used on a daily basis and for all over my body including my legs and hands? Do you sell this if so how can I purchase it?
@@sylviajohnson373 I use every single day on my face and anywhere else I need it. Yes, I do sell it but also have an instructional video where you can make it yourself if you want. However, if you want a product list with the sizes and scents I sell, email me at raincountryhomestead@gmail.com and I will send you that list
I suffer from really dry skin eczema, allergies en asthma. I also have eczema in the corners of my mouth that rip every time and heal very slowly. For this reason I want to use an all natural foundation, but the recipe you put on UA-cam felt really drying to me. Do you have a recipe or idea for an all natural and self made foundation that doesn't dry out the skin.
Foundation is not something I use other that the rare use of the powder, so I do not have any recipes for you, sorry. However, I did go take a look at Wellness Mama's page because she always has great DIY recipes and I found this:

Do you put citric acid in copper after it is made or during?
Before making it and I do not use citric acid anymore, I use homemade vinegar
How do I know that my colloidal silver is "done"???🤓
Skin cream I found my tallow to be excellent, whipped, some EOs in.... good use for tallow, or it would get really old otherwise .
I typically let it run for 1.5 hours. It should be light grey when done. IT will get darker as it sits in storage though
@@RainCountryHomestead it looked like nothing after an hour and a half, then I sort of forgot it til oh 5 hours later 🤓 still was very water-like, but on the bottom were dark spots where the rods were (no they didn't touch the jar bottom). Filled into dark brown jars and called it done.
Did I tell you: you rock! Thank God for you!!!!
@@kleineroteHex hmmm, so you had the three batteries connected together and an alligator clip on a positive of one battery and a negative on the other? You should have been able to actually see something within the first few minutes of running it. You would have seen a silvery "cloud" coming off one of the rods, but only one - I never can remember if it is from the positive lead or the negative though.
@@kleineroteHex Here is the video Patrick did on the generators and in it he shows the silver in the process. You can see the cloudiness coming off the one bar. I have copied it from the 10:42 time stamp so hopefully this link should take you right to that part in the video: ua-cam.com/video/i_Jyf-vLYAs/v-deo.html
@@RainCountryHomestead oh, yes, it was a bit of fog from only one, just the water itself never really seemed to change, so let it go. And yes on the rest of the how to.
Hello, what do you use for sunscreen?
I personally do not use sunscreen, really do not need it but I did do a video on natural sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens must be avoided: ua-cam.com/video/79mDpYgjz9A/v-deo.html
Anything that helps with sebhorric dermatitis? A fungal thing but drs not 100% apple cider vinegar helps a little on the nose/ears but would like to stop using stinky pinetarsol shampoo
With fungal infections especially, what works for one may not work for another. Here is a list of natural oils that can help: turpentine (100% pure gum spirts only), clove, thyme, tea tree, oregano, neem. Castor oil is also good but very thick so mixing it with any of the previous oils will provide a carrier oil for them as well as making it easier to use and absorb
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you
I went to the Etsy store. Y does the amount come up as AU n not USA.?
I have no idea because it shouldn't. I rarely sell anything out of the country unless it is a special request so all my items are listed as US only. Are you sure you are in the right store?
Or was it one specific item you looked at?
Do you still sale your soap?
No, sorry I do not. While I still make soap for us, life got too busy for me to keep up on soap orders
I hate pesticides. I quit using them and heavy commercial fertalizers. When I did this I got frogs and toads that eat my bugs right off my roses and small beneficial garden variety snakes that take care of rodents like rats & mice. Of course, nothing works better than cats for mice. Without cat's we'd be over run with mice.
Don't use poisons because people's pets can invariably get into it. Neighbors dog in his own fenced yard got a hold of mice that the other neighbor had baited for and the dog nearly died twice. It cost them as much as a new car to save their precious pets life. So, please people do not put poison down you never know who's child's pet your killing. Save our bee population; no pesticides.
Use natural remedies or what God intended. He put controls in place and I love seeing all the wildlife and dragonflies. I have a frog bog and no mosquitos. Have cute ferocious little frogs and garden toads for nice plants and roses; no or very few bugs.
Your channel is always a joy; May you prosper.
As stated in this video, I stopped using that toxic slug bait years ago (which was the only non organic thing I ever used in my garden) and even when I did, I used it very sparingly. . I have always tried to use natural as much as possible but most people just have no idea the amount of slugs a place that gets 120" of rain can get. Natural methods (other than chickens, ducks, or picking the slugs off by hand) simply do not work on them. Sluggo is totally safe and I was glad to find that out but even then I only use it when I really have to around plants I really need to save from the slugs. Most of the time I just grow enough to feed the slugs and us too because beer, DE, coffee, egg shells, copper, you name it, do not work here.
What’s a frog bog? Sounds neat?
@@irenecostigan3623 A frog bog is a small 20 gallon plastic garden pond sunk into one of my gardens with medium/large pieces of slate rock around it. I have gravel and water plants in it in the spring and summer and always have frogs which plunk loudly in the water if I get too close to that garden. If I get just close enough, I can see their heads sticking out of the water.
I had it in a year and got frogs the following year. We live not too far from a natural boggy stream, so, it took them a while to find it. Now that they have and the bugs my garden can attract; they have a place to rest, breed, and eat. A soup and salad bar for frogs.
I have moss frogs also known as grass frog and several species of tree frogs the green and the lacey types.
At times I see varmints taking a quick drink before moving on and a neighborhood kitty or two. All are welcome to my small patch of joy.
Do you do the cold pack soap cure?
Not really sure what you mean but you can check out my soap videos (I believe I did link one) and see how I do it
Rain Country i meant 6 week cold cure. Sorry. Brain lost the connection lol...walked through a doorway. Lol
@@edieboudreau9637 Still not sure what you mean by "Cold cure". I simply allow them to dry on racks for at least four weeks
Rain Country I think that may be it. I react to a lot of soaps allergically. A former friend (that I thought was still one) called it that & said it took 6 weeks. All I know is it worked.
