Ok. I guess I won't use any essential oil near my bird.

It's definitely a lot safer that way.

B...... it's excellent stuff..... you can use the
witch hazel without the rose water if you want.....
It's an astringent.....

I'm sorry you're having acne trouble. I'm very lucky that I've never been one for getting spots but when I do it's always one big painful one that hangs around for considerably longer than it is welcome haha

I don't consume much dairy at all, if ever really. I have it very rarely. Maybe that's why my skin isn't too bad? My only problem is mine looks dull and dry. I wanna try one of the electronic face brushes though, they look awesome

Have you ever heard of LUSH? They have a tea tree spot treatment called Grease Lightening and it's not overwhelming. I've heard great things about that. I personally use their tea tree toner water too, as well as the rose one. It makes my face feel really good and fresh. LUSH is an amazing brand but it's fairly expensive. I use it a lot and a little goes a long way!

Ok. Last question. Does apple cider vinegar pose any threat?

It's generally not a threat, although a strong concentrated smell in the air wouldn't be good. The main thing to be cautious of with ACV is that its benefits are vastly overhyped, and it's not likely to do anything that distilled white vinegar wouldn't do at a fraction of the cost. The subject of ACV comes up so often on the bird nutrition group I belong to that I wrote an article about it: http://www.littlefeatheredbuddies.com/i ... n-acv.html

I would give ACV a try. There may not be so many benefits but when people think so high of its qualities, placebo effect can take place (HA HA)

If you are allergic to lactose, you should definitely stop eating dairy. Try kefir. It's 99% lactose free.

I already stopped eating dairy. I haven't eaten it since I said here that I wouldn't. I think it's too soon to tell if it worked or not.

I don't think a placebo effect could happen since I don't have control whether I get acne or not. It's not a psychological issue. If placebo effects were true in acne, I would of been clear by now.
