In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Coconut oil, primarily. I've heard good things about tallow, but I haven't tried it.

I strongly recommend putting nothing on your skin. Whether it's "natural" or not, most of the things that you put on your body act as xenoestrogens. Chris Kresser has a good post (or maybe it was a podcast, I can't remember). Neither men or women need that much fake estrogen being absorbed through your largest organ. The safest thing I could imagine is coconut oil as there's nothing bad there.

another vote for coconut oil, also works great as a pomade if you have thick and / or frizzy hair

To start, don't strip your skin of its natural oils by overwashing or using traditional soaps and shampoos. Look up "no poo" and you'll find lots of suggestions. The essence will be that warm water and a good cloth/loofah is enough to clean your skin. A little vinegar (good quality ACV or white vinegar) in water will cleanse and balance your scalp and hair -- with a TB of baking soda in water as needed for unusually dirty grimy occasions. This practice may take a couple weeks for your body to adjust to by producing less oils etc now that you've stopped stripping it away.

Then use tropical oils or lotions based on them as needed for extra dry spots or to help clear up blemishes.

For my body I just love unrefined shea butter. It seems to have a really moisturizing and mildly exfoliating affect (awesome on the feet). I haven't found anything else that works that well for smelling/feeling good. I also like emu oil for some body parts and my face (I don't know much about the industry/practices, so that may not be for you). Castor oil is great for making face washes (will keep skin VERY moist, while cleaning and dissolving dirt) and I mix it with a bit of Dr. Bronner's castille soap. Other than those things I like MyChelle products found at most natural food stores.

Tallow has been the best hand cream I've used so far. I have seriously dry hands, so I think I need the strong stuff like tallow or lanolin. Coconut oil gives me rashes on my hands, even though I am fine cooking with it.

I like tallow or cocoa butter for my lips.

My various options: Dr. Woods hemp/coconut/olive oil facial cleanser. California Baby sensitive skin lotion on my face. mix of almond oil/avocado oil/sea buckthorn oil/jojoba oil & just a dash of tea tree oil for body. Aubrey Organics Unscented Moisturizing lotion for hands or when I run out of body oils. Dr. Bronner's coconut oil hair cream.

I can't use shea butter, cross reactive if you have latex allergy like me. Pure coconut oil doesn't work well for my skin either - it dries out faster if I use ccn oil. I find almond and avocado oil mix to be really nice with some add ins if I have them. Macadamia nut oil is great too but I rarely get it. I get some of the same fatty acids from the sea buckthorn oil.

I use oils, apricot kernal or almond. There are some pretty good lotions out there that don't contain the parabens and sulfates and such. For makeup and facial cleansers I like Juicebeauty. You can check out the cosmetics database at www.ewg.org/skindeep to find out the toxicity levels of your products. Etsy.com is great too, for finding homemade products crafty folks are selling. Wonderful for soaps and deoderants and more.

check the Tropical Traditions site; they have many recipes and suggestions.

I use olive and castor oil as a cleanser now and then, and olive oil to moisturize.

I found ghee is really great at healing whatever acne/dryness/broken skin I may have.

I use coconut oil for everything as well. For washing my face if I need something more than water I use water and a little bit of baking soda. I don't use soap because I have psoriasis and that only aggravates the condition. But Desert Essence has a full line of products that are incredible and no harsh chemicals, no nasty stuff like paragons, sls..etc etc. Ive found these products at my local Sprouts but they have a website as well. https://www.desertessence.com/ For lotion on my body and face I use coconut oil. Its awesome..soaks in well, hydrates well and doesn't clog pores.

Coconut oil. That is all. ;-)

Pure vasoline works well (arguably not paleo), as does lanolin and beeswax. Dansko makes a cream for their clogs (leather uppers) that is 50% bees wax and 50% lanolin. That stuff will work WONDERS on dry/cracked hands.

Beyond that, you can make your own soaps and lotions pretty easily. That would give you total control over ingredients and allow you to ensure that you do not accidentally wind up with undesired junk in your personal care products. Here is a link or two to help you get started.

I'm not sure if it's paleo, but all I have used in years has been Ivory soap. No other overpriced creams, soaps, shampoo, etc.

Mary Kay, Live Clean (available in Canada, limited in the US), and Desert Essence are the brands I use. I haven't gotten into homemade products yet.

I use organic sunflower and jojoba oils after I shower as my all-over body lotion, and use Weleda's Cold Cream for my face during the day (I live in Colorado and it's been the only thing that worked well for me in this climate). At night I use Green Pasture's Beauty Balm (fermented cod liver, olive, coconut oils). I use coconut oil sometimes before bed if my skin is feeling extra dry, but sometimes it makes me itchy and doesn't absorb as well as other oils.

Besides a lot of coconut oil, I use products that I have researched on the Environmental Working Groups, Safe Cosmetic Database.

This is a FABULOUS resource. Most products are listed but if they are not you can do a custom search. I love this site!!

Sesame oil works for me

Water. No poo, no soap, except ass. Coconut oil mixed with baking soda on my pits when it's hot outside or I'm going out.

Nothing. I take a bath in the morning, and let my body do the rest. My acne cleared, my hair looks better, and I never smell (my girlfriend would tell me)..

coconut oil for my body... but not all the time, just when its dry or sunburned.

I really like aloe vera on my face.. sometimes glycerin if its particularly dry or red. Actually, glycerin is a preservative (like alcohol) with herbs, so I've steeped rose petals and lavender in glycerin before and used it as a serum. You could also do something like goldenseal for its antibacterial properties... great for acne.

Usually coconut oil. Tastes good too :)

I use MCT oil on scars, stretch marks and on my face.
