Taking Care of The Skin I'm in

I have had bouts with eczema since I was about 12 years old. I believe this was due to the high amounts of steroids that I was taking. 
I have tried creams, lotions,even head and shoulders shampoo to treat my skin.
I began making my own skin care products about 4 months ago using all organic, natural products such as coconut, almond, castor and essential oils as well as Shea butter and aloe.
*I will post some of my recipes in later posts*
As you can see from the picture, my skin is changing dramatically. I feel so great. I am getting compliments about how my skin is glowing consistently. The before pic was taken back in September after using my natural products for about 2 weeks. The after pictures were taken on New Year's Eve.
There are so many resources on line including instructional videos on you tube. So far, I have made different body butters, sugar and coffee scrubs in addition to some fusion oils and facial masks. Next I will be making some soaps, body oils, toner, and additional  items such as deodorant, toothpaste. I am excited about learning, expanding and taking care of me...naturally.
