One thing I really want to change on behalf of my more natural routine is my face wash. I have very acne-prone skin and thus have run the gamut on prescription and over the counter face washes, topical gels, and even oral antibiotics. I've tried lots of different natural treatments, but none seem to work. My most recent attempt was Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream (pictured above). I used this face wash for about 10 weeks. At first, I thought it was going to be the answer to my prayers. It seemed to reveal moisturized, balanced, acne-free skin, but after a week of using it, my face began to break out again. Hoping that this was just a "transition" phase for my face, I continued to use it. Ten weeks later, however, my face was horribly broken out and I was running back to my former and most successful face wash (in terms of clearing up my acne), ProActiv. (Note: This seems like it would be a great face wash for those without lots of acne.) 
While I wish I could say I am satisfied with ProActiv, I cannot. I know deep inside that it is tearing up the
natural oils in my skin, which I want to protect. The chemicals in it are definitely
NOT NATURAL and it's pretty pricey at that. So that said, I need some ideas....
calling all ideas for a natural facewash that is inexpensive and effective for acne-prone skin. If you know of any good ones, please let me know. Meanwhile, I will be researching some at-home concoctions that I can test out.
