It's ok. KT cream acts as an exfoliant on the face, rather like those

brutally expensive products one can buy. It also stimulates circulation,

which supports skin regeneration.

If your skin is sensitive or dry, leave it on only for a few minutes (under

5), whatever works for you. I have not found it to be drying over time, it

actually seems to balance the skin. I like to rinse it off but not wash

with soap. The bacteria in the KT cream seem to enhance the skin's acid

mantle and induce healing of all kinds.

hope this helps.

I had used a whole scoby on my face for 30 minutes twice a week. Since learnign

about blending tea and scoby in blender I have done this once this week . and

love it!! Thanks to whomever suggested. I have noticed a difference in skin

texture it reduces fine lines and wrinkles and is making my " growing things "

(after 50 things just appear out of no where) and it makes me meditate for 30

minutes twice a week!! I also used a whole scoby on my chest -- having been a

sun baby there are skin things going on.. It has made a HUGE difference inside

and out.

I have however noticed when using the " applesaucelike " blender mix -- IF you

get it in your hair its WORK to get it all out!

I mix K-Vin with some bentonite clay(dry), I think it's called Aztec Beauty

Mask or something like that, but it's dry clay and I mix it with k-vin that

has set out for over a month and it helps smooth out my face and cleared up

my pores. I'm just getting started but i'm hoping long term use will help

hide some of my facial scars. (They're not bad, being so old, but anytime I

exercise it's like a red blotch on my face before the rest of me reddends).

or even younger. Yes, the KT cream dissolved away bumps I had that had

been diagnosed as benign but that I was told would continue to spread.

yes indeed! I try real hard not to get the cream in my hair. Now, the KT

liquid tonic is great for the hair tho

I have fairly hairy arms for a woman (hard to see them cos they are

so light thankfully but) I won't even tell you what the KT

applesauce mix looks like on them when it dries. :-#

I have been rinsing my hair with my oldest kt (after straining it

well) and it makes it much shinier. It feels refreshing too.

I first rinse with water to get all the shampoo out, then I pour the

kt over and barely rinse again with water, leaving a lot of the kt

in. I love it.

I love this KT!!
