Well, I’m seeing a pattern here and I may need to re-evaluate this year long project of mine. The pattern is I think every post will be simple, but then they quickly become lengthier and more involved than I originally anticipated. Which is not a bad thing, it’s just a time thing. I’ll need to think about how much time and energy I want to dedicate to this passion project. For now it’s ok, but in February I may need to adjust and then again in May once hiking season kicks in.

Short version: I use straight up oil as a moisturizer. I don’t have time or desire anymore to fuck around with shitty lotions and mainstream garbage that is mostly water and may even contain alcohol which dries my skin out. I’ve been using olive oil or coconut oil for years, neither of which is completely zero waste. The coconut oil is packaged in glass, which can be recycled and this is the best I’ve been able to do thus far for olive oil. Nowhere near me sells it in bulk that I know of (anyone local have a hook up, let me know!). I buy this large container and then refill a glass bottle that I keep near my stove and a smaller container that I keep upstairs for my skin. I’ll use olive oil after a shower like I did today and before bed every night. Face, body, hands, you name it. Even hair. More on that tomorrow.

There may be a longer version one of these days...no promises!
