Meet Bran – a 27 year old Seattle transplant, originally from Los Angeles. Bran often gets asked about her great skin, she shares her regimen with us!
Bran showcases her skin - modeling for fun!
NewNaturalista: What’s your external skin regimen?
Bran: At the very least, I make sure to scrub my face with water each day. The products I use really enjoy are as follows:
- Queen Helene Oatmeal ‘n Honey natural facial scrub. I’ve been using this for about 15 years now. It’s a little rough application-wise and is cumbersome taking off, but that all results in such soft, lush skin. It’s worth it.
- Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash for Oily/Combination skin. This is something I fell in love with only recently. It’s light – feeling like nothing more than an average body wash – and leaves me with a lovely tingle afterward.
- French Green Clay from Living Earth Herbs (http://www.livingearthherbs.com), based in Bellingham, WA. This one’s a bit messy, though not nearly as bad as the Oatmeal ‘n Honey scrub. I usually make a mask of it and leave it on for five to ten minutes.
- I finish it all off with light application of Queen Helene’s cocoa butter hand/body lotion, which I sometimes mix with amber vanilla oil for light fragrance.
NewNaturalista: How does your diet play a role? If so how?
Bran: I like to drink a great deal of water, and eat a lot of fish, particularly salmon. Oil and water are essential for a thriving human body in general.
NewNaturalista: Do you come from a family with great skin?
Bran: I’d say so. Seems like we were naturally blessed with it!

NewNaturalista: What’s your advice for women in search of clearer skin?
Bran: It’s highly likely there isn’t one singular godly product you can buy that’s going to clear everything up, but buying products with more natural ingredients definitely helps. Knowledge truly is power – know what goes into your body. Talk to your friends and family about it. It sounds like a lot of work, but it gets easier once you start, and you become a lot more aware of the number of harmful things out there masquerading as beauty improvement items.
Thanks Bran!
