PERSONAL CARE FOR GAPS

Although many of us aim to establish the minimisation of using anything that is not natural because we wish to reduce the toxic load and avoid products that contain soap and substances that can strip skin from good flora, we are often asked what hair and face products can be used when on the GAPS Program.  Esentially, we want to avoid soaps because this removes good bacteria from the skin as well as bad bacteria but there are instances where handwashing or hair washing is required because natural alternatives just don't do the job so we have listed some options that don't contain the nasties.  Just remember to reduce the toxic load where ever you can with your personal care options.
