I got some kojic acid soap too!@Reinventing21 - I'm falling back in line and marching to an ol' familiar tune also.
- started taking my supplements again two weeks ago,
- returned to RELIGIOUSLY oil pulling daily,
- bathing with Kojic Acid soap,
- Made a batch of Vitamin C serum this evening, to apply daily
- Made a batch of Latic Acid /shea butter/oil blend
- Will apply a peel (preferably) tonight or tomorrow, so peeling can be at worst over the weekend. I hope to get 6-8 peels in before weather gets really hot and sun starts blaring daily.
- Applying Retin A daily
- Emphasize daily moisturizing, conditioning, oil regimen
I have to incorporate MSM back in my regimen, but I don't want to put my body in shock by re-initializing all aspects simultaneously. MSM is the truth ... I just wished it tasted better.

I didn't see this thread till yesterday! So....I am officially joining today, but I started Sunday. Actually I started in January back with my whole food supplement but now I am officially paying attention.
I was looking back at some photos and my hair/skin was so much better so I have been racking my brain trying to remember what I was doing.This is why journaling is so important.
Anyhoo,
As of Sunday: Source of Life Whole Food Liquid Supplement, Shen Min for Hair, Biotin 10,000mcg, vitamin D and zinc. Almost forgot to add Brewers Yeast, a tablespoon in oj twice a day with meals.
In the past I took Barleans 3.6.9 oil. Nasty and expensive!!!!$$$ BUT that is when I looked the best so...I better budget and down it with some organic oj.
I also used to take Neocell but I wasn't sure it was making a difference. I think I will return to it and maybe gelatin and MSM. I used to do these as well but fell off.
Consistency is key so we will see!
I want a healthy body PLUS thick, smooth, shiny LONG hair and clear, smooth, glowing skin AND long eyelashes!
Welcome @Reinventing21 !
Ms @ilong what is this kojic acid soap? and what kind of peel do you use? I love me some Reti.n A!! Stocked up when I went to Cabo. So cheap!! I only use in the fall/winter though.@Reinventing21 - I'm falling back in line and marching to an ol' familiar tune also.

@larry3344 - I understand your reluctance. The only dissatisfaction I had with a KA soap was a Diane Stalder soap I purchased about 12 years ago from an ebay seller. I believe it was fake and I didn't see any change/result for the time I used it. I don't purchase soaps from eBay anymore. I transitioned to Likas soap and I still use it from time to time, however I've been using Kojie San for the last several years and have had good results and no issues with it. But I'm extremely careful with who I purchase it from. For any seller there is uncertainty as to where they get their product(s)
Thanks, it it dramatic lightening? I guess if I were to use it, I'd want it for evening out blemishes. Probably cheaper than using retin a on my stretch marks. TBH, I was thinking about going to the dermatologist for a peel on my face and thighs/behind.
us. 
I'll tag you in the thread which has a lot of posts on Kojic acid soap.

Still taking phytocap 2 caps
5000mcg biotin
1000mg MSM
I will continue taking 1000mg msm until I finish bottle (90 caps). Then I will up my MSM to 2000mg. As for the the phytocap I have 45 days, I will complete the 4 months period with Phytophanere then take another vitamin during the 30 day period.
BTW has anyone tried Belle Mocha/ Relaxed Hair Health's protein powder?

nearing the end of my 4 month phytophanere usage. Thinking of taking futurebiotics HSN and getting back on cod liver oil during the month off. I think the next 4 months will really give me hair growth as my toenails, which grow really slow, have been growing out the pedis I do 2x/mo. For me, after the vits have "filled in the holes" in my body that need help, next are fingernails, then skin, then toenails, the last is always the hair.

Checking in!! I have been doing well since my first post BUT some things have changed as I am establishing my routine so...
In the AM
I mix Brewer's Yeast into juice and down my Shen Min and Biotin.
In the PMI mix a hyarulonic acid into juice and down my Thyroid Care.
I am also back to drinking CALM (magnesium/calcium/vita d) for sleeping etc. I've been incorporating nightly scalp massages too.
Additionally, just started back with smoothies. Mine for now are simple: flax seed, spinach leaves, oatmeal, unsweetened cashew milk and a splash of juice and/or a dribble of honey.
I am also back to waking up my body in the morning with a 10 minute walk/ride on my gym machines.
I also do a longer workout in the evening. 
SO FAR SO GOOD!
What's next? I'd like to get some more 3-6-9 oil.
**BTW Thanks to this thread lol I just got some glycolic/lactic peels that I am going to use this weekend for better toning and to get rid of scarring. I also started back to use up by Retin A and vita E. Hmmm.... I think that's it for now.

I started with Manetabolism this year and this will be my 3rd month consistently taking it. I took it for like 6 months last year I think before switching to Mielle for about 3 months, then stopped because honestly I couldn't tell if they were doing anything lol.
I don't measure and maybe that's where I'm going wrong. To me it doesn't feel like my hair is growing any faster or differently :/ I however do notice a huge difference in my nails which have taken months to stop peeling and breaking. I am eating better, drinking a lots of water (up to 100+ oz a day), and exercising regularly as part of a fitness challenge going on 5 weeks now, so not sure how those factor in with the vitamins.
I have about 3 days left on this current bottle of metabolism and think I'm going to step away....I have a bottle of Shedavi Vitamins and Nouritress Vitamins in my stash to try out and thinking of switching to one of them for the month of May to see if I "notice" any results from using them. I guess I should do some type of measurements first, it just may be my eyes deceiving me as far as the effectiveness of taking these things.

@Reinventing21 - do a search on Navratna oil (Ayurvedic oil) - it's good hair, scalp massages and sleep.
@bolded^^^ - although Beany was very gracious about our "hijacking" (can't leave @Wenbev out) the thread - we did back out of this thread and tiptoed into the skin forum.

I am thinking about going back to amla and vatika oil (or other ayurvedic oil ) and chlorella powder....

I am near my 2 month end of taking Phytophanere. I have definitely seen a change in how soft and manageable my hair is. It is not as dry. I usually have to re-moisturize every 2 days. I was stuck at work for 2 days, and as expected didn't have the opportunity to take care of my hair like I normally would. I came home early this morning and noticed my hair. Super soft and supple. My scalp looked well-oiled, too.
As for hair growth, I am usually in twists, and have a lot of shrinkage. I need to use heat to see how much I've retained. I will do so in a few weeks. Overall, I am pleased with the results. I have 2 more months to go.

I have to pay more attention to my scalp, I know my overall skin is more oily. OAN, I see in your sig Davines is a staple. What products do you like? I've been wanting to try that line for a while now.

I use the Melu and Oi line. I particular love the Melu Conditioner with lentil seed oil (abundant in amino acids), and the Oi All in One Milk as a leave in. The smell of the Oi is soooooo divine.
I first heard of the line when my stylist used the Melu conditioner on my hair. Have been hooked since.

Adding chlorella and spirulina back into diet!
I love chlorella!
Thanks! There's a mega salon/store in my area that sells Davines...and it peaked my intrest again. I heard about a couple years ago but never pulled the trigger.
