After reading all of the information about borax on the earthclinic website, I decided to experiment with it.
I started using borax in place of the liquid bodywash that I normally used in the shower. I have always had breakouts on my chest and back and have tried everything (acne creams, soaps, kits for problem skin, alcohol, changing laundry detergent) and never had any lasting success keeping my skin clear from breakouts.
Well let me tell you, since I started using the borax to wash myself with, my skin is COMPLETELY CLEAR! I've been using the borax now for about two months straight and will never go back to bodywash. I also started using it on my face and I will no longer buy facial cleansers again since the borax works so well. I still do use regular shampoo. I tried using just borax to wash my hair and the first day my hair looked great but the following two days my hair looked terrible. I now add a small handful of borax to my shampoo and use that with very good results. It is winter in NJ right now and usually I have a lot of static in my hair, but the borax seems to be counteracting that. I attribute the lack of static to the borax as that is the only different thing I am doing.
One last thing, the borax that I am using is the stuff you can get in the laundry aisle--20 Mule team borax. I love using borax and I love the Earthclinic website!

Maybe Rachel will still respond but if not...What I've heard and done is to mix water and some borax together. Like in a bottle and shake it. Some borax will sink to the bottom. Just use the water on top(without shaking each time). The water will only dissolve so much borax and can't dissolve any more. So when you use the water up just refill and shake again. Adding more borax as it gets low. It's super neat how it only absorbs so much. It's a little awkward at first since we are use to slippery sudsy slick soap. But it's got to be like the cheapest and most natural way to clean! One ingredient/ no chemicals. Very cool!
