Aging is a natural process of life! Sadly, we are constantly bombarded with commercials and seduced by beautiful ads that promise to eliminate every sign of aging for flawless skin because aging is undesirable and unattractive. To me, it is just noise to make us feel bad about who we are and about getting older.

There is information circulating around the internet by some companies selling shampoo bars. Basically, customers are being told that if you try a natural shampoo bar once it should work, and, if it does not, it is a sign that natural shampoo bars are not for you. Customers are also being told that the words “adjustment period” are a marketing hype or an outright lie simply to explain why natural soap-based shampoo bars do not work. I believe that these comments are quite troubling and incorrect.
