Hi Deborah! I'm a big fan of natural stuff too... I love love love oils for the face. Not sure if olive oil agrees with me though - I was trying the Oil Cleansing Method here http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ with a castor+olive oil combo and it gave me a horrendous breakout. I've read that jojoba and grapeseed are less comedogenic.

The Zeno is a pretty cool product but I think the ThermaClear is much better because you don't have to buy "refills" and the treatment time is much shorter. Hadn't heard about a spider vein application - interesting! For acne I still think the best solutions are internal... have you seen my cod liver oil post? http://beautyeditor.ca/2010/09/02/the-single-best-product-evah-for-your-skin-is-not-in-fact-an-actual-skincare-product/
