Are there any good natural skin care products that really work?

I would like to find a moisturizing lotion for my face that is natural and good for my skin. I have normal to slightly dry skin. It can be somewhat sensitive to some products, but is not prone to blemishes, just sometimes a little redness or rash that goes away. Ironically, the products that will cause this are often the ones that claim to make skin younger looking.

What doctor should I see next for multiple problems?

I have a few health issues- new (last 6 months) and older. I went to PCP for hand rash and tender lump near ear. He diagnosed staph and gave Bactrim and nasal Bactroban. I’ve been on Bactrim for 11 days w/no improvement. I also have had several asthma attacks of increasing severity over the last week or so. I’ve never had attacks like this before (only allergy or exercise-induced). I also have an itchy scalp problem that the original doctor didn’t see (no time) that could possibly also be staph. Of course, I am not convinced that any of this is staph.

These are the problems:
Tenderness near ear (lymph node?)
Patch of itchy scalp
Little patches of dry skin near eyes
Hand rash (dyshidrotic eczema?)
Back pain
Muscle tenderness in spots
Easy bruising
Insomnia / sleepiness

Things that could be related:
Migraines
Mild depression
Difficulty losing weight (dietician thinks metabolism prob.)

Where should I go next? A specialist? In what? Do I just wait?

Stinging hair follicles and hair loss?

Recently (within a half a year, or so I’ve noticed) I’ve had a thinning of my top, frontmost hairs. I’m a 19-year-old female. I will be going to the doctor soon, but would like some opinions for piece of mind. I’ll give a bit of information to help:
My dad is 64 with more hair than he can handle (he looks like a dandelion). My mother has always had thin hair, but not in patches..just naturally thin. I definitely have my dad’s hair..his is wavy, thick and auburn (like mine) and hers is thin, blonde, and straight..so I’m really not thinking it’s genetics. No female nor male in my entire family have had thinning hair at a young age.
My first thought was something to do with hormones. I’ve had a struggle with slight premenstrual cystic acne (small nodules that wouldn’t heal for 3 months) but I’ve since controlled it with Bactrim antibiotics. Maybe there’s a correlation between my cystic acne (some say overproduction of androgens) and my hair loss? What symptoms would a female have if they overproduced androgens?
My other guess was lack of nutrients..I’m a vegetarian who doesn’t really eat any vegetables. I’m naturally thin, but not too thin, so I don’t think it’s a weight issue..but I really don’t eat a balanced meal (I usually have burritos and spaghetti and ramen). I try to take supplements and drink something call a Green Drink but I’m not sure it’s enough.
My final idea was that it was either inflammation from dandruff (since I was young I had this, but I thought it went away..my scalp would only flake if I scraped at it and I began to think this might have been from conditioner build-up), folliculitis, or some other scalp bacterial/fungal infection. My main reason for thinking this is that the affected hair follicles sting and ache a little any time I flip my hair from one side to the other. It’s really sensitive, only slightly painful, and I feel that the slightest touch could shed some hairs. Also, the other day I noticed a build-up of scaly dry skin that I had never seen before. I’ve been trying anti-drandruff shampoo for 4 days but I’m not sure whether this is helping. These symptoms seem indicative of an external, dermatic rather than an internal issue (such as those I listed above). Would I get this sort of tingly/irritated feeling if it was hormones/my antibiotics/malnourishment? I always thought folliculitis and infections would cause obvious flaking, sores, redness, etc…

Just hoping for some input. I really hope this hair loss isn’t permanent once I solve it :( . Thanks!
I had bloodwork done a few months ago:
-normal Thyroid hormone levels
-slight Vitamin D deficiency
-slightly anemic (something like a 10.9 where 11 was normal)

Going shopping, which products/brands to buy?

I’m going shopping tomorrow, because I’m low on a lot of stuff. So here’s my list of what I’m getting:

1. Treseme’s Natural Shampoo&Conditioner
2. Skintimate Moisturizing Cream Shave for Dry Skin
3. Dial’s Clean&Gentle Moisturizing Body Wash, Soy&Almond Milk
4. Earthly Body Marrakesh Oil, Hair Styling Elixir, With Hemp&Aragan Oils
5. St Ives Blemish&Blackhead Clearing Apricot Scrub
6. Makeup Remover
7. Slim Fast shakes

Now here are my questions for each:
1. Is there a different type or brand of Shampoo&Conditioner that I should be using?
2. Is there a better/cheaper shaving cream?
4. Is there something similar to this, and/or better, that I should be using for my curly and frizzy hair?
6. What kind of makeup remover do you suggest, do I even need to buy makeup remover or could I use something else(ie. baby wipes)?
7. I heard that there was a recall for the Slim Fast ready to go Shakes, should I buy the powder instead, or is the recall over?

Thank you so much everyone!
