Natural remedies/skincare/cleaning alternatives... total beginner, anyone else?

[Cagliostro]

Thought we could have a chat thread to share ideas, what works and what doesn't etc. I'd like to use less artificial stuff and use more natural ingredients, but have no idea where to start! :)

The reason I started this BTW is that I burned my arm the other day, it came up in a huge, painful blister. My friend put some manuka honey on it and the result was incredible - blister disappeared within hours, pain vanished, and it's healed far quicker than any burn I've had before. :)
