Are you tired of using commercial facial cleansers that contain potentially harmful chemicals? Well, you’re in luck because I have a super easy and affordable solution for you – a DIY, all-natural cleanser with essential oils! Not only is it easy to make, but your skin will absolutely love it. Let’s dive into the world of essential oils and discover the wonders they can do for our skin.
Why Essential Oils?
You might be wondering why essential oils are so beneficial for our skin. Well, it’s because high-quality essential oils, like the ones from Young Living that I personally use, are not just fragrance grade but therapeutic grade. This means they are safe for our skin and can provide amazing benefits. It’s always a good idea to test the oils on a small area of sensitive skin before using them extensively. And remember to follow the instructions, such as diluting the essential oils with a carrier oil like jojoba or coconut oil if necessary.
DIY, All Natural Cleanser Recipe
- 1/2 cup unscented castile soap (I recommend this one)
- 1 tsp jojoba oil or rose hip oil or argan oil
- 5 drops Frankincense
- 5 drops Lavender
- 5 drops Lemon
Instructions:
- Add all the ingredients to a 15 oz FOAMING soap bottle (I love this one).
- Fill the rest of the bottle with water (distilled water if you have it).
- Give it a light shake before each use!
That’s it! It’s incredibly simple and easy to make. Plus, it’s completely natural and non-toxic, so you don’t have to worry about any potentially harmful chemicals or compounds coming in contact with your body. You can even use this as a hand soap!
