Handmade Natural Face Wash Recipe

Naturally, natural and clean is ideal when selecting a facial wash. You don't want to put a lot of chemicals on your face, especially when you are cleansing it to get rid of makeup along with dirt. A homemade face wash with all natural ingredients works best and can be great for your skin. Here is one chamomile face wash recipe that is great for a soft facial wash, even for those with sensitive skin.

Chamomile Face Wash

Use ¼ cup of liquid Castile soap and ¼ cup of chamomile tea brewed. Combine with ¾ teaspoon of either olive oil or avocado. Other options to replace this ingredient include hazelnut, grape-seed or sweet almond. Add 8 drops of some essential oil and several drops of Vitamin E for soft skin.

Once all of these items are combined and mixed well, pour the mixture into a pump bottle or soap dispenser. Pump a few drops into your hands and gently wash your face as you normally would, avoiding eye contact.

For dry skin, you can use lavender or chamomile essential oils. Oily skin benefits from tea rose and lemongrass. If you are older, you might want to consider lavender or jasmine to stimulate new skin cells.

If you don't want to use chamomile tea, you can use rose water or even distilled water. Another variation is to look for scented Castile soaps and leave out the essential oils for this recipe.

A side benefit of this facial cleanser is that it works as a makeup remover. Dilute it even more and use it in the shower as a body wash. Put the cleanser in the refrigerator to help it last longer. By adding some Vitamin E drops, you can get it to last even longer since the vitamin is a natural preservative.

Many natural ingredients make good facial cleansers, such as honey, oil and yogurt. However, not all of them can be stored in a soap dispenser without clogging the pump. Look for one with a thin consistency if you want to use the pump for application. It helps reduce mess and ensures that you get only the amount you need.

Staying away from all of those chemicals in packaged facial cleansers and make your own with natural ingredients may be the best choice for you. The process is much easier than you think, and your skin will thank you for it. Just be sure to test it in a small area to make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in this recipe or any other recipe you may decide to create. Enjoy the benefits of all natural beauty and skin care products.
