Why make your own face wash?
- Better for your skin and for the environment. The majority of store bought cleansers are filled with toxic chemicals that aren’t beneficial for your skin, your health, or the planet.
- It’s cheaper to make your own.
- Avoid creating unnecessary waste.
Things you’ll need:
Mixing bowl and plastic or wood spoon. (it’s very important NOT to touch the bentonite clay with metal)
Raw Honey
• Naturally anti-bacterial
• Moisturizing
• Promotes faster healing of blemishes
• Lightens and fades scars
• Calms inflammation
Bentonite Clay
• Detoxifies skin
• Helps balance oil production
Essential oils
Adding essential oils is optional. If you have extremely sensitive skin then I would suggest not using any. I personally use and love Rose Absolute, Rosehip, and Bergamot oils. There’s plenty of info online about which essential oils are good for different skin types. www.mercola.com is a good source, or just do a google search. Trust your instincts on what essential oils (if any) would be good for your skin. Learn to listen and be in tune with yourself. Your body knows what’s good for it!
Recipe:
Depending on the size of your container, you may need to adjust the size of this recipe.
Mix
• 4 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 tablespoons bentonite clay
• a few drops of essential oils if desired
You can add more honey or more clay to get the consistency you want. There’s no right or wrong.
To use this, I wet my face, gently massage product on, leave on for 30 seconds or longer, then rinse. I usually apply this at the beginning of my shower, and rinse off at the very end.
