My favorite Natural Skin Care Cleanser

  • 1 tablespoon castor oil
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Extra ingredients (below)s. Use 1 drop of essential oil. When using vegetable oils such as jojoba, use 1 tablespoon.

 

Ingredients you can add to the Oil mixture:

  • Castor oil acts as a skin cleansing agent. It can be drying. If you skin is oily, add more castor oil instead of olive oil.
  • Olive oil also acts as a cleansing agent and is rich in  antioxidants and helps help free radical damage. Great for wrinkles!
  • Sandalwood Essential Oil has an astringent effect on oily skin and helps soothe irritated skin. Use sandalwood in facial blends to help balance the skin. Also helpful for removing wrinkles and scars.
  • Chamomile Powdered Herbal Extract is used for its anti-inflammatory properties. When added to cream and lotion formulations, chamomile powdered extract soothes irritated skin and reduces redness and swelling due to rashes or other irritations.
  • Tea Tree Essential Oil is helpful within acne products and can help fight cold sores and heal wounds.
  • Green Tea Leaf Powdered Herbal Extract is a powerful antioxidant that helps rejuvenate the skin, prevent damage from the sun and promote elasticity.
  • Carrot seed essential oil is used primarily for its healing properties and effects on the skin. It stimulates circulation, repairs and tones the skin, increases elasticity, reduces the formation of wrinkles, and scars.

Instructions:

Mix up the ingredients. This is for one face wash. Apply to skin in a circular motion for 2 minutes. Using a warm face cloth, rinse and wipe off face. Your face will feel very oily while you are cleansing. Do not worry. The face cloth will remove the excess oil and when you dry your face with a towel, this will too. The results are super soft skin!
