5 Best Homemade Moisturizers And Face Washes

There is nothing better than healthy, smooth skin without any wrinkles.

Unfortunately, most of the commercial skin care products that are available contain toxic,

dangerous chemicals that not only cost a fortune but also are dangerous for your health.

The good news is that we’re going to tell you how to wash your face and get rid of those

wrinkles and saggy face skin.

But what if we told you there was a cheap, effective way to detoxify and clean your skin?

Alright, so let’s get down to business.

You want an affordable face wash that works.

Luckily for you, we’re experts on how to wash your face.

If you want your skin detoxified and cleaned, you only need two ingredients to make this

anti-wrinkle and anti-aging cream and moisturizer.

The ingredients that you need for a clean face are coconut oil and baking soda.

According to the DAILY HEALTH POST, baking soda is amphoteric.

This means that it will neutralize the ph imbalances by acting as a base or acid because

it’s an alkaline substance.

It also contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties according to HEALTHLINE.

Essentially, it’s a great tool for detoxing, cleaning and a great way to wash your face.

Secondly, the DAILY HEALTH POST explains that can be an incredibly nourishing moisturizer

because of its antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Those properties can help heal skin conditions such as dry skin and eczema.

According to TED LAIN, MD, a dermatologist in Austin, Texas, coconut oil is an excellent

moisturizer and a great anti-inflammatory, so its use for treating eczema is on the rise.

WHITNEY P. BOWE, MD, a dermatologist at Advanced Dermatology PC in Westchester and NYC, agrees

that the combination of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-bacterial and hydrating

products that coconut oil and baking soda contain, makes this anti-wrinkle and anti-aging

cream unique.

She adds that the saturated fats and medium-chain fatty acids that coconut oil contains are

what hydrates the skin and repairs the skin barrier.

To make this natural recipe, you’ll need two teaspoons of organic extra-virgin coconut

oil and one teaspoon of aluminum-free baking soda.

Take the two ingredients and mix them together in a small bowl.

Ensure that when you’re mixing them they form a paste which you will gently apply to

your skin in a circular motion, says the DAILY HEALTH POST.

Leave it on your face for five minutes and then rinse it off with warm water by massaging

your skin in a circular motion again.

If you do this correctly, you should be left with a detoxed, clean face thanks to this

face wash and moisturizer mixture.

One thing to remember is that these two chemicals can be harmful if you are allergic to them.

Also, they can also irritate your skin if you have sensitive skin so be careful when

applying it.

If you feel any burning sensation or develop a rash from this, remove immediately.

Remember, no clean face is worth any kind of pain.

But that’s not it, there are plenty of other affordable mixtures that you can make in order

to wash your face!

Let’s go over some of the other face washes that you can use and create to achieve a really

clean face!

Keep in mind however that all faces are different.

Some may work for you, others might not.

There is a fair bit of experimentation needed to find the right face wash for you.

The important things to remember are not to give up and to watch out for allergies.

The last thing you want when you’re trying to get a moisturized, detoxed and clean face

is a bunch of hives!

1) The Lavender Face Wash.

Ah yes, lavender.

One of nature’s finest plants in terms of smell and looks.

Of course that this natural face wash that uses the beautiful would be the perfect thing

for turning your dry, broken out skin into a clean, brilliant face.

The ingredients for this homemade face wash are 1 table spoon of baking soda, 2 table

spoons of oatmeal, 1 tea spoon of dried lavender and a bit of honey.

First, you’ll take all the dry ingredients and grind them up together.

Add the bit of honey to your palm, then add in about a tea spoon of the dry ingredients.

Mix it all together in your palm, then wash your face with warm water and the mix.

This should leave your face feeling clean, moisturized and most of all, detoxified.

Probably smelling a bit of lavender too, which in our books is a plus.

2) Homemade Honey Cleanser.

Speaking of honey, we should explore a face wash that takes advantage of honey’s incredible

power of power absorbing and retaining moisture.

This one comes to us from the people at RUBIES AND RADISHES and it’s a little bit complicated,

so try to keep up.

The ingredients you’ll need for this cleaning mixture are 1 table spoon of honey (the people

at RUBIES AND RADISHES recommend that it be local and raw), 1 ounce of vegetable glycerin,

2 ounces of castile soap, 5 drops of lavender essential oil and finally, distilled water.

You’ll also probably want to get an 8 ounce soap dispenser, which you can find at a lot

of dollar stores.

You’ll want one of these so that the mixture is easy to get onto your hands and then onto

your face.

Just a couple pumps and you’re ready to go!

To make the mixture, heat up your distilled water in a pot and when it’s hot enough for

your tastes, place a measuring cup in the pot.

Next, you’ll want to add your raw, local honey alongside your glycerin.

Whisk everything together.

Finally, add your castile soap and your lavender, then transfer everything into your 8 ounce

pump bottle.

You can fill the rest of the bottle with some more distilled water if need be.

Using this mixture is just as simple as making it.

Pump a small amount of soap into your hands and massage your face and neck.

Rinse off with warm water and pat your face dry.

And that’s it!

Your face will be “a buzz” with shining beauty when you’re done using this honey based face

wash.

You’ll “bee” very pleased once you’re done using it.

That was a bee joke, you see because it’s a honey based face wash.

Moving on.

3) Apple Face Cleaner.

An apple a day keeps the dry skin away is a remake of a famous saying we just made up,

but in a way, it’s pretty true.

Turns out this doctor repellent is also great for repelling dry skin.

Huh, who knew.

Here’s what you’ll need to make it: 2 peeled apple slices, a half cup of plain yogurt,

a half table spoon of olive oil and a half table spoon of our old friend honey.

To make it, you just toss all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until it’s

smooth.

Gee, that’s probably the easiest face wash to make we’ve featured in this video today.

And applying it is just as simple.

Like with many other moisturizers and face washes, just massage it onto the dry parts

of your face, leave for five minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.

And there you have it!

A fruity facial fluid for a fresh face!

4) Frugal Face Flush.

Speaking of F alliterations, here’s a face wash that you can create at home that won’t

break the budget.

Sure, raw local honey and plain yogurt all sound good, but the former is hard to find

and the latter can turn out to be expensive.

Luckily, if those both sound like problems you’d run into, we have the solution for you.

For this mixture, all you’ll need is 2 teaspoons of liquid face soap or baby wash, 2 tablespoons

of water, 2 tablespoons of glycerin, a 1/2 cup of olive oil and finally, a clean, empty

pump bottle.

Like the face wash we discussed before, making this dry skin defeater is easy as pie.

Just toss your ingredients into a food processor or blender and mix until it’s smooth, thick

and creamy.

Then, dump it all into your empty pump bottle, turning it into a full pump bottle.

The creators of this recipe, PRAIRIE COTTAGE ROSE recommend quadrupling this recipe to

make enough for six months.

Imagine that– six months of having a clean, washed face!

Definitely sign us up for that one!

To use this stuff is also really simple.

First, you’ll pump a quarter-size amount of cleanser into your hand.

Gently massage into your neck area, face, eyelids, and eyelashes for about one minute.

Remove with a warm wash cloth.

Rinse the wash cloth in warm water and gently remove any remaining dirt or makeup off your

face.

And oh yeah, there’s one more step– enjoy your clean, moisturized and detoxed skin!

And that’s it!
