As per request, I am posting a face wash recipe that is easy to make and free of toxic chemicals.
Homemade Face Wash
1 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp baking soda
5 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops frankincense essential oil
5 drops lemon essential oil
*for people suffering from acne, replace the frankincense and lemon with 10 drops of melaleuca (tea tree) essential oil Melt the coconut oil in a pan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.
Store the face wash in an air tight glass jar. Please use glass, not plastic as the concentrated strength will strip the plastic putting toxins into your once non-toxic face wash.
The essential oils and coconut oil work together to kill any bacteria while keeping your skin hydrated and feeling health and clean.
Please note: I only recommend using Young Living essential oils as they are pure, therapeutic grade essential oils and therefore are safe to use topically. I can not vouch for the safety of any other brands of oils and therefore can not recommend their topical application.
Let me know if you give the recipe a try and what you think!
Feel free to contact me anytime with questions on this or any other recipe, or how to buy Young Living essential oils.
