Finding an all natural face cleaner that worked proved to be harder than I thought. Creating one, not so much. Melaleuca is a natural antiseptic for the face best known for treating acne so of course this was the first thing I thought of to add to my blend. Lavender is a very soothing oil that is known to help settle inflammation. Geranium also helps to soothe inflammation & irritated skin, plus helps to balance sebum production, making it a great oil for either oily or dry skin. Frankincense is known to help with many skin conditions from acne to wrinkles. And lastly, using an alcohol-free witch hazel (a natural toner/astringent) helps to cleanse & tighten skin.
Facial Cleanser & Toner in 1:
Facial Cleanser & Toner in 1:
2oz glass spray bottle
10 drops Melaleuca essential oil
6 drops Lavender essential oil
4 drops Geranium essential oil
3 drops Frankincense essential oil
Thayer's Alcohol-free witch hazel
Cotton Rounds
10 drops Melaleuca essential oil
6 drops Lavender essential oil
4 drops Geranium essential oil
3 drops Frankincense essential oil
Thayer's Alcohol-free witch hazel
Cotton Rounds
Drip the EOs into the spray bottle and fill the rest with Thayer's witch hazel. Put the spray top on and gently shake to blend everything together. I again do a gentle shake the next time I use the spray.
I use this blend daily. Just spray it a few times onto the round and wipe across face. I usually turn the round over spray again and wipe across another time. You will most likely want to do that too when you see the dirt it removes from your face!
After I clean my face I use Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on my face for a moisturizer. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal & doesn't clog pores. Keep in mind a small amount goes a long way. ;)
