DIY Face Wash

The first of many recipes to come.

DIY Face Wash

Incredibly moisturizing, leaving skin clean and soft, and the best part is: 

IT'S EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE 

Let's get to it...

Ingredients:

+ 1/3 Cup Castile Soap (Dr. Bronners- I chose Unscented)

 + 1 Tbs Fractionated Coconut oil 

+ (Optional) 1 Tbs Raw Organic Honey

+ 5 drops Lavender Oil

+ 5 drops Frankincense Oil

 + 5 drops Lemon Oil

(all oils that come in the Premium Starter Kit) 

+ Foaming Pump Bottle

Here's a link to where I found mine

This stuff is all natural and highly concentrated and comes in lots of different scents, I picked the basic unscented to remain universal but have fun with it and put your own little twist on it!

You might already know this but if not, heres a quick run down.

Coconut oil is the holy grail of fatty oils and a natural anti-bacterial. In it's natural state it has a pesky tendency to solidify in temperatures below 76 degrees F. That's why for recipes like this, or creating a roller for instance, you want FRACTIONATED coconut oil. Fractionated C.O. remains liquified and won't turn waxy on ya. 

Combine your Castile Soap and Coconut Oil. 

Next, measure 1 Tbs of Raw, Organic, Honey (bonus points if it's local). Honey is packed with antioxidants and naturally anti-bacterial making it great for acne treatment and prevention. It will also help in repairing skin and protecting it against oxidative and environmental damage. I also happen to LOVE the smell of Honey and Lavender together. 

Tip: if you're smart, use the same tablespoon you used to measure your coconut oil and your honey won't stick to the spoon! 

Oil Time!

Tea Tree

Frankincense

Geranium

Lemon

Lavender

Manuka 

Copaiba

these are all oils that are FANTASTIC for your face/skin. Manuka is currently headed my way in this month's order!!!

I picked 

Lavender for acne,wrinkle, and any inflamation

Frankincense for cell protection and turn over, reduce blemishes and scarring, shrinking pores, moisture, and tightening (lets just take a moment to let Frank know how much we love him)

and Lemon for brightening, lightening, and a happy wake up call in the morning 

After adding your 5 drops of each essential oil, fill your pump bottle with water (slightly warmer to help melt the honey) and gently shake or stir.

It ended up being exactly 1 Cup of water to fill my bottle with enough space at the top for the pump lid. 

And there you have it darlings, took me about 7min and I can rest easy knowing that all of these ingredients are safe and natural and will not harm my body. 

Wash morning and evening (yes, evening, WASH YOUR FACE).

If there's one thing Anna will stress being the skin guru I am *hair flip* do not go to bed with your make up on. Your pores will hate you. 

Any who, that's all I've got for today. I hope you found this helpful, as always feel free to reach out with any questions.

With Love, 

Awn.
