Natural Facial Cleanser Recipes

Easy, healthy homemade facial recipes to make the best natural facial cleanser for your skin type





I can't remember the last time I bought a commercial cleanser. Once I started using these natural facial cleanser recipes I never looked back. I make them for myself, my husband, son, mom and sisters.


First, making your own homemade face cleanser is WAY cheaper than buying even cheap drugstore brands.


Second, you're using only healthy, natural ingredients - no fillers or harsh chemicals that strip your skin of vitality.


You have complete control over what you put in your own natural facial cleanser recipes, and you can customize depending on the changing needs of your skin. (For example, I use the Facial Cleanser Cream for most of the month but switch to the Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash when I break out during PMS.)


How to Use Natural Facial Cleanser Recipes

homemade face cleanser Everyone should clean their face at least once a day - just before bedtime is ideal. The quiet ritual of cleansing, toning and moisturizing can help settle your mind for rest, and the therapeutic properties of the essential oils not only support your skin but also soothe your nerves and calm your thoughts.


Generally speaking, you shouldn't need to cleanse again in the morning. Overwashing can strip away the skin's natural, protective oils, which will cause dryness. The exception to this is if you have extremely oily skin or are struggling with acne - you may find that washing morning and night helps reduce breakouts.


Choose one (or more!) of the facial cleanser recipes most suitable for your skin type. Try them out and see how your skin responds. Don't be afraid to play around with the essential oils based on what your gut tells you would work best. (Just remember to maintain the correct percentage of essential oils to other ingredients.)


One critical point: your skin takes 3 to 4 weeks to renew itself, so don't give up after a week or two - wait a month before trying something new.

Best Essential Oils for your Skin

I personally buy all my essential oils from dōTERRA because they're the purest and most effective.

They have an amazing anti-aging blend called Immortelle plus a couple of excellent blends for acne. (Click on Shop for Products in the top right corner, choose your country and click through to Oil Blends.) Or contact me to get a wholesale discount.

Whatever they don't have, I get from Mountain Rose Herbs.

This is just something I really like (not aromatherapy related) ...


I LOVE my juicer! I use it every day, and since I started a couple of years ago, here's what's happened:

  • I've lost 30 pounds
  • My skin has cleared up
  • My energy has improved
  • I don't get sick as much
  • My depression is gone (mostly)
Seriously, juicing is AMAZING!

I found this ebook while poking around for recipes on the internet, and I like it so much I thought I'd share it with you.

If you're into healthy eating or raw foods, this book has super-simple, delicious juice recipes you'll love.

Philip McClusky, the author, lost over 200 pounds eating raw foods and using these recipes. Just sayin'

If you're thinking of upgrading your diet, this is a quick, easy, yummy way to get an instant health boost. Check it out!
