Homemade Skin Cleansers
The Trouble with Packaged Skin Cleansers
A regular cleansing ritual is important to maintaining great looking skin. Yet most commercial facial cleansers probably leave you with more skin problems than what you started with. What is going on here? Well, most of these cleansers in their attempt to leave the skin squeaky clean actually strip the oil out of your skin. This unfortunately means our skin has to repair itself and does so by generating more oil and essentially over-compensating for this severe lack of moisture. This leads to trapped debris, acne and blackheads.
And to make matters worse, these products are usually scented to smell like what we think of as a ‘clean smell. Well these fragrances irritate the skin causing it to become red, itchy and inflamed. Sound like a recipe for disaster? You bet it is.
All Natural Skin Cleansers- The Way to Go
To get that flawless skin that you have always wanted you should be using all natural skin products. These products will gently cleanse the skin while keeping it hydrated. Below are some great skin cleansing recipes that use products right from your kitchen cupboards! Find your skin type and see the difference.
Olive Oil Skin Cleanse- Balanced Skin
Oil dissolves oil. The oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed.
Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon of Sunflower Seed Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon of Castor Oil
Suggested Usage:
• Blend together oil in palm of hand and smooth mixture over face.
• Massage for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This will remove makeup, dirt, and other impurities.
• Wash face with clean, steamy water. You want the water to be warm enough to open your pores and remove the oil. Cool water will not open your pores, nor will it remove the oil efficiently.
Cornmeal Cleanser- for Oily Skin
Ingredients:
• Castile soap
• 1 Teaspoon Cornmeal
Suggested Usage:
• Wet face. Pour a little castile soap into the palm of your hand, add cornmeal.
• Mix meal and soap into a lather, wash face, avoiding area around eyes.
Honey Cleanser-For Dry Skin
Ingredients:
• Castile soap
• 1 Teaspoon Honey
Suggested Usage:
• Wet face. Pour castile soap into the palm of your hand, add honey.
• Mix honey and soap into a lather, wash face.

My previous habit of eating lots of junk food was making me feel very unmotivated and tired all the time. A few months ago I decided to consider a detox and I am so thankful for it.
