Why Make Your Own Facial Cleanser?
Washing your face is an integral part of self-care, but creating a gentle facial cleanser at home can make it even better!

Making your gentle facial cleanser could open up the door to finding a product even better than what’s available on store shelves.

Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has been oxidized (left with the cap off for long periods of time) it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
Some essential oil recipes are not generally safe to use if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor prior to use.
