In skincare, the cardinal rule is to wash your face every night before going to bed. That is the advice of my grandmothers, my mother, and my well-trusted dermatologist. And believe me, ever since I became a religious face washer, I have seen a HUGE difference. These days, I give importance to skin care more than makeup. Using an organic facial wash and all-natural products has been the thing in my bathroom too!
What I Love About This Recipe
I am glad I found an easy facial wash recipe that is all natural and made with my favorite citrus essential oil – sweet orange! I love how it brightens my face with every use, and it feels extra clean too.
What’s in the Organic Facial Wash?
Baking Soda
Baking Soda makes up the base for this recipe!
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil allows for the essential oils to be completely diluted and safe to apply to your skin. Any carrier oil can work for this, but we decided to use fractionated coconut oil.
Orange Essential Oil
Orange Essential Oil smells great, but did you know it also helps brighten the skin? Big companies like The Body Shop use Orange Essential Oil to create a skincare line specifically to brighten skin tone, and it works wonders!
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
