DIY Face Wash

Hi!!

Today, I thought I would tell you about a homemade face wash that I made about two weeks ago for the first time. It has really helped my skin. I used honey and powdered milk in the first recipe, but in the second formula, I added finely chopped oatmeal. This has been great and really decreased my acne. I have sensitive skin, and this is perfect to help keep redness and new breakouts at bay. Depending on how much of the cleanser you want to make, you'll want to use either tablespoons or teaspoons.

You'll need:

3 tablespoons/teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons/teaspoons powdered milk
1 tablespoon/teaspoon finely chopped oatmeal (optional)
1 tupperware container w/ a lid

Gather all of the ingredients and melt the honey in the microwave. Let it cool slightly and then pour it into the container. Dump all of the powdered milk into the tupperware, and then stir well. If you chose to use oatmeal, now is the time to chop it. Once it's chopped, throw it in to the container. Stir well. The cleanser is all done!

To use it, wet your face with warm water. Dip your finger into the cleanser and the amount should just coat the tip of your finger. Rub the cleanser over one section of your face (i.e. forehead), then repeat all over the rest of your face. Rinse the cleanser off well so that the honey doesn't make your face sticky.

I hope this helps your skin as much as it has helped mine.
