How to Make Homemade Face Wash

Many ingredients from your kitchen shelves provide simple ways to achieve healthy and beautiful skin. Overindulgence in chemical filled cosmetics or negligence to take proper care of our skin causes it to lose its natural oils and nutrients. Relying on herbal elements to take care of your skin, especially on the face and neck, will not only enhance your natural beauty but may also help slow down the appearance of aging.

Things You'll Need

• Milk
• Salt
• Cotton balls
• Honey
• Fuller's earth
• Orange juice
• Instant oatmeal
• Lemon juice
• Chickpea powder
• Turmeric
• Papaya or avocado
• Yogurt

Instructions

1. Stir together 1/2 cup cold milk and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Soak a cotton ball and gently dab all over your face. After the milk dries in 2 to 3 minutes, dip a cotton ball again in the mixture and rub lightly in a circular motion and wash off with water. Milk removes dirt from deep pores and salt exfoliates dead skin resulting in instant brightness.

2. Mix a tablespoon of honey and fuller's earth with a few drops of orange juice and apply it liberally over your face. Rinse it off after a minute for an instant glow from the orange juice. Also, apply a few drops of plain orange juice on your forehead and cheeks and wash it off for a natural shine.

3. Take 1 tbsp. of instant oatmeal and add 1 tsp. of honey and lemon juice to make a loose paste. Apply it all over forehead, face and neck. When it begins to dry, rub using brisk, firm movement to remove dead cells and stimulate the skin. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

4. Blend 1/2 tsp. of chickpea powder along with a pinch of turmeric and honey. Blend this well with milk for dry skin or yogurt for oily skin and apply on your face. Massage in circular motion and wash away. The chickpea powder exfoliates your skin and honey moisturizes.

5. Mash together the flesh of papaya or avocado along with 1 tsp. each of honey and yogurt. Apply on the face and rinse after two minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Always use lukewarm water to open the pores before applying the face wash. Wash with cold water to close the pores afterward.

• Do not exfoliate your skin more than twice a week.
