DIY ideas for Skin and Face, Go natural easily

Deep cleaning skin and face wash - revives - tingling (skin issues) 

Skin & face deep cleaning.

+Natural & Frugal: Raising 6 kids 

Refreshing & tingling deep cleaning skin & face wash that is great for any skin type but is also great for dry skin, oily skin, eczema, psoriasis , acne, blackheads & blemishes.

I will share several versions & you can use the one that works best for you or create your own version, one of the great things about DIY beauty is the measurements are just guides, you can customize it to fit what works for you. maybe you want it thicker, or maybe you want it thinner. maybe you want to change something else, go ahead!

We just mix right in our palm for each use, so these recipes are for small amounts, you can make a larger batch & keep in an airtight container & see how that works. These will sting if they get in your eyes.

Recipe #1: 3 parts baking soda 1 part warm water & 1 or 2 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. (eucalyptus can be strong so I do recommend only 1 drop & if it is to strong for your skin use peppermint essential oil instead. Options: add 1 drop Lemon &/or Orange essential oils, use Borax instead of baking soda or both.

Recipe #2:  3 parts baking soda 1 part warm water & 1 or 2 drops of Olbas bath or Olbas massage oil, rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. This is very tingling & refreshing, just make sure to not add to much Olbas. Options: 1 part raw coconut oil instead of water (or another raw oil of choice or body butter)

Recipe #3:  3 parts Borax, 1 part water, 1 drop Acne-Fighter Synergy or 1 drop of Anti-Eczema Synergy rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. Options: Use baking soda instead of Borax or both, Use essential oil of choice.

Recipe #4: 3 parts baking soda 1 part natural liquid soap, 1 drop Germ-Fighter Synergy rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. Options: or use Immune-Aid Synergy. Ideas for natural liquid soap you can use Castle soap, Tropical Traditions liquid or foam, or All Terrain Wonder wash.

Recipe #5:  3 parts baking soda, 1 part virgin coconut oil or body butter, 1 to 2 drops essential oil of choice. rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. Options: for essential oils use Eucalyptus & lemon, or Lavender & peppermint, or Rosemary, or use any of the other oils suggested above or whatever works best for your skin & is not to strong for you. Use warm water instead of oil

Recipe #6:  3 parts baking soda 1 part clay, 1 drop of any oil of choice & enough warm water to make a paste,  rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. Options: Don't use baking soda just use clay, you do not have to use essential oil, use colloidal silver or peroxide instead of water. For clay choices any bentonite clay is fine or use Terramin powder or Earths living clay paste.

Recipe #6: 2 parts baking soda, 1 part Activated Charcoal & enough warm water to make a paste,  rub together in your hand & create a paste then rub gently & evenly in circles on wet skin/face, let sit a few minutes & wash off with warm water. Options: Essential oils of choice, Borax instead of baking soda, raw oil of choice etc. (activated charcoal review & uses blog post coming soon)

As you can tell you have lots of options for what works best for your face & skin.

If you need more moisturizing after you wash your skin or face simply rub on some virgin coconut oil, palm shortening or body butter. Or Spritz skin with Rose water or other floral water.
