How To Make a Charcoal Face Wash
This simple, 5-ingredient activated charcoal face wash helps balance oily skin, reduce the appearance of pores, tame acne, and exfoliate skin.
Yield: 8 ounces
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 8 ounce pump bottle
Materials
- 3 tablespoons liquid Castile soap
- 2 teaspoons activated charcoal

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 drops Roman chamomile essential oil
