Raw Honey Face Wash Recipe
This honey face wash combines the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and natural humectant power of honey with the gentle cleansing action of Castile soap.
Yield: 6 ounces
Cost: $8
Equipment
- 8-ounce glass jar or bottle
Materials
- ¼ cup raw honey
- ¼ cup distilled water (or rose water or coconut water)
- 2 tablespoons liquid Castile soap
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 12 drops essential oil of your choice
Instructions
- In a container add water, soap, honey, then avocado oil, and gently stir to combine.
- If you’d like to treat a particular skin issue like abnormal pigmentation or oil control, then add 3–6 drops of the best essential oil for treating that issue. Stir again.
Notes
To use, apply as you would a facial cleanser, with slight pressure and circular motions all over your face and neck. Rinse with warm water to remove.
The ingredients in this face wash have a tendency to separate, so mix it well before each use.
Store leftover face wash in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it should keep for a long time if made with distilled water. If mixed with another type of water, use it within 1–2 weeks.
