- ½ cup rose water (more or less—depending on your preferred consistency)
- 2 tablespoons Castile soap
- 4 drops rosehip essential oil
- 4 drops chamomile essential oil
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or substitute any other carrier oil you prefer)
Instructions
- Using a small funnel, combine all the ingredients in a bottle. Screw the lid on tight, and shake well to combine.
- To use, rub a dime-size amount between your hands and gently massage into skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse completely with cool water.
Notes
To use, rub a dime-size amount between your hands and gently massage into skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse completely with cool water. Be sure to shake well before each use in case of separation.
If using fresh aloe vera gel, store face wash in the refrigerator and use within a week. If using store-bought aloe vera, your face wash should last a month without the need for refrigeration. As always, if you notice any changes in smell or texture, it's best to toss it out and make a fresh batch.
