Natural Cleansers

People often struggle with which cleansers to use on their face. They have oily faces, or dry faces, and they aren't sure which brands will work best with their skins.

It's time to go back to natural: natural facial cleansers that is. Here are several natural ingredients, and ways you can use them to utilize the brilliance of your face, and to keep your pores clean.


1) Honey - Honey has many fabulous uses, but a great one is a daily facial cleanser. If you're not wearing makeup, you simply need to take a small amount of honey and rub it onto your face. You can then wash it off with warm water. If you are wearing makeup, you should add some baking soda to the honey, and place them on a damp wash cloth. That way, you're creating a paste that will clean your face, and remove the makeup effectively.

• Oily skin? Try adding lemon juice to the honey you place on your skin.
• Dry skin? Try added milk or cream to create a sort of paste. 

2) Oil - Oil has many uses as well, ranging from cooking to health, to cleaning. You can truly utilize all of oils potential for a facial cleanser as well. This has become a recent fad mainly because washing your face with oil moisturizes your skin. For this cleanser, all you have to do is apply it to your skin in soft circles. 

• If you have oily skin, you might want to avoid this natural facial cleanser. It might make your face even more oily.

3) Yogurt - Instead of eating this dairy product, you might try applying it to your pores. Yogurt is rich in several ingredients that help to detoxify your skin. Depending on the scent that you want for your facial cleanser, you can either add lemon or essential oils. For this cleanser, you can leave it on your face for a couple of minutes, and then wash it off.

• Massaging the yogurt into your skin will help to remove any dirt from your pores, or makeup from your skin.

4) Grains - Everyone knows that you can use oats to create a mask for your skin, but many people don't realize what other types of grains you can use. You can take a handful of almonds, crush them up, and then combine it with a liquid to create a paste. This is the same thing you would do with oats. 

• For Dry Skin: Yogurt, Milk, or Cream
• For Oily Skin: Water or Lemon Juice
• For Average Skin: Peppermint Tea, Water, Glycerin, or Honey
