Always
use warm/tepid water, never hot or too cold.
Splashing
your face with cool water after washing will help close your pores.
Always
apply cleansers and lotion in an upward circular motion, so you
are not pulling on your skin.
When
you dry your face, pat it with a towel, don't wipe.
Always
use products that best fit your skin type to avoid irritation and
damage.
Castile
Cleanser
3
tbsp liquid castile soap
1/4
cup honey
1/4
cup distilled water
1
tsp glycerine
Mix
all ingredients in a squeeze bottle or pump bottle and mix well by
stirring. Before each use, swirl bottle to mix ingredients.
Clay
Mask Cleanser
2
tbsp facial clay (green, kaolin)
2
tbsp glycerine
1
tsp liquid castile soap
1/2
cup distilled water
Mix
all ingredients in a jar thoroughly. Put a small amount in hand
and make a lather. Apply to face in a circular motion. Rinse with
warm water.
Plain
oatmeal
is a great natural cleanser. Grind oatmeal to a fine powder and
mix with water. Rub on face in a circular motion and rinse with
warm water.
You
can also place oatmeal flakes (not ground)
in cheesecloth and tie with a rubber band. Get the oatmeal wet and
rub on face. Rinse with warm water.
Plain
Castile soap
works great for a facial cleanser and hand cleanser and shower gel.
Castile soap should always be diluted when using. I've seen and
used different variations, but my face can handle a 1:3 ratio of
castile soap to water. Do the same for hand cleanser and place in
a pump bottle. For shower gel, I use a 1:1 ratio and I add a little
almond oil to help smooth my skin. Shake well before using.
