Feb. 19, 2008 - Tightwad Tuesday - homemade cleansers

 

Cleansing Milk

1/2 c. yogurt

1 T. canola oil (or any other light oil)

1-1/2 t. lemon juice

Mix ingredients and store in the fridge.

To use:  Pour a small amount on your hand and massage your face.  Rinse well.  Pat dry.  Follow up with moisturizer.  (I have not personally tried this recipe.)

 

Honey Cleanser

2 T. liquid soap - Liquid castile soap works well, according to the information I found.  However, it was very hard to find at the stores.

1/4 c. honey

1/4 c. distilled water

Stir ingredients, being careful not to beat because that will cause soap to form instead of just cleanser.  This recipe works well in a bottle with a pump.

To use: Pour small amount in hand and gently wash your face.  Rinse.  Pat dry. Follow up with moisturizer.  (I have not personally tried this one yet.)

I am going to check into the book and dvd resources asap. I have never tried homemade cleansers before, I'll have to check into those too. Hope you are having a great day.

Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap should be fairly easy to find at any natural foods/health foods store, especially chains like Whole Foods, Earth Fare, etc. I believe Vitamin World (I think that's the name) also carries it. It can also be ordered from the Dr. Bronner's website and a lot of other online retailers carry it as well. We use it - wonderful product!

Stacy, I think I may have requested the very last history DVD lol. The lady called me back and said someone had added them to a "freebie" site and they had over 3000 requests so pulled the offer this morning. lol
