3 All-Natural DIY Cleansers Your Skin Will Love
Today, we decided to talk to you about our recent obsession – DIY facial cleansers!
According to beauty experts and dermatologists, cleansing is one of the most important steps of one’s skin care routine. When you cleanse your skin you not only purify and detoxify it, but you also prepare it for any forthcoming advanced treatments, and facilitate their absorption and distribution in the deeper layers of the skin. A good cleanser, suitable for your skin type and the seasons, can have a huge impact on the way your skin looks and feels.
We’ve tried many recipes over the course of the past month, and we’ve managed to narrow our favorite to 3 (it was tough, but we did it!) So, if you love playing with homemade beauty products, and you are in the mood for some “cooking”, join us!
Let’s “take the day off” our faces gently and naturally!
For Dry/Mature Skin
In order to stay healthy and supple, dry skin has to be moisturized and nourished daily. Applying moisturizer every morning though, is not the only way to get this done.
Believe it or not, while you cleanse your skin, you can re-hydrate it and deliver important nutrients to the dermis (where the whole magic of skin regeneration happens), without having to sacrifice the feeling of deeply purified skin.
Our favorite recipe: Homemade Honey & Aloe Vera Facial Cleanser
Why we love this recipe: Aloe Vera is an outstanding moisturizing agent that soothes the skin and relieves tightness and dryness. Honey is a nutrient-rich cocktail and potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, reducing the visible signs of aging, and preventing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Jojoba oil gently dissolves all impurities trapped into the pores and creates a thin protective layer, to help retain moisture levels high, for a more glowing, soft and smooth skin.
For Oily/Combination Skin
Cleansing oily skin, without over drying or irritating it, is not an easy task. On one hand, oily skin needs to be detoxified and purified in depth, as it is more prone to congestion, but on the other, in order for it to stay healthy, its lipid barrier must not be disrupted. Since oily skin is hard to please, finding a gentle, yet effective cleanser is essential for keeping it happy and breakout-free. Thankfully, once again, nature got you covered!
Our favorite recipe: Detox Homemade Facial Cleanser
Why we love this recipe: While this might not be your typical liquid foaming cleanser (actually it’s not liquid, at all), don’t be in a hurry to give up on it. Thanks to the perfect combo of all-natural, skin-friendly ingredients, this cleanser works like a charm, without stripping your skin of its natural oils!
Bentonite and caoline draw impurities out, reduce inflammation and absorb excess oil. Activated charcoal detoxifies the skin and pulls all pollutants out of your pores, minimizing the risk of breakouts. Essential oils make the use of this cleanser a true pleasure, and apart from that provide anti-inflammatory and healing benefits.
For Normal Skin
Normal skin may not be very “pretentious” when it comes to cleansers and skin care in general, but that doesn’t mean you can use just about anything on it. Regardless of whether you wear makeup or not, cleansing your skin at the end of the day is a must, and should always be done with a product that doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight and dry.
Our favorite recipe: Jojoba Oil & Rose Water Facial Cleanser
Why we love this recipe: The main reason we have love this recipe is because it is super simple (2 ingredients only!), yet the product does its job perfectly (it removes even waterproof makeup!).
Jojoba oil is the only vegetable oil that has structure, almost identical to the structure of the sebum your skin naturally produces. This makes it ideal for replenishing skin’s lipid barrier, dissolving impurities and breaking down oil-based makeup.
Rose water soothes and moisturizes the skin, enhancing its natural radiance and beauty. It smells divine and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized. Besides that rose water strengthens skin’s protective barrier and improves skin's resistance to external aggressors. What not to love about it?
