Homemade Facial Cleanser Recipes

September 17, 2009

Woman with facial mask and cukes on eyes.Instead of spending money on high priced facial cleansers, I now use the Oil Cleansing Method. Take a clean bottle and fill it with 1/3 Castor oil and the remainder olive oil. Shake well to combine.

Cleanse face with a quarter size puddle massaging into face well for several minutes. Then, soak a washcloth in hot water and drape over face to let steam. Do this at least 3 times and after the final steaming, wipe face with the washcloth. Your face should feel soft and smooth and not oily at all.

This is a good remedy for people who suffer from oily skin, ironically. It replenishes your skin's natural oil and sebum production theoretically will slow down. If you suffer from acne, adding a couple of drops of tea tree oil will help clear up pimples. This is gentle enough to use daily.

Does anyone have any advice or opinions about using baby lotion as a facial cleanser? My skin is dry and sensitive and baby lotion seems the best bet because where I live it is cheap compared to "sensitive skin" products. It is even half the price of Ponds cold cream!



At the same time, I don't want to save money at the expense of doing damage to my face. If it is ok to use it, can it be applied and rinsed off or do you put it on with cotton wool, or what? Can anyone help, please?

I wouldn't use it as a facial cleanser but I have heard baby oil is good to clean your skin, I've used it before for taking off makeup like eye makeup and such since its so gentle on the skin. Hope this helps any:-)

I use baby wipes. They are wonderful for removing mascara, eyeliner,makeup, etc., without drying out skin. They have a built in lubricant for delicate baby skin and do such a great job.

I don't like to use petroleum products on my skin, such as the mineral oil in baby oil. I use baby wipes and I take scissors and cut them into 3" squares. They're great.

I use Peter Thomas Roth chamomile wash and it works great. Does anyone have some Olive Oil suggestions to use to wash my face instead? I bet it would be cheaper then what I pay.

I use only warm water with a wash cloth then apply Vaseline or baby oil. I've done this for many years, no wrinkles, good luck.

Years ago I read an article on using oil on ones face for a cleanser and I did it for a long time; olive oil was the recommended oil.

Fill the basin with fairly hot water. Use cotton ball to put very thin layer of olive oil on face [cover hair with towel or shower cap to avoid oiling the hair too]. Use mild facial soap of your choice to make slight lather in you hands.When you have enough lather to suit you, use it to wash your face using your hands.

Then dip into that warm water and splash face at least 10 times until there is no sign of soap. Pat lightly. In a way, it's like using a superfatted soap to clean your skin.
