Notes
- Not sure which face wash would be best for you? I recommend making a small batch and trying it for a couple of weeks to see how your skin responds. The gentle face wash is a great place to start.
- Aim to use your DIY face wash 1-2 times a day. It's a simple but impactful addition to a natural daily skincare routine.
- When drying your face, it's a good idea to pat it dry (don't rub) with a clean, soft towel.
- Follow up with a good moisturizer, such as homemade facial moisturizer or homemade night cream.
