DIY Facewash.

I love this face wash, truly, I do!  I've got to admit that I was hesitant to trade in my store bought acne wash and go to a wash that contains OIL.  But, I couldn't un-hear the words that I heard about the ingredients contained in store bought wash, so I marched into bathroom, picked up the wash, un-screwed the lid, and dumped it all down the sink.  Yep, I did!  I couldn't un-do that one either.  I had already quit using my prescription acne products (clindamycin gel and retin A cream) and started using Young Living's Claraderm spray instead.  This not only replaced my prescriptions, it also replaced my moisturizer.  Because the Claraderm spray replaced 3 products for me, I actually end up saving $10 a month and my skin is just as clear and even healthier than it was before!  That's what I call a win.

Back to the face wash.  I took the plunge and will never go back.

1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup unscented castile soap (I buy mine through vitacost.  By using this link you will get a discount off your first order: http://goo.gl/nGECcg).
1 TBSP baking soda
6 drops melaleuca oil
6 drops lavender oil
1 drop peppermint oil

Melt coconut oil in a saucepan.  Add other ingredients.  Mix together and pour into a bottle.  Enjoy your new, non-toxic wash!   (You may use a different bland of oils if you would like.  I included the oils for troubled skin.  If I didn't have troubled skin I would choose to use Frankincence instead of melaleuca and omit the peppermint.)
