11 EASY HOMEMADE FACE CLEANSERS (DIY)

Pollution, sun exposure, and the drying effects of air conditioning, as well as the little pieces of dirt that kick up as you walk, all contribute to the skin on your face taking a battering on a daily basis. A comprehensive skin-care program eliminates chemicals, oils, filth, and grime that have accumulated in pores, restores shine to tired-looking skin, protects youthfulness, and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. The 11 easy homemade face cleansers (DIY) that are listed below will help the skin. You may use the recipes daily, weekly, monthly, or annually as required to maintain your face healthy and shining.

1. STRAWBERRY, HONEY & OAT CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES (NOT INCLUDING TIME TO COOK THE

OATS)

GOOD FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES

Even the most sensitive skin types will benefit from this mild cleanser and exfoliation. The shredded coconut and strawberry seeds exfoliate dead skin cells, while the coconut milk and honey hydrate for hours. When travelling, this dish is simple to create because most of the ingredients can be obtained at a breakfast buffet; however, you will need to use a utensil instead of your mini food processor.

What You Need

1 tbsp. shredded coconut

2 strawberries

1/4 cup precooked oats

1 tablespoon of coconut milk (or green tea)

1 tablespoon honey (or molasses)

Preparation

1. Combine the shredded coconut and strawberries in a mini food processor. Pulse a couple of times.

2. Add the remaining ingredients to the mini chop and pulse until smooth.

3. Place in a compact, airtight container.

On USE: Apply a dime-sized amount of cleanser to your face. Rinse well.
STORAGE: Keep in the fridge for 10 days to 2 weeks. You may also double the recipe and freeze it for later use. Fill each space in an ice cube tray with a dollop of the product and defrost one cube in the refrigerator or on the countertop as needed.

USE ON A DAILY BASIS, MORNING AND NIGHT

HAVE A LOOK

You’ll find that the textures and consistency of the different cleansers vary. Others may be runnier, some firmer, and some will be what I term a “cleaning paste.” I enjoy using cleaning pastes. They are simple to use, compact, and effective. Remember that while washing your face, you should always use warm water. For optimum skin health, I cannot emphasize enough the significance of cleaning with warm, not hot, water. It is much more necessary to wet your skin when using a paste, and you will add a few drops of water to the paste to loosen it so it distributes freely in your palms before applying it to your face.

2. ALMOND CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES NOT INCLUDING TIME TO MAKE THE

TEA

GOOD FOR: DRY SKIN, DULL SKIN

This cleanser contains almonds, which are high in vitamin E and vital fatty acids, which help to restore moisture. Ground almonds not only provide all of the nut’s medicinal elements but also work as a moderate exfoliate.

Ingredients

1/8 cup liquorice tea, prepared and cooled

1/4 cup finely ground almonds

1 tbsp goat milk or soymilk

1/2 tablespoon molasses

Procedure

In a mini chop or blender, combine all ingredients and blend well. You can grind whole almonds first, then add the rest of the ingredients and blend again.
Transfer to a small airtight container.

TO USE: Apply a dime-size drop of cleanser to your face. Completely rinse.
STORAGE: Refrigerate for 10 days to 2 weeks. You may also produce a larger quantity and freeze it for later use. Fill an ice cube tray with a dollop of the product in each place and thaw one cube in the refrigerator or on the countertop as needed.
APPLY ON A DAILY BASIS, MORNING AND NIGHT
ALLERGY ADJUSTMENT: If you have a nut allergy, substitute hemp flour for ground almonds.

3. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES

Every skin type should use activated charcoal. It gets deep into your pores and pulls out all the old oils and dirt, leaving your skin clean and ready to breathe again. Congested pores aggravate all skin issues and hasten skin ageing.

This is a good cleanser for deep pore cleansing and detoxing.

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon activated charcoal

3/4 teaspoon jojoba oil

1 tablespoon French green clay

2 tbsp finely ground sunflower seeds

Procedure

1. In a mini chop or blender, combine all ingredients and blend well.

2. Transfer to a small airtight container.

TO USE: Apply a dime-size dollop of cleanser to your face. The cleanser will be powdery, or what I call a “cleansing paste,” and you will need to activate it with water before using it. For dry masks, a teaspoon of water is all that is needed to achieve the desired consistency. Completely rinse.
STORAGE: Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 4-8 months.
APPLY: Twice daily

DID YOU KNOW?
Activated charcoal is not the same as the charcoal we use for grilling. It is produced solely for medicinal purposes. It is used by doctors to treat a wide range of conditions, including poisoning.
Estheticians adore it for its ability to attract toxins from the skin, possibly in the same way that it aids in the removal of poisons from the body.

4. QUINOA CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 10 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: AGING SKIN, DULL/LACKLUSTER SKIN

Quinoa provides your skin with essential amino acids, which aid to build connective tissue and retain skin suppleness. Goat milk softens fine lines and wrinkles while also providing the skin with a powerful boost of essential fatty acids. Pumpkin seeds, which slough off dead skin cells, are also high in skin-loving essential fatty acids.

Ingredients

2 tbsp + 2 tsp quinoa flour

2 tbsp powdered goat milk

2 teaspoons finely ground pumpkin seeds

2 tsp sea salt

Procedure

1. In a mini chop or blender, combine all ingredients and blend well.

2. Transfer to a small airtight container.

TO USE: Apply a dime-size dollop of cleanser to your face. Completely rinse.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
APPLY: Twice daily

TRY INSTEAD

If you are a vegan, you can substitute soymilk for goat milk. When the active ingredient in a recipe calls for an animal product, there is no suitable substitute. In other cases, a simple switch can be used. Experiment to see what works best for you.

5. BANANA CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: ANTI-AGING, SKIN SOFTENING

Bananas’ potassium content hydrates and moisturizes dry skin. Vitamins A, B, C, and E, which are also found in bananas, protect against ageing, promote collagen production, balance oil, and fight skin-damaging oxidation.

Ingredients

2 tbsp banana flour

1 tablespoon + 11/2 teaspoons powdered goat milk or soymilk

2 tbsp lucuma powder

1/4 banana, mashed (optional, for increased moisturizing)

Procedure

1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine. If you use a banana, blend it in a mini chop or blender.

2. Transfer to a small airtight container.

TO USE: Apply a dime-size quantity of cleanser to your face. Completely rinse.
STORAGE: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks without the banana and 10 days with the banana.
APPLY ON A DAILY BASIS, MORNING AND NIGHT

Lucuma powder is derived from a South American fruit. It has the consistency of hard-boiled egg yolk and a distinctly sweet flavour. Lucuma powder, which is high in nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B3, is an excellent addition to beauty products. If you have extra lucuma powder, you can use it as a tasty substitute for sugar or artificial sweeteners.

6. COCONUT CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 20 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: DEHYDRATED SKIN

When a product contains all of the active ingredients for your skin, the combination can be a potent match. Shredded coconut exfoliates, and the flour, combined with the essential fatty acids (EFAs) and antioxidants in the milk and meat (in the butter), makes a fantastic cleanser for coconut lovers. The EFAs aid in the removal of dirt and grime from your skin, while the flour and shredded coconut remove dead skin cells.

Ingredients

4 teaspoons shredded unsweetened coconut

1 tsp coconut butter

4 tsp coconut milk

4 tsp coconut flour

Procedure

1. In a mini food processor, pulse the shredded coconut until the shreds are the size of small granules.

2. Melt the coconut butter in a small pot on the stovetop over low heat.

3. Add the melted butter and the remaining ingredients to the food processor. To mix, pulse once or twice.

4. Transfer to a small airtight container.

TO USE: Wash your face with a dime-sized amount of cleanser. Completely rinse.
STORAGE: Refrigerate for 10 days to 2 weeks.
APPLY: Twice daily

7. DETOX CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: ELIMINATING CHEMICAL BUILDUP, CLEANING PORES

Detoxing your skin is essential regardless of your skin type. Maintaining your pores’ cleanliness and restoring your pH level is critical to accomplishing your skin’s objectives.

Apple cider vinegar balances the skin’s pH and assists in the elimination of dead skin cells, debris, and oils. Malic acid is abundant in apples. Malic acid is an alpha hydroxyl that brightens the skin, promotes collagen formation, and exfoliates dead skin. Germs are combated by lavender and rosemary hydrosols.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. apple juice

4 tablespoons lavender or rosemary hydrosol

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

1 tbsp. soymilk

four tbsp quinoa flour

Procedure

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl or mini food processor and pulse or mix for about 10 seconds, or until blended.

On USE: Apply a dime-sized dollop of cleanser to your face. Rinse well.
STORAGE: Keep in the fridge for 10 days to 2 weeks.
USE ON A DAILY BASIS, MORNING AND NIGHT

If you don’t have lavender or rosemary hydrosol, you can use distilled water instead.

8. HONEY & CHIA SEED CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES NOT INCLUDING TIME TO MAKE THE

TEA

GOOD FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES

This cleanser does it all! Chia seeds, which are high in important fatty acids and amino acids, are also a good exfoliant. Lemon juice contains skin-loving bioflavonoids; honey calms, softens, repairs, and hydrates; and rooibos tea helps balance your skin’s pH level.

Ingredients

11/2 tablespoons prepared and cooled rooibos tea

1 teaspoon chia seeds

3/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Procedure

1. Combine the tea and chia seeds in a small bowl. Allow standing for 5 minutes.

On USE: Apply a dime-sized dollop of cleanser to your face. Rinse well.
STORAGE: Keep in the fridge for 10 days to 2 weeks.

10. COCOA CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES

GOOD FOR: ANTI-AGING

Cocoa powder, which is high in antioxidants, has amazing anti-ageing properties.

3 tbsp powdered goat milk

2 tbsp of lucuma powder

2 tbsp walnuts, coarsely ground

ADJUSTMENT FOR ALLERGIES

11. HEMP CLEANSER

YIELD: ABOUT 4 OUNCES TIME: 15 MINUTES
