Homemade Foaming Face Wash

A few days ago, I posted my simple homemade shampoo recipe using castile soap. Here is yet another simple recipe using castile soap. The best part of making this foaming face wash yourself, is being able to customize the ingredients however you'd like. You can add more of one thing or less of another. Feel free to change out the essential oils for whatever you want for your face type or condition. Also check out my foaming hand soap recipe from last year's post.

DIY Homemade Face Moisturizer

Making your own beauty products can be simple and cheap! I love using emu oil as the base of my face moisturizer because it has so many great benefits for your skin. You can choose any carrier oil that works best for your face.

You will need:

• Emu Oil {Amazon link}
• Frankincense and cedarwood Young Living essential oil {or oil(s) of choice}

Instructions

Every morning and night, I put about a dime size amount of my emu oil into the palm of my hand. I add 1 drop each of frankincense and cedarwood and then spread all over my face and neck. I also like to use the essential beauty serum sometimes instead of frankincense and cedarwood. There are many great essential oils for your skin that you can use as well.
