No Soap Facial Cleanser



There are many products on the market that claim that they are safe to use on the face but many of them are not. Some contain alcohol, menthol, camphor or hydroxyl acid. The stinging sensation you feel when you put them on your skin tricks you into feeling as though they are working but what they are doing is damaging your skin. All of these substances dry out the skin. If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a mild cleanser try this homemade recipe. Your face will thank you for it!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1 1/2 cup powdered whole milk
1/2 cup raw sugar

Place all ingredients into a small covered container and mix well. When ready to use, just place about 2 tbsp in your hand and add a small amount of water to prepare a paste. Dab on your face and allow it to remain for about 8-10 min before washing it off with warm water and then a cold rinse.
