DIY: Facial cleanser

February 19, 2009

How-to create a customized facial cleanser.


Muscovites protect their complexions with crushed berries while
Vietnamese women swear by tamarind paste. Cheap, natural, bespoke great
beauty products need not always come in chic glass bottles.

To make the perfect cleanser, mix equal parts sweet almond and olive oil
with five drops of lavender essential oil in a 250ml container. Warm a
small amount between your palms and massage gently into your forehead,
nose and cheeks. Take a flannel or muslin cloth dipped in warm water and
wipe your face in circular motions, gently exfoliating the skin while
you do so.

Try oils from either Maison
Orphee
or Aura
cacia
