| Bottles from Daiso |
- 1 tbs Olive Oil
- 1 tbs Favorite Facial Soap
- 1/4 cup Warm Water
Measure out 1/4 a cup of warm water in a mixing glass. Add a tablespoon of your favorite facial soap, and mix thoroughly. Add the olive oil and again mix thoroughly.
Pour in to the container of your choice, I prefer a small bottle with a pump. Daiso sells a great one which works well and is very cute. I also use one for my facial toner (pictured right).
Just squirt a few pumps on to a clean paper towel or cotton puff and wipe away your makeup! All natural, non-toxic, and very low cost.
Oatmeal Face Mask
- 1/4 cup Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tbs Rose Water
There are two ways to make this face mask: on the stove top or in the microwave.
To make in the microwave, mix the rosewater and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and cook for about 2 minutes. Allow to cool, and coat face evenly. Let sit for about 15 minutes before washing off.
To make on the stove top, mix the rosewater and milk and bring to a light boil in a small pot. Add the oats and cook until soft on a low temperature, to avoid burning the milk. Allow to cool, and coat face evenly. Let sit for about 15 minutes before washing off.

While a little messy, it leaves your skin feeling wonderfully fresh. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

Rose Water Facial Toner
For this toner you can make your own rose water or rose oil, or buy it from a store. The one I use (pictured left) was a gift from a friend. I use it straight and it works wonderfully. I put about a tablespoon in my hand and lightly coat my face and neck before applying lotion.
If you're interested in making your own rose water or rose oil, there's a wonderful tutorial here. Otherwise you should be able to find some at your local health food store.
