Facial Cleansers - Homemade Ones You Can Use

There was once a time when facial cleansers and facial soaps did not exist. Of course, this does not include your regular bar of soap. Bars of soap have been around for quite some time. However, facial cleansers that promoted your skin's health are something that is relatively new to the market. There were plenty of women and men who had great complexions before facial cleansers were ever even thought of. This raises the question of just how those people maintained their healthy complexion without the use of the products that are on the market now. These people were using all natural facial cleansers that they made themselves from items or foods around their home. In the following article, we will review some ways that you can do the same thing and have healthy skin for half of the price.

A food that is good for both the inside and outside of your body is yogurt. Not only will it promote general heath on the inside of your body, but it is great to use on your skin. Yogurt makes a great facial cleanser. You simply have to apply the yogurt to your skin as you would a lotion and massage it gently into your skin with your fingers. In fact, you do not even have to use all of your fingers for this job. You will want to avoid getting the yogurt close to your eyes so you can prevent irritation. If you would like, you can let the yogurt set on your skin for a minute or so and then wash it off with some warm water. Once you have it rinsed off of your skin, you can dry up by gently patting your face with a soft towel. Some people even add oatmeal to their yogurt. This gives the yogurt exfoliation properties and this combination actually works quite well to exfoliate your skin. You can add oatmeal to your yogurt whether it is ground up or not, it will still act in the same way.

Vegetable oil is another natural ingredient that has been used for a very long time as a facial cleansing product. Vegetable oil is best used by those who have skin that is dry and matured due to aging. When you use vegetable oil on the skin around your face or neck, it will act as a kind of cold cream. Mixing the vegetable oil with distilled water and honey will also produce a facial cleanser type of product. You can apply this mixture to your face and leave it there for a few minutes like you would a mask. Just make sure that you remember to wipe it off before you go doing anything important or falling asleep.

Some women have been known to use the water from their steamed vegetable as their facial cleanser. This is practical because the water from the steamed vegetable contains the nutrients from those vegetables. Some women go so far as to save this water by freezing it for later use. Fruit pulp is another great, natural facial cleanser. Avocado, banana, squash and other fruits are good to use. Many women actually make a medley of smashed fruit pulp to use as their facial cleanser. If you would like to do this, just take the pulp of the fruits you would like in your cleanser and mash them all together.
