Wellness Wednesdays - Oil is the best facial cleanser!

What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put inside our bodies. As I learn more about health and wellness, the various chemicals in foods and beauty products it can be overwhelming and scary. 

Nevertheless, we've found a great skin care regime that works for us. They key to natural home made products is trial an error. We came across a recipe for face wash that requires only oil. Sounds weird right? 

Well we tried it, have been using it for months and love it. 

Simple ingredients. Olive oil and castor oil. Our recipe is 90% olive oil and 10% castor oil. Mix the oils in a bottle, then apply a small amount to your face and neck. Massage it in. Think of something peaceful and make the massage meditative. Shower or bathe as usual, then taking a white towel fold it and apply hot water. Ring the towel open it and simply lay it on your face. The heat draws the oil out. Once the towel cools, wipe your face. Re fold on the other side and repeat. 

You may apply moisturizer to your face after however it's not necessary. 

Here are our results and products.
