Easy DIY Face Scrubs and Face Washes.

We all want to look our best. So we spend tons of money on face washes and exfoliating scrubs that are supposed to make our skin beautiful. But in reality, all we’re doing is wasting money. Many commercial face washes contain chemicals that actually make skin problems worse, instead of better! And even if a product does work for you, it could be leaching all sorts of nasty additives into your skin, potentially causing more problems down the road. Be safe, save money, and instead make one of these 14 Homemade Face Wash and Face Scrub Recipes!

14 Homemade Face Wash and Face Scrub Recipes

Here are some things to remember before starting your DIY face wash or DIY face scrub recipe:

Storage. These homemade face scrubs and washes need to be stored in an air-tight container. This will help keep them from growing mold quickly.
Use within a month. Your homemade scrubs and washes need to be used within a month to ensure the freshness of the raw and natural ingredients you are using.
Use distilled water. If your recipe calls for water, don’t use tap water. It can contain bacteria that will grow and taint your face wash or scrub. Distilled water is best, but boiled water will also work.
