The Best DIY Face Wipes

kmp0358-2.jpg

This DIY is one of my favorites.  I have shared it with many moms of teenagers who going through hormonal changes that are leaving their faces with unwanted blemishes.  It has also been great for me: the tired mom who wants to crawl into bed, but not have to do the whole "face routine" of cleansing and moisturizing.  Or it can be for the husband who decides to shave his ginormous beard off, but has sensitive skin. *wink wink, babe!*

These face wipes are dual-purpose and pack a punch.  They take off make up, cleanse your face, as well as use products that are cooling and relieving to irritated skin.

Supplies needed:

  1. Container to store in (I use a mason jar to store mine but any air tight container would work)

  2. Organic cotton rounds 

  3. Witch Hazel (I like the unscented) 

  4. Rosewater 

  5. Essential Oils : Melaleuca, Lavender, and Frankincense

  6. Fractionated Coconut Oil (Optional)

Directions:

First figure out how many pads you are going to use, then: 

  1. Put 1/4 of the cotton pads into the container 

  2. Add 1 Tablespoon Witch Hazel + 1 Tablespoon Rosewater

  3. Next put another 1/4 pads in (container is about 1/2 filled with cotton pads at this point)

  4. Add 2 Tablespoon Witch Hazel + 1 T Rosewater 

  5. Add 3-5 drops EACH of Melaleuca, Lavender, and Frankincense 

  6. Optional: Add 1 T Fractionated Coconut Oil

  7. REPEAT steps 1 - 4 to top off the container.

**For the first 24 hours you will want to store your container upside down so that the top pads that you are going to use first are completely moist with all the ingredients**

Let me know once you whip this easy DIY. I want to know what you think of it! Better yet what your skins thoughts are!!!
