Face soap is something I am very particular about because after all, I do not want to use a product that would be so harsh that it does more harm than good. Sometimes it takes me two or three different trips to the store to ensure that I chose the right soap. I have always used store bought face soap and still have some. But I wanted to try making honey face wash since it is a very natural face product and contains some nourishing ingredients.
The recipe is simple with only four ingredients, Natural Honey Dr. Bronner’s all natural castile soap, coconut oil and lavender essential oil plus water.
Here is a little information of how each ingredient works in this recipe.
- Dr. Bronner’s castile soap is an All-natural soap that’s made with various scents: lavender, tea-tree, peppermint, citrus orange, eucalyptus, unscented (baby mild), etc. It is made of 18- in-one hemp and can be used to clean the home and the body. Currently, I have the baby mild and lavender but you can choose your favorite scents. You can follow this link to see the various kinds of Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Castile Soap available.
- Natural Honey is a very soothing ingredient. Try using raw honey if you can. Trust me, it is the real deal!
- Coconut oil soothes, heals, & moisturizes, the skin. See my post here on some of the many uses of coconut oil.
- Lavender essential oil is used to sooth skin ailments such as burns and rashes.
- Peppermint essential oil refreshes the skin.
- 1/2 cup Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap (Lavender or Baby Mild)
- 1/3 cup all-natural honey
- 1/3 cup distilled water plus up to 2 cups more
- Essential oils (I used lavender and peppermint) But you can choose just one
- Soap dispenser (12 oz to 16 oz)
- Pour 1/3 cup distilled water into soap dispenser
- Add in the honey and soap.
- Mix well.
- Pour in a few drops of essential oil (about 10).
- Add more distilled water to fill the soap dispenser leaving about 1/2 inch space to the top.
- Use as you would any other face wash. Shake well between uses.
I have been using this face wash for a few days now and it really is a mild soap that leaves my face feeling so clean. Then I would moisturize with a small bit of the homemade body lotion I made for the kids. It is gentle enough to use on the face.
Do you use any kind of face wash that is made with honey, store bought or homemade? I would love to know in the comments!
