1. Cream and Apple Face Wash
This homemade face wash is excellent for dry skin. To make it, you simply need to boil an apple and mash it with a fork. Then, add 1 teaspoon of cream, one of lemon or orange juice, and finally, one of olive oil. All these ingredients should then be mixed until they look like a smooth paste. Apply it to your face, neck, and forehead and leave it on for about 5 minutes. Finally, rinse it off with lukewarm water. Your skin will become hydrated and very clean at the same time.
2. Milk and Honey Face Wash
This combination is especially amazing for people who struggle with oily skin or acne. The secret is to mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of raw milk. The result will be a smooth lotion that you need to apply on your face evenly. After applying it, you will need to gently massage your skin for about 3 minutes. Finally, rinse the lotion off with lukewarm water. The secret is that this solution removes the oil from your face and brightens your skin. It also works great for people with sensitive skin because it’s so gentle and effective.
3. Tomato Face Wash
For combination skin, there is another homemade face wash that you can try and make. Extract the pulp of a tomato, about 2 teaspoons, and mix it with 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange juice. Then, you will need to apply this homemade cleanser on your face and leave it on for about 10 minutes. Finally, rinse it off with cool water. It works great, and the best thing is that you can also store it for future use and it will still work amazingly well.
