How to Make a Homemade Face Wash With Raw Honey
With just three simple ingredients, this DIY honey face wash recipe comes together quickly, and is a cost-effective addition to any natural skincare routine.
Equipment
- small mixing bowl
- 8 oz. glass pump bottle
Materials
- 1/2 cup Raw Organic Honey (sometimes labeled as natural or unfiltered honey)
- 1/4 cup Organic Aloe Vera Gel (alcohol free)
- 2 TBSP Witch Hazel (alcohol free)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl
- Using a fork or a small whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly. Ensure that the honey is well incorporated with the Aloe Vera Gel and Witch Hazel to form a smooth and consistent mixture.
- Using a small funnel, carefully pour face wash into your glass bottle and secure your pump top.
- Store the homemade face wash in a cool, dry place.
- To Use: Pump a small amount of the homemade face wash onto your hands, and gently massage it onto your face in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water and pat your face dry
Notes
- Check out our moisturizing tallow balm to apply to freshly cleansed skin.
- As with any new skincare ingredient, it's important to perform a patch test before extensive use.
- Easily turn it into a facial scrub! Once a week add a small amount of raw organic cane sugar to one pump of your raw honey facial cleanser, and gently massage it onto your face to help remove dead skin cells. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
- Option to add lavender essential oil, tea tree oil, or lemon essential oil to your homemade honey face wash recipe.
- I like to refer to this essential oil dilution chart as a guide, and personally stick to 0.5-1% dilution for topical application. It’s better to start lower and you can always add more if necessary.
