1. Coconut Oil & Honey Sensitive Skin Face Wash
Stacey from beautyandthefoodie concocted this amazing sensitive skin cleanser with ingredients you probably already have sitting in your kitchen. You'll need raw honey, extra virgin coconut oil, baking soda, and a small jar to make it. Get the full recipe here.
2. Honey & Lemon Oily Skin Face Wash
For a simple face wash to balance oily skin, try mixing raw honey with fresh lemon juice, as instructed by this recipe from Keeper Of The Home. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a small bowl with about 1 tablespoon of honey in it. Add a little warm water so it becomes easier to spread, coat your face, and rinse with warm water. Voila!
3. Oatmeal-Infused Combo Skin Face Wash
For combo skin, this is an easy oatmeal face wash from heyitseileen can't be beat!
4. Olive & Essential Oil Dry Skin Face Wash
For dry skin, mix extra virgin olive oil with your favorite essential oils (I recommend vanilla and lavender!), slather over your face, and rinse with warm water. It's so easy, it hurts (but it doesn't, don't worry).
5. Apple Cider Vinegar Break Out-Prone Skin Face Wash
Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, $12, Amazon
If you're struggling with a major break out, mixing together 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with warm water and a drop of castile soap will work wonders. Go easy on this, though, as apple cider vinegar is intensely cleansing and can dry out your skin if used too frequently.
