Contact with dirt or using facial cleansers containing chemicals can make the skin dull and dry. This aloe vera facial cleanser is made from natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin, helping to remove excess oil and maintain moisture for the skin. This is a super simple and effective homemade aloe vera facial cleanser recipe that you can refer to.
Benefits of the ingredients
Aloe vera
Vitamins A, C, E, and B12 are found in abundance in aloe vera. Aloe vera stimulates collagen release and encourages collagen production.
Its antioxidant properties can help heal damage from UV rays and slow down the aging process of the skin.
It reduces rashes and acne while treating scars.
It protects the skin from the damage of sunlight and functions as a natural sunscreen.
Tea tree oil
The richness of antioxidants helps smoothen and reduce dryness of the skin. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, tea tree oil is particularly effective in fighting acne. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling, and redness-reducing effects. Additionally, it also reduces and fades scars.
Castile soap
This is a natural foaming product, unlike most other soaps that rely on harmful sulfates to achieve similar foaming. Thanks to oleuropein, a powerful antibacterial substance, it can cleanse the skin. Castile soap contains oil that cleanses the skin without drying it out by penetrating the pores with its antibacterial properties.
You will need the following:
1 cup liquid castile soap
1/3 cup clear commercial aloe vera gel
A few drops of tea tree oil
Add 1/3 cup of clear commercial aloe vera gel and a few drops of tea tree oil. Mix the ingredients well and ensure that the mixture is not lumpy. You should store it in a small bottle. Now, you can use this aloe vera facial cleanser like any regular facial cleansers.
However, be sure to check for any reactions on the skin beforehand to ensure that none of these ingredients cause any allergic reactions.
Don’t expect immediate results because skincare requires patience.
