Homemade facial cleanser.
Facial cleaners can be extremely expensive, and although a lot of them work very well, I have found one simple low cost product that has worked better for me than any of the cleansers I have ever purchased!
Of course, you can use it however you like, but I find this method to work best for me.
Yep you got it! It's oatmeal! Any sort of oatmeal will do. I like using this Odlums Quick and Easy porridge oats simply because its in a handy container and it has sooo much in it! It's so cheap, and many of you probably already have it in your kitchen somewhere!
How to use it:
- Soak your face completely with warm water,
- Take some oatmeal in your hand, (not too much, about half a handful)
- Wet the oatmeal slightly with warm water. Don't completely soak it!
- Massage gently over face. I find its best to rub in circular motions into your skin.
- Rinse skin thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a towel.
The oatmeal is very gentle on your face, so it would be suitable for those of you with sensitive skin. I myself have combination/oily skin, and I have found my skin (especially my t-zone) is less oily after using the oatmeal.
I use this every night after I have removed my makeup with Simple's face cleansing wipes, and afterwards I just moisturise using Clean&Clear Double Action Moisturiser :)
This method has been working really well for me for the last few weeks. My skin feels so much softer and looks a lot more glowy since starting to use the oatmeal!
I hope you find this helpful! Please let me know if it works for you too, or if you have any other cheap alternatives for face cleansers!
