Foaming face wash for acne-prone skin

Store-bought acne cleansers can be abrasive and irritating ⏤ use this foaming face wash for acne-prone skin instead, which is all-natural and gentle, yet effective.

About the ingredients/supplies

Liquid Castile soap

Foaming soap dispenser

• Is the key to a proper foaming face wash, your mixture won’t foam without this!
• You can re-use a foaming dispenser you already have, or purchase a new one

• I love foaming face wash not only because it uses a fraction of the amount of face wash as a typical dispenser does, but also creates foamy clouds!

How to make

1. Unscrew the cap of your foaming soap dispenser and get ready to add:
2. 1/4 cup of Liquid Castile soap
3. Now add 1 tbsp of Witch hazel and 2 tsp of Fractionated coconut oil
4. Add 5 drops each of Lavender and Melaleuca (Tea tree) essential oils
5. Top it all off with 1/2 cup of distilled water and screw the cap back on
6. Give it a good shake to combine
7. Enjoy!

Worth noting

• The Fractionated coconut oil and water will separate, so be sure to give it a good shake before each use
• I use this DIY Foaming face wash for acne-prone skin twice a day to wash my face; once in the morning, and once at night and follow it up with my DIY Facial oil
