DIY All-Natural Facial Cleansing Wipes

Creating your own all-natural facial cleansing wipes is an easy and rewarding way to take care of your skin while knowing exactly what ingredients are touching your face. These DIY wipes are made with skin-friendly ingredients that cleanse, nourish, and hydrate. Plus, they’re super convenient for on-the-go use or just a quick, refreshing cleanse. Here’s how to make them:

What You’ll Need

- 8 oz glass jar with lid (for storage)

- 1 tablespoon jojoba oil (a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer)

- 2 tablespoons witch hazel (a natural toner that can reduce inflammation)

- 2 tablespoons unscented Castile soap (a gentle, effective cleanser)

- 2 oz filtered water (to keep it pure and clean)

- 10 drops lavender essential oil (soothes skin and adds a calming scent)

- 10 drops lemongrass essential oil (has antimicrobial properties)

- 5 drops tea tree essential oil (fights bacteria and prevents breakouts)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the jojoba oil, witch hazel, Castile soap, and filtered water. Stir gently until well-mixed. These ingredients work together to cleanse, balance, and hydrate your skin, while being gentle enough for most skin types. 

2. Add Essential Oils: Add the lavender, lemongrass, and tea tree essential oils. Essential oils not only provide aromatherapy benefits but also offer skin-boosting properties. Lavender soothes, lemongrass purifies, and tea tree fights bacteria.

3. Prep the Jar: Pour the mixture into the glass jar. If you prefer, add small cotton rounds to the jar and let them absorb the solution for convenient, pre-soaked wipes.

4. Let it Soak: If using cotton rounds, allow them to fully soak up the liquid. This can take about 10-15 minutes. Once absorbed, they’ll be ready to use whenever you need them. 

5. Storage and Use: Keep the jar sealed with a lid and store it in a cool, dry place. To use, simply take a wipe from the jar and gently cleanse your face, focusing on areas where dirt and oil tend to accumulate. Avoid using around the eyes, as essential oils can irritate them.
