Best Facial Cleanse

Years ago people only had good ould soap and water to cleanse their skin, nowadays we have an abundance of modern products from facial washes, cleansing bars, cream cleansers to toners and astringents. However there are cheaper and more gentle ways to cleanse the skin.

Bread Soda - All you have to do is wet face with warm water and massage a little bread soda all over face and neck avoiding the delicate eye area. Then rinse. For the first week you may not notice a difference but after regular use you will find your skin more balanced and bright. It may help to diminish sun/brown blemishes and spots.

Its great also added to the bath as it helps to soften the water and when used to brush your teeth.

Warm Milk - Another cleansing solution is to use warm milk especially if you suffer with dry skin. Warm a little full fat milk in a saucepan. Soak some cotton wool balls in the liquid and use to remove makeup or just to cleanse the skin. Avoid the hair line.

Olive Oil or Almond Oil -  Extra Virgin Olive Oil is my favourite, massage into face and remove with a warm flannel or muslin cloth for smooth silky skin.

Porridge Oats - If you have acne prone skin cleanse with porridge oats soaked in a little warm water. Leave for 1 minute before rinsing off, it makes blackheads disappear!

Honey - Warm some honey and then massage into face. Remove with warm face cloth. Great for dry skin as its rich in moisture.
