Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Honey- Incredible for your skin thanks to its antibacterial properties and hefty serving of skin-saving antioxidants.
- 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil- Olive oil contains antioxidants that fight free-radical damage and an ingredient called squalene, which is extremely hydrating.
- 1/4 cup Aloe vera gel- Gives hydrating, anti-inflammatory benefits and leaves a protective barrier on the skin.
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients. That's it!
This cleanser can be stored in a sealed jar (I use a Mason jar) or a soap dispenser. Either method
works, it's completely up to you. If you're using a jar, I recommend using a spoon to scoop the cleanser into your hand to
avoid introducing bacteria to the cleanser.
Store the cleanser at room temperature for a couple of months. If you're using fresh aloe, store the cleanser in the fridge
since the aloe may spoil quickly.
I use a nourishing oil in this recipe, but you can still make a great cleanser without
it. Use daily.
