2 Ingredient DIY Facial Scrub Cleanser

June 18, 2012 By Jelli 22 Comments

TWO ingredients. Yes, that’s right. 2 Ingredient Facial Scrub Cleanser is what I use to “indulge” my skin after a long day of housekeeping, diaper changing, meal making, and yoga video-ing with Jillian. (Gotta love Jillian, right?)

Nothing makes my skin feel quite as delicately smooth as using a scrubby facial cleanser. Nothing makes my wallet happier than a DIY 2-ingredient facial scrub cleanser. Make it for yourself and see what I mean. You’ll notice the enhanced silkiness, he’ll wonder what gave you that maidenlike glow. Go for it! What’re you waiting for?

Diy 2 ingredient facial scrub cleanser

 

What You’ll Need:

  • Liquid Facial Cleanser, the gentler the better
  • Baking Soda
  • Small container or pump bottle (think hand soap bottle)

Instructions:

Measure out facial cleanser and add one teaspoon of baking soda per half cup of cleanser. Stir together and store in an airtight container or better yet, a pump bottle. Be sure to shake or stir mixture before each use to ensure the scrubbing soda granules haven’t settled in the bottom.

Use the facial scrub cleanser in your typical washing routine for a deep-clean a few times per week and enjoy your baby-soft mug.

What is your favorite way to deep clean your skin?

    I make this same stuff, using Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap! I’ve never made a batch to store, though–I just mix in my palm what I’m going to use right away. I love the smooth feeling it gives. In between these deep cleanings, I wash my face with honey.

    I love using baking soda as a facial scrub. I like to combine mine with honey and coconut oil, it’s super moisturizing. I’ll have to try this with my regular cleanser and see how I like it. Stopping by from I Should be Mopping.

      I use plain old baking soda sometimes too, but I’d love to try it with honey and coconut oil, both items I do use for skincare all the time. Thanks so much for stopping by, Angela.
