Skin Cleansers

Most commercial soaps that you will find in a supermarket are quite harsh and will easily dry-out your skin.

Using Argan Oil is great for restoring hydration levels and repairing the drying soap effects. However, there are many, better ways to cleanse your skin.
Better still you can make these gentle facial cleansers for your skin at home.

They clean delicate facial skin by removing dead skin cells, excess oil and dissolving dirt and impurities.
This type of cleansing is great for skin renewal and is great to do to maximise the effects of using a pure anti-aging Argan Oil.

You don’t have to do this every day but once or twice a week is a good start.

 

Anti Ageing Milk and Honey Skin Cleanser

Milk and honey is an ancient anti-wrinkle cleanser that dates back to the Pharaohs.

There is now some scientific support for this treatment. The milk is rich in lactic acid which cleanses pores and helps get rid of debris from the skin. It also stimulates the production of collagen. Oily, blemish prone skin can benefit from the exfoliating power of alphahydroxy acids (AHA’s) which peel away layers of dead skin cells.

Milk also contains AHA’s so we can use this as part of our cleanser. Honey is rich in humectants which help keep skin hydrated and increase its elasticity.

Massage this into your skin and leave it on for ten minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of whole milk
1 teaspoon of honey for milk

How to:
Combine about a teaspoon of honey (preferably dark honey) with a tablespoon of whole milk. Put the mix in a small bottle and dip it in hot water until the mixture gets warm and the honey can thoroughly mix with the milk by shaking it. Make sure it’s comfortably warm but not scalding. Shake well and apply. Leave on for around ten minutes, then rinse with warm water.
