Cleanse

It is so important to clean our skin and we should try to do this twice a day. It is especially important to clean your skin after a long day wearing makeup, being exposed to outdoor toxins, and some sweating. A gentle cleanser made for your skin type will go a long way in helping your skin look its best.

For my face I use Honu Naturals Naked Shea Soap, its unscented and superfatted with shea butter. It has a rich soothing later and it is not at all drying to your skin like many commercial cleansers. The rest of my skin gets treated with a variety of my handcrafted soaps.

There are also a variety of soap free cleansers available to purchase, but be sure to read the ingredients list to avoid overly drying chemicals. Soap free cleansers or cream cleansers are great for drier or sensitive skin types. These will give you a deep clean without stripping your skin of valuable moisture. You can also make your own cleanser at home with ingredients from your cupboard. Check out my recipe section or visit www.makeyourowncosmetics.com for some great ideas. The most important thing is to find a cleanser that is right for your skin type and you will enjoy more vibrant skin.
