Coconut oil works well as a make-up remover and moisturiser on it own. Adding cocoa butter and essential oils both nourishes the skin and and gives your skin tone a boost.
This cleanser is good for most skin types, but particularly dry skin.
To make this you will need:
- 50g coconut oil
- 50g cocoa butter (deodorised cocoa butter is fine, but undeodorised gives the balm a nice chocolately smell)
- 1 capsule vitamin E oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
- 10 drops neroli essential oil
Gently melt the cocoa butter and coconut oil in a double boiler. Remove from the heat. Pierce the vitamin E capsule and squeeze the contents to the butter/oil mix. Stir in the essential oils. Transfer to a small, lidded pot or jar and allow to cool.
To use: Gently massage a small amount into your face. Rinse with warm water.
Will keep for up to three months. In very warm weather the cleanser can get a bit soft, so you may need to keep it in the fridge.

I tend to have dry skin and never remove my makeup, being able to tackle both issues at once that would be awesome.

ReplyDeleteI think that I'm going to have to try making this because I currently use a facial cleansing oil and am a total convert. It would be nice to be able to create my own. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe on #UpsyDaisyLinkup!
