Experiment with homemade cleanser

[Guest guest]

I am glad you like the Kinetin foundation. Yesterday I put some Hawaiian

Tropic Baby Faces sunblock with SPF 50 on first, just for some extra

protection.

For cleansing, I am using Roc Cleanser + Toner In One, it's non-irritating

and you can just wipe it off with a tissue. However, it is considerably

more expensive than the Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin. I don't

think I could be bothered to do all that mixing with yogurt, cucumber, etc.,

but good luck to those who do it.

I recently started using a new foundation, Almay's Skin Smoothing

with Kinetin spf 15, as an alternative to applying sunscreen (I still

can't find one I can use) and yet more makeup on top of that. The

foundation is great (thanks to Ruiz who suggested it) but Dove

soap, which I was using previously, seemed to be too drying while I

was using it. As I've tried as many cleansers as I have sunscreens,

with generally poor results, I thought I'd try something different.

So I looked up a lot of homemade cleanser recipes on the Web and

started experimenting. Many of them seem to contain ingredients like

oatmeal, yoghurt, honey, cucumber, etc.

I thought I'd try whipping up some kind of facial wash/scrub in my

blender, rather like a smoothie for my face. I've been slapping some

of the resultant gloop on my face, massaging it over, then rinsing

off with tepid water. Sometimes I also need to wipe a little residue

away. I've tried a few combinations but the best so far seems to be

oatmeal, sunflower oil and water (in roughly equal amounts). I blend

it in small amounts and keep it in a jar in the fridge for a couple

of days. If you have long hair, use an alice band or something else

to keep it out of your face, because this stuff makes a mess. Right

now I'm trying out oatmeal, sunflower oil and cucumber, but I think

the former combination might have worked better. I'm not sure about

the oatmeal/yoghurt combination, I only tried it once.

I am not convinced that these concoctions remove my makeup as

thoroughly as commercial cleansers, but on the other hand, my skin

seems to be softer, less irritable and is completely acne-free at the

moment, which is better than I was managing beforehand. So I'm going

to continue to experiment.

Has anyone else tried using homemade cleansers from kitchen

ingredients?

Hello.

What does everyone think of a group outing, vacation, or ? I think it

might be fun and you'd be around everyone that can relate to what you're

talking about. Somewhere not humid would be the right idea. Maybe a

weekend in Vegas would be fun.
