Homemade Honey Lavender Face Wash- This DIY face wash uses honey and other natural ingredients to gently cleanse and moisturize your skin. Give it a try!

popular pin for homemade face wash recipe

Sometimes I have found that even the pricier store bought face washes can dry out my skin, make it itchy, or not clean very well. My solution, of course, is to try and make my own with my go-to essential oils and a few other natural ingredients. This also helps me cut out ingredients that are not good for my skin and save a ton of money too. After much research, I learned a few years ago that honey is very moisturizing and healing for your skin, so of course, that had to go into the mix along with essential oils and a gentle cleanser. This Homemade Honey Lavender Face Wash is extremely gentle on your skin, moisturizing, and cleansing. Give it a try and you will start feeling a difference right away.

Homemade Honey Lavender Face Wash Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 ounces distilled water
  • 1 teaspoon mild Castile soap
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil
  • 2 teaspoons raw unfiltered honey

Directions:

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a small bottle that has a pump or squirt top. Replace the lid and shake gently to combine. You will want to shake each time before use as well.
  2. Pour some into a small travel-sized bottle and you can easily take your new favorite face wash with you wherever you go.Homemade Honey Lavender Face Wash Mixpopular pin for homemade face wash recipe
  3. You can simply adjust the amounts of honey, Castile soap, and essential oil to suit your needs and preference.

To Use the Honey Lavender Face Wash:

  1. Apply a generous amount of the face wash to a cotton pad, cotton ball, or wet washcloth. Rub across your face gently in an upward motion. I have had good luck using these to remove waterproof mascara, just be very careful around your eyes.
  2. Rinse away well with warm water, then pat skin dry.

    Love this idea, is there a way to add ACV to the mix?

    Did you notice that it took a long time to get the face wash to rinse off completely because of all the oils?

      No, I did not. I had no problem rinsing the face wash off my face.

    Do you use liquid coconut oil? Every time I have tried using regular coconut oil (melted down) it turns into a solid mass on the top of everything by the next morning.

      Fractioned coconut oil works better. It stays liquid.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
