Coconut Oil & Baking Soda Face Wash/Exfoliator/Mask With Essential Oils!!!

Coconut oil and baking soda face wash.

I could never find a good face wash that I like and while pregnant I went face wash free and that was the worst idea ever!!! I broke out so bad my face was horrible.

after having Hix I used a face wash for acne and it cleared up a little but nothing like before, I never had really bad acne but I do get the normal brake outs and there not my friends.

I’ve tried a few natural products found at the store like neutrogena naturals but nothing seemed to work that great so I set out to find recipes to make at home and found this coconut oil *we all know my love for coconut oil*  and baking soda.

I am going to give it a shot and you are coming with me :)

This is completely safe to use and has no nasty stuff inside, After a few google searches this mix has an amazing effect on scars, acne, redness, excess dirt and oil, and dead skin.

 Baking soda: is a home remedy to fight acne,regulates the pH of the skin and helps to heal brake outs.

Coconut oil: Healing,moisturizer and antibacterial qualities that beneficially affect the skin while nourishing it..

(Traditional virgin coconut oil will give best results)   

Sensitive skin: use the coconut oil and baking soda in a 2:1 ratio.

Exfoliator: use a 1:1 ratio. 

Instructions:

1. Mix together the coconut oil and baking soda. A little warm water will help the mixing process if your coconut oil is solid.
2. I added 2 drops of Lemon and 2 drops of frankincense essential oils. * Lemon is good for acne and frankincense is good for oily skin and scarring*
3. Apply to your face. Massage into you skin gently in circular motions, then wash it off with warm water.

OR 

you can use this as a mask and leave it on for a few minutes.

Now Follow me as I try it!!!

My first impression is it's ok not the best but I can make it work.
I think I may have added too much coconut oil and not enough baking soda (it's ok ill add more baking soda the next time i make it) but the added essential oils made it very nice, It did take my makeup off and make my skin soft as butter its defiantly something I'l keep trying to perfect.

 
Here are the Oils I added

 

 All Mixed up

 Before Skin.....

After...... It took all my make up off <3 yay

What I had left over a little goes a long way. I am going to add more baking soda to this mix next time I use it
