Cleansing Charcoal Facial Scrub DIY



Leave your skin feeling smooth with this Charcoal and Clay Face Scrub. Made with a liquid soap base, it has a gentle lather. Additional tamanu oil and hazelnut oil are added because of their amazing skin benefits. In particular, they are great for oily skin types. If you prefer different oil for your skin, feel free to swap them out. Just keep in mind it may change the consistency a bit!

The Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base is made exclusively from olive oil, resulting in a very mild soap. It has a light lather and gentle cleansing properties so it’s suitable for delicate facial skin. If you have extremely dry skin, this recipe may not be the best as it contains kaolin clay and charcoal, which may be drying. Decreasing the amount of kaolin clay and charcoal may help make it suitable for dry skin types; a small test batch may help you find the right ratio for you.

Recipe type: Face Scrub
Serves: 6 jars

Ingredients
  • Six 4 oz. Jars
  • 10 oz. Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base
  • 6 oz. Hazelnut Oil
  • 0.5 oz. Tamanu Oil
  • 11 oz. Kaolin Clay
  • 4 oz. White Jojoba Beads – Medium
  • 0.3 oz. Activated Charcoal
  • 3 mL Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • 0.1 oz. Optiphen
  • Dropper

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the Natural Castile Liquid Soap Base, hazelnut and tamanu oil. Stir until completely combined. The mixture will take on a milky appearance.
  2. Add the tea tree essential oil and Optiphen. Stir in completely.
  3. In a separate container, whisk together the kaolin clay, activated charcoal and jojoba beads until completely combined.
  4. Add the clay mixture into the liquid mixture in about 3-4 batches. Use a whisk to completely mix in. Adding the dry ingredients in batches helps prevent the dry ingredients from "poofing" up. Continue mixing until completely combined with no clumps. Pour the scrub into jars and seal with the lid.
  5. When you’re ready to use, apply a small amount of the scrub to wet skin. Use gentle circular motions to scrub and wash the face. Avoid the immediate eye area. Rinse off. Follow with moisturizer, or other skin care. Enjoy!

There are expensive spa treatments now that target cellulite through massage technology, but sessions are expensive and results can vary. This cellulite-busting body scrub and seaweed body wrap are the perfect combination for battling cellulite just like the spas do, but in the privacy and comfort of home, without the hefty price tag. Cellulite Coffee Scrub : While drinking coffee can deplete our tissues of fluid, applying coffee topically  can actually help fight cellulite.

It was hard coming up with the first recipe of the new year. Most people seem to be on some sort of strict diet this month, but how do you go from posting cookies, cakes, and cinnamon rolls, to salad? Yeah, we might be eating them these days, but who really eats it because they  like  it? I mean, if salad was pizza—super fattening with zero nutrients, who would “indulge” in a big bowl of lettuce?  I’m only half kidding!   I do enjoy a good salad every now and then, especially when it has loads of yummy toppings and a great dressing! But still, the first recipe needed to bridge the gap between sweet treats and something healthy, so a healthy treat it was!
