Most days, my face and I tend to be at odds with each other! We have what some would consider a complicated relationship! Don’t get me wrong I love who I am, and embrace every perfect imperfection! BUT, one thing is for sure… I really don’t appreciate all these bumpy visitors that take up residence on my face from time to time!
As a teenager, I didn’t have perfect skin, but I also didn’t have that much of an acne problem either. Then…all of the sudden (without notice!!)…once adulthood came along, some weird skin issues came with it!
What in the World!? Yep, Adult Acne! Why, Lord, Why!!??
To be honest with you, I was so embarrassed…I was supposed to be over all of this kind of teenage facial stuff! Right?!….WRONG!!
The truth is, it happens to the best of us. So, we just have to roll with it and arm ourselves (or shall I say, “our faces”) with the best defense!!
So, here we go!
Let’s start with a good base: Orange Blossom Botanical Face Wash
Okay, first of all, this stuff smells Heavenly! This gentle, soap-free facial wash cleanses the skin without stripping natural oils. It contains MSM for softening and Lavender essential oil to soothe skin. It also contains, Patchouli essential oil to help support a younger-looking appearance, Lemon essential oil to brighten skin, and Rosemary essential oils to promote toned, firm skin! Whew!!!! Did you catch all that!?? As if that were not enough, it also contains: Orange Blossom Extract to help maintain moisture, Canlendula Extract to help promote skin conditioning….AND, Wolfberry Seed Oil which helps even skin tone, and promote hydration.
That right there… is a face full of Heaven! But, let’s not stop there, let’s crank up the volume on this Facial Cleanser!
Since we will be using a “Foaming Soap Jar”, we will add 2 key essential oils that will help our faces reflect the JOY that we feel inside!
The first addition to our Facial Cleanser will be: Frankincense Essential Oil
One of the benefits of adding Frankincense essential oil to our Facial Cleanser includes helping to maintaining radiant skin. Frankincense has the ability to smooth the look of healthy skin.
And secondly, we will add: Lavender Essential Oil
Yes, you read this right! We will add 5 additional drops of Lavender essential oil to our facial cleanser! Lavender is such a rich and beneficial oil to have! In addition to smelling GLORIOUS, Lavender is a soothing and relaxing oil that helps sooth irritation.
I bet your face is starting to smile right about now!
So without further ado…Ladies & Gentlemen…The Recipe!!
In a Foaming Soap Jar:
2 Tablespoons of Orange Blossom Botanical Face Wash
5 Drops of Frankincense Essential Oil
5 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
Top it off is Purified Water
AND PUMP AWAY!
There you go!
Each night, before you lay your sweet little head on your comfy pillow, just wash your face with this amazingly fragrant, and soothing Facial Cleanser and begin to enjoy God’s natural benefits in a bottle…all over your beautiful face!
