DIY Facial Products

I've always had dry, sensitive skin. I am also pretty cheap so I don't like spending a lot of money on products. And I'm weary of using lots of chemicals. I've found some great solutions for my skin and I hope some of them may be helpful for you too!

I saw this pin a while ago and have been using my homemade eye makeup remover for a year or so. It has worked great for me. The pin that I saw was from don't just live your life, love it!

If you want exact measurements, check out the cited post. Here's what I do:

1. Fill up bottle half way with water
2. Give it a squirt of baby shampoo
3. Add a little olive oil 

Like I said, it has worked well and I like that I'm moisturizing the skin around my eyes with olive oil. It works just as good as the expensive store bought stuff I was using before.

Not from Pinterest, but related to this, is my face wash. I used to use Noxzema back in the day. Besides the weirdo smell, it worked fine, but I felt like there were a billion chemicals. (Turns out it is pretty hazardous. Look up your beauty products' hazard ratings here). Luckily, I have an awesome sister (3 awesome sisters, actually) who told me about Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. I use the baby mild liquid soap. I just dilute it with water and sometimes add peppermint oil. It has worked great on my skin. The 32 ounce bottle is around $14, but it lasts forever. I have also started using it for my baby. It's much more gentle (and less hazardous) than the typical baby wash I was using.

Last facial product tip is Witch hazel. Not really DIY, because you just use it as is. But it works great as a toner and it's cheap! I've read that you can use it to treat many things, including baby eczema. (It's recommended to dilute it with water first).
