INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Organic Coconut Oil
- 6 Activated Charcoal Capsules
- 2 tablespoons Pure Baking Soda
- 5 drops Rosemary Oil
- 3-4 drops Tea tree Oil
METHOD For Homemade Acne Face Wash
- Gently pull the activated charcoal capsules apart and empty them into a small container.
- Add the coconut oil (It is best for the coconut oil to be in a liquid state before mixing) and baking soda in charcoal powder.
- Now add the essential oils and mix well.
- Once everything is mixed up properly, you can store it into a container of your choice for later use.
Now apply a small amount on damp skin. Massage the mixture in and leave on for a few minutes so it seeps in and cleans out the pores. Rinse off with your wet washcloth. It will leave your skin moisturized. Now follow up with your usual routine.
This homemade acne face wash works on the oil cleansing method, so don’t be scared if your skin is oily. This will actually help it and removes makeup, too!
*I know it sounds crazy to use oil on already oily acne prone skin but remember that 1 of the top acne myths is that you should dry out the skin.

WHY IT WORKS
ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil binds with the excess sebum & surface dirt, drawing out impurities from pores. It is super hydrating and hydrates the skin with vitamin E & omega-3 fatty acids. The lauric acid in coconut oil has antibacterial properties. It is also great at removing makeup.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
Charcoal has been known to purge the skin of impurities and helps clear up blemishes. For activated charcoal, experts believe that when dirt & oil in the pores come in contact with the carbon, they will stick to it then get washed away when rinsing.
BAKING SODA
Sodium bicarbonate acts as a mild exfoliant. It has mild antiseptic properties & an incredible ability to fight off fungus & bacteria.
ROSEMARY OIL
This helps unblock the sebaceous glands and soothes the skin that has rashes. Rosemary oil when used on the skin will stimulate the healing of the damaged tissues and finally treats the scars well.
TEA TREE OIL
Tea tree oil is an effective natural treatment for acne. It disinfects pores, dries out whiteheads, blackheads and pimples too.
You can use this every evening before going to bed & store for 7 days.
