Store-bought facial cleansers come surrounded in plastic, and probably contain plastics as well. Not to mention the added chemicals and 7-syllable scientific words too hard to pronounce. When you’re looking for a cleaner clean, we’ve got your back.
In fact, we’ve got your front too. This natural facial cleanser has no harmful chemicals, will help with inflamed skin, rosacea, and other skin conditions, and won’t cost as much as the pricey organic options at the store.
Simply Clean
Simplify your skincare routine with this awesome, wholesome facial cleanser. What’s the trick? Jojoba Oil. It is a moisturizing essential oil that is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-oil – thanks to its non-greasy texture, jojoba oil actually makes your skin produce less natural oil (sebum) making your skin less oily.
That’s why jojoba is a great natural acne fighter. Beside cleansing and moisturizing, jojoba helps to treat eczema and psoriasis as well as arthritis and rheumatism. It contains myristic acid, which is known to help lessen the pain and symptoms associated with arthritis.
Putting Oil On Your Face?
That’s right. You’re wondering, “How does putting oil on my face make my skin less oily?” It’s because oil attracts other oils, and jojoba is more similar to the oil your face naturally produces than the animal and synthetic oils in most store-bought cleansers. This is why jojoba oil works so well, and why you should make it an essential part of your skincare kit.
Now you’re asking “Well, why rose water?” Rose water is another natural nourishing moisturizer that soothes and cools your skin. Rose water is another anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic cleanser and it works on all skin types.
Rose water will sooth sensitive and irritated skin, balance and cleanse oily skin, soften and tone mature skin, and add a beautiful glow to any skin type. The various vitamins and antioxidants in rose water quiet the signs of ageing and will nourish your skin.
Hopefully you recognize yourself in the mirror after using this wonderful, natural cleanser.
