Cleansing oil

This is a very easy recipe, but require you to buy polysobate 20, which is hard to find in local DIY store. I recommended you can go to makingcosmetics.com or New Directions Aromatics. They have decent price & quality.

Cleansing Oil
Ingredients:
Grapeseed or sunflower seed Oil......100ml(Substitute with 50ml of jojoba oil for better result)
Polysobate 20......10ml
Vitamin E......1 capsule
Sweet orange essential oil......4 drops (optional)

Pour all ingredient into a clean bottle & shake each time before use.

How to use:

1. Make sure your face is dry. Pour about a size of a quater of cleansing oil in the palm of your hand
2. Use finger tips to massage your face until all dirt is dissolved.
   
3. Add water to emulsify
4. Wash with a damp cloth.
5. If you still feel your face is not clean, repeat, but leave the oil on your skin for 1-2min. Then add water to emulsify & wash with a damp cloth.
   

You may be surprise that I recommend using cleansing oil. The reason behind is to use oil to dissolve oil. Do you know the main ingredient of soap is oil? Of course I do not recommend using soap to clean your face because it will be too drying (due to alkaline base of the soap), but it is a good example of using oil to dissolve oil. After you clean your face, you can feel your skin is not drying, yet it can breath.

You want to protect your baby from chemicals, right?

Since I was pregnant, I change my cosmetic line because I don't want my baby to take any chemicals. I was carefully reading the ingredient on every baby lotions, diaper rash cream, baby powder...etc before I purchase them. Still, I found they are not natural enough. So I decided to make my own.

Making your own baby care product has several benefits. The most important is they are all natural & cause less irritation. The other one is: It saves money.
