The 3 Best All-Natural Cleansers for Radiant Skin
If you walk down any beauty aisle in any drugstore, you will likely find rows upon rows of chemical-ridden creams and lotions that promise ageless and flawless clear skin. Given the enormous advertising budget of the multi-billion dollar beauty industry, it is no wonder that many of us fall into the trap of believing that we need these products to have healthy skin. Below are three all-natural, ultra-effective ingredients that can be found in your kitchen that can be used as a superior alternative to store bought cleansers. The best part? Most of them are under $10!
1. Raw Manuka Honey
Manuka honey is produced by bees that feed on the manuka shrub in New Zealand. It is an extremely versatile substance with many proven health and skin benefits. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, manuka can drastically help acne-prone skin, reduce redness, and heal inflamed skin and eczema. It also has moisturizing properties that hold in and absorb moisture without making the skin oily. You can apply manuka as a mask or a cleanser. As a cleanser, add a few drops of hot water to a quarter-sized dollop of manuka and massage onto your skin. Make sure you don’t mistake regular honey for raw manuka honey as it doesn’t possess the same benefits.
2. Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is also an anti-inflammatory, making it a fantastic organic cleanser for acne-prone skin. What’s great about hemp seed oil is that it moderates oil production, so it doesn’t clog your pores like many other natural oils. This ingredient is ideal for anyone with damaged, sensitive skin as it helps improve and restore skin elasticity and regenerate new skin cells. You can use hemp seed oil as either a spot treatment to treat immediate irritation and dry patches, or as a daily cleanser. To use as a cleanser, try mixing it with another antioxidant-rich essential oil such as lavender for maximum benefit.
3. Organic Oatmeal
Oatmeal contains chemicals known as saponins that are characterized by their rich cleansing properties. Saponins are also very high in antioxidants which can calm redness and dry, itchy skin. This makes organic oatmeal an ideal facial cleanser to use for anyone with sensitive skin or other skin issues like psoriasis, sunburn, and acne. To use organic oatmeal as a cleanser, just add warm water and honey to the oats and massage onto your skin.
