Cleanser
1
Blend 2 oz. grape seed oil, 5 tsp. sesame oil and 2 tsp. wheat germ oil in a small bowl.
2
Add 4 drops lavender and 1 drop chamomile essential oils, mixing thoroughly. Store the mixture in a dark-colored glass bottle with a secure lid, out of direct sunlight.
3
Shake the bottle well, and then pour a dime-sized amount onto your palm. Rub your hands together to warm the oils, and massage them gently onto your face using circular motions.
4
Wipe the cleanser away with a soft, moistened cloth. Rinse and wring out the cloth two to three times, and continue wiping until you remove all traces of oil. Splash your face lightly with cold water, and then pat dry with a clean towel.
Toner
1
Pour 2/3 cup distilled water and 1/3 cup aloe vera gel into a bowl. Mix well.
2
Add 2 drops each cypress and ylang-ylang essential oils. Stir to mix in the essential oils; pour the mixture into a glass bottle, and store it in the refrigerator.
3
Shake the bottle before using. Pour a small amount onto a cotton ball or pad to dampen it, and apply the toner to your entire face. Do not rinse; instead, let your skin air dry and follow with a moisturizer.
