I originally shared my face cleanser recipe to create wipes to use to replace popular disposable face wipes that are on the market. It is a great recipe and one I recommend and will use for when I travel or am on the go. Since then I’ve made slight changes to the recipe so the cleanser will last longer and I’ll share that below.
I was finding that I was going through the cloths so quickly and the time to wash the cloths and make a new recipe did not fit in my schedule. I was resorting to purchasing disposable wipes again out of convenience. After some time I was getting upset by how much I was spending on disposable wipes and how much I was throwing away, it was too wasteful for me and went against my natural living desires.
Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Unfortunately, this happens. We all stray. But it’s the ability to identify and realign to our values that is most important. From here I had to think how I could make this recipe last longer and work how I needed it to.
The only adjustments I made where to store the cleanser in a glass soap dispenser bottle separately from the baby wash cloths and use a wash cloth each time I need to wash my face. I’m happy to say I love this! The cleanser is so nice and helps get eye makeup off and is a fresh, clean wash. I use it every night and every morning. I just love the scent of it too and how it makes my skin feel.
It is the same mix as my Face Cleanser Cloths recipe, just stored differently.
