Homemade Cleanser and Moisturizer

Hello Savvyhomemade members! Here I have a really good two-in-one homemade cleanser and moisturizer which helps me to soften some of my dry skin around my face, leaving it lovely and soft! Now you can use it on normal skin as well, just to give you that refreshing boost to your skin. You’ll see the glow in your face, I promise you!

Anyways, the two main ingredients are Jojoba and Grapeseed oils, which from what I’ve read have wonderful cleansing properties; but at the same time, they wont dry out your skin!

You can store this in a small sterilized bottle or jar. But I would recommend storing it in a darker place, to preserve the essential oil’s aroma. However it’ll last around three months regardless.


Your going to need the following:
- 3tbsp (45ml) of Jojoba oil
- 2tsp (10ml) of Grapeseed oil
- 1 drop of Geranium essential oil (geranium essential oil smells beautiful!)

First, throw in all of the ingredients into a small bottle or jar. Pop on a lid or cap tightly and shake to mix all the oils as well as you can. Make sure they are mixed thoroughly, otherwise it wont turn out as well as you’d hope.

Now, when you come to use it, apply sparingly with a cotton ball. Smooth it over the skin of your face gently, which will cleanse your skin. After, you can massage a drop into your skin which will moisturize and soften dry or normal skin.

Grapeseed and Jojoba are vital to this recipe, because they’re filled with loads of vitamins and minerals which do wonders to your skin. It’ll sooth and moisturize without making it greasy or dry, which is a big problem with some products you can buy.

When I first discovered this I was shocked at how easy it was to make and how quickly I was able to start applying it. And above all, I was shocked at how well it worked! And now I’m hoping you can have the benefits of this beauty of a cleanser and moisturizer as well!

Good luck and happy making!
