Kitchen-Made Face Cleansers



These do-it-yourself concoctions are designed for dry, oil or normal skin types. The apple cider vinegar acts as a natural astringent; the olive oil helps remove dirt; the lactic acid in the yogurt exfoliates; and the lemon juice tightens pores.

Dry Skin
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 mashed banana or avocado
1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp olive oil


Oily Skin
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp lemon juice


Normal Skin
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
Choose one cleanser, depending on your personal skin type. Combine all ingredients well. Scoop out approximately 1/4 cup and apply all over face with a soft, circular motion. Rub into skin for at least one minute. Rinse well with cool (not cold) water. Gently pat dry with a soft cloth. Store unused cleanser in the refrigerator for up to seven days
