Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is?



Olive & Castor Oil!

I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details.

I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs.

-15% Castor oil

-85% olive oil

-Shake and place in shower with wash cloth.

- Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in)

-Use the warmth of shower to open pores.

-Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt.

Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish (I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only have 1 bottle to contend with. Nice...

This is a winner and so frugal. That big bottle of Castor oil was $7.50 from my favorite online store ( this will last my family well over a year) and we've always got cold pressed olive oil on hand!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Yes, I'm double posting! I this has really worked for us and I wanted other to hear about. Hope it haelpd someone.

Blessings,

julie

What about your husband? Does he use it? How does it work for him? Why have you removed his picture?

Yes, Superman does use it, that's the reason we started. His skin VERY supple in a burly guy kind of way.
His picture was removed because he is just too cute and I didn't want the other bloggers to see what a great thing I have!

I will have to go over to the site you linked. I have very oily skin so it does scare me to put oil on it, but I also know that olive oil is good for the skin. I'll have to read up.

Your megaphone is funny, but a great idea. We have a one story home, but if my kids are listening to separate music or audio books they close their doors. Mmmm, might have to try this.

Thanks for commenting on my hallway post. It has been so nice to look down the hall and see something prettier than either a closed door or a bathroom. The glass door cabinet you have sounds pretty. It is really nice to add these touches here and there.

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you ...
