Step 2

Give Your Skin a Deep Cleansing

2. Allow it to cleanse your skin for 30 seconds to 1 minute for dry to normal skin or 1 to 2 minutes for oily skin.

3. Rinse well.

This Lemongrass Soap Set’s signature “citrus” fragrance is a natural blend of shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil with essential oil of lemongrass, known for  exfoliating, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

Tips: If you’re new to deep skin cleansing or it’s been a while since you’ve taken some time to give your skin some self care, you may experience some initial “breakout” for several days, as your pores become unclogged and your skin is finally able to expel impurities that have been trapped.

A compress of very warm water and oatmeal – food grade – used as a homemade mask can help draw out the impurities and clear up possible breakouts faster.

As always, test sensitive areas like your face and avoid using drying ingredients like oatmeal around your sensitive eye, nostril, and lip areas.

Step 3

Gently Steam Your Face

Rita Scarf from India

Carefully steaming your face for up to 10 minutes, using a cosmetic steamer, a bowl of hot water, or enjoying a hot shower helps prepare your skin for exfoliation by softening or “melting” hardened oils that clog your pores.

Leaning 8 – 10 inches above a cosmetic steamer or bowl of hot water while draping or “tenting” a towel over your head can help concentrate the steam around your face. If the steam feels uncomfortably hot, then allow more space between the heat source and your skin to prevent burning.

Use caution when handling hot water or steam to prevent injury from burns.

Step 4

Follow Up with a Natural Scrub

Creating a natural exfoliating scrub with ready ingredients from your pantry can be easy and fun! Sugar mixed with honey or leftover coffee grounds from your morning coffee time are just a few of the natural ingredients you can use to gently exfoliate your skin.

Step 5

Balance & Tone Your Skin’s PH Levels

Every woman’s body is totally unique with her own signature body chemistry.

Use a skin toner that is specially formulated for your unique skin PH levels. Balancing your skin PH levels will help prevent irritation, itching, and redness.

Don’t have a skin toner?

Try our Invigorating ‘Warsh’ Bar with Bergamot Essential Oil, a natural astringent to help smooth and balance your skin tone!

Step 6

Moisturize Your Skin, Even if It’s Oily!

If your skin is oily, then use a moisturizer specially made for oily skin. Many women with different skin types find pure natural coconut oil – food grade – to be a very effective and inexpensive natural skin moisturizer. But you’ll want to allow it to fully absorb into your skin before applying makeup, clothes, or coming into contact with furniture or bedding.

Pearl Studs from India

You will need to experiment for yourself to discover which moisturizer is best for your skin.

Again, every woman’s body is totally unique with her own signature body chemistry. Whenever possible, try to use natural body products to protect your skin from the damaging effects of chemicals and free radicals that contribute to skin disease and premature aging.

Tip: All skin types benefit from moisturizer.
