DIY Powder Cleansers

Have you ever tried powder cleansers? They are becoming a rage these days and many brands are coming up with amazing powder cleansers which are not only mild on the skin but work better than conventional foaming cleansers too. Read this article and try making your own cleansing grains or powder cleansers.

WHAT ARE POWDER CLEANSERS?

Powder cleanser or cleansing grains are a powdered facial cleanser that is made of clays, ground oats, nuts/seeds, herbs, and other powdered ingredients that can be used to cleanse your face. You need to wet a small amount of the powdered blend, in the palm of your hand, and cleanse your face with the wet muddy concoction as you would with your normal soap cleansers. The less watery your mixture is, the more exfoliating it will feel. For a gentler wash, add more water. Instead of plain water, you can also make a mixture using our organic hydrosols. Mixing them with honey works amazing for the skin too. For an extra treat, you can use herbal tea, honey, yogurt, milk, or even freshly squeezed juice, instead of water and leave this concoction on your face for 4-5 minutes.

DIY POWDER CLEANSERS

They can be made using clays, grounds oats, nuts, seeds, pulses, and herbal powders. You can choose herbs according to your skin type and blend them all together and store in an airtight jar. Make sure the powders are fine enough to be used daily as a cleanser.

Which brands of oats do you recommend to make these cleansers. I don’t eat oats and don’t really want for the gimmick of false organic oats.

Hey. You can try true elements.

How to grind the Oats so fine? My general home mixer leaves it very coarse. I’m willing to purchase a better grinder, do let me know if you have recommendations too.

Hi, even if the powder reamins coarse, it will become mushy when you add water.

I recently fell in love the concept of dry cleansers and I am definitely trying these. Thank you for sharing.
