Angels on Bare Skin Recipe
This simple recipe makes an all-natural face cleanser suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin. It’s a dough-like consistency that you use a small amount of and then dilute in water in your hand. You then rub it on your skin, and it gently picks up oil and makeup, which rinses away without the need for soap. It’s gentle yet exfoliating and also cleans without stripping your skin of natural moisture. This recipe makes enough for a month’s supply.
