“Physical beauty begins with a well-cleansed face. “

Lily Morgan, Founder and Formulator of Lily Organics Farm Fresh Skin Care and Author of Beauty, Health, and Happiness: A Way of Life, offers a ‘make-it-yourself’ cleanser in her book.

“Baking soda used as a gentle cleanser helps detoxify the skin from the outside by removing the grit, grime, and pollution.”

A simple cleansing formula is:

2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon almond oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon honey

“On low heat, combine all ingredients except honey. Remove from heat and let cool. Add honey. It will separate, so stir before using. Apply to the skin like soap and rinse off with tepid water.”

Lily Organics offers facial cleansers for dry/mature, oily, combination, normal and acne-prone skin at lilyfarmfreshskincare.com. Ingredients for Lily Organics products are grown on a USDA Certified Organic farm and formulated in a USDA Certified Organic lab – on the same property.
