Hi Latonya,

Since you are posting in the holistic health forum I assume you are interested in finding a natural cleanser? I have a few recommendations for you.

I have had great success in cleansing my skin with raw honey. It is perfectly pH balanced for use on the skin and it is an extremely gentle cleanser which is antibacterial, antimicrobial, and full of beneficial enzymes. It also has the benefit of adding moisture to your skin without the use of oils or potentially pore clogging ingredients. It can be used as a face wash with a little warm water, morning and night. Or for more intensive treatment, it can be applied as a mask and left on the skin for as long as you like. It is very soothing, and the tiny particles allow for mild exfoliation with massage.

If you are looking for a slightly more abrasive treatment, that is also gentle and natural, I would recommend taking a little dry oatmeal in your hand, making a fist, and wetting the oats under warm running water, allowing the water to pass through your fingers and soak the oats. This will create a very soft and gentle exfoliant that will lift dirt from the skin, whilst soothing any redness.

Let me know if you have any questions!
