DIY Apple Citrus Facial Cleanser

| Wednesday November 9, 2011

During the summer my friend and I experimented with this easy DIY cleanser and loved it. Ideal for combination to oily skin, the apple and citrus extracts act as astringents for a deep clean while yogurt adds a thick creaminess that leaves your skin feeling soft and bright.

2 peeled apple slices
2 Tbsp plain yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice

Wash, peel and slice fresh apple (any type will do). Puree in a food processor, then add yogurt, olive oil and juice to the mashed apple and mix thoroughly.

Massage the mixture onto your face for an all-over cleanse. Rinse off immediately with warm water.
