DIY Charcoal Face Wash

• Have your children wash their face at least once per day.
• Hydrate: with water! Sodas and sugary drinks are fine on occasion, but should not be the norm.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid sugary treats. When re-fueling your body aim for a balanced diet. Always include a protein, carb, and fat.
• Exercise.
• Don’t touch your face.

DIY Charcoal Face Soap Ingredients & Tools

1.  Activated Charcoal Powder
2.  Goats Milk Melt and Pour Soap Base
3. Young Living Tea Tree Oil

This recipe, when used with the mold linked above, usually makes approximately 10 bars of soap. One batch generally lasts around a year and a half. When we are close to running out, I make another batch. When the bars are set I wrap them individually in wax paper and store them in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.
