DIY Spa Treatment: A Botanical Face Wash


Updated 07/22/08 3:45 AM · Posted by BellaSugar · 4 comments

This DIY gentle facial cleanser recipe takes just minutes to put together yet leaves your face feeling soft, hydrated, and clean. Since it contains thyme (a puffiness reducer) your skin will look calmer and less irritated. I tweaked it to add ingredients that tone and tighten. Although this cleanser won't lather, I guarantee you'll feel it working. Here's what you'll need:



  • 1/2 Tbsp of dried thyme
  • a few small shavings of fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp crushed fennel seeds
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced (and take out the seeds)

    • STEP 1: Boil the water in a kettle and then pour it into a pot. Mix in the thyme, the ginger, and the fennel seeds and then cover the pot.
    • STEP 2: Next, add the lemon juice and let it sit, covered for 10 to fifteen minutes.
    • STEP 3: Then, strain the mixture so that the seeds, fennel, ginger, and lemon remnants don't make it to the final product. Pour the liquid into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator in between uses.
