facial cleanser

[islandbeauty]

Hi everyone, i have castille soap base (paste form) and want to make some facial cleanser out of it, now what would be best to mix into it so that it can be a gentle facial cleanser, any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

maybe some clay? some eo's?
no real idea here, sorry

that's ok, but eo's would be good for scent...thanks

what do you want it to do that plain castile doesn't?

if you want to make it even more more gentle, add an oil perhaps
if you want it to be more drying, think about a clay
if you want some (perhaps) anti-acne properties think about neem or tea tree

well i have added distilled water to it and it's ok, but was just thinking what can be added into it to make it a little less drying. it's not sooo drying but i can still feel my face kind of tight, i added a bit of glycerin to it. btw the tips you gave are real good ones, going to try some of those. thanks
