A face wash has been something I've wanted to make for a long time, ever since I started making my own beauty products. The goal was to create a facial cleanser that anyone could easily make at home using ingredients they already have. I wanted to make a formula that was easy to make, natural, and suitable for all skin types. You'll love this honey & rose face wash, as it's mild and moisturizing without leaving a greasy residue.

DOES THIS RECIPE NEED A PRESERVATIVE?
