There are many products on the market that are used to treat acne, but often, the best remedy is one that you make yourself. By making your own homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser, you will not only save money, but you will also know exactly what your cleanser contains. Here is a recipe, and some information to help you create your own homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser.

First, you should know what natural herbs to use. Lavender is the most popular anti-bacterial herb, and should be included in your homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser. Rosemary has astringent properties, and should also be included. Patchouli helps regenerate skin cells, and has antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Eucalyptus is also an anti-bacterial herb.Tea tree is noted for relieving skin irritation and skin problems. Sadalwood is also an antiseptic and astringent herb. Finally, Bergamont and Clove are also both antiseptic herbs.

Do not use all of the herbs listed here together. That may make your homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser too strong and irritate your skin. Instead, choose the herbs that you wish to use, then follow the directions below to make your own homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser.

You can easily make a homemade anti-bacterial skin cleansing cream by mixing one ounce of bees wax, 1 1/2 tablespoons of water, and 1/2 cup of sweet almond oil or sunflower oil. Using a double boiler, combine the was and the oil, and heat over boiling water until the wax is melted. Heat the water separately - in a microwave - then add it to the mixture, stirring continually. Continue stirring as the mixture cools, then add 20 - 30 drops of essential oil of the herbs that you choose. You can also put in ground herbs. A teaspoon should do it, but make sure that the herbs are ground up as finely as possible.

You can also make soap to use as a homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser. Start with a bar of Ivory soap, as it doesn't contain any impurities. Using a common kitchen grater - such as that which you would use to grate cheese - grate the bar of soap, and melt it in a pan over heat. Add 20 - 30 drops of essential oil of your chosen herbs, or a teaspoon of finely ground herbs. Pour the soap mixture into a bowl or a small metal or glass dish and allow it to dry.

Making your own homemade anti-bacterial skin cleanser is not only economical and safe, but you may even find that it is quite fun!
