Commercial vs. Homemade Face Cleanser Costs — powered by eHow.com
Just ran out of Witch Hazel, which I normally use as a facial cleanser. It’s cheap and easy to use- but thought I would see what other non-toxic-eco friendly beauty products that I have available to use in my kitchen.

Great recipes. In response to the other comment, I keep dried chamomile flowers in my house. Most herbalists, or people who just like herbal tea, do have this in the cupboard.
