You'll Need:

  • 1 cup alcohol free witch hazel
  • 20-30 drops essential oil of your choice such as tea tree or lavender
  • cotton rounds
  • clean, airtight jar or container

Directions:

  1. Clean the jar and fill with cotton rounds.
  2. Pour enough of the witch hazel liquid to cover the cotton rounds.
  3. Add your favorite essential oils and close the jar. Shake gently to mix.
  4. Use as you would any other acne pads, by taking a cotton round out and swiping onto the face or body. Be sure to remove any traces of makeup before hand.

Essential Oils:

Tea tree oil is the best essential oil to use for acne prone and oily skin, but should not be used on sensitive skin.

Lavender oil is best to use for those with sensitive, dry, or combination skin.

I have been making my own face wipes for a long time, but I have always wished to find cotton rounds that are more like those you would find in an Oxy or Stridex product. Does anyone have any idea where to find them?

I’ve been having the same problem!! But I finally found something! They’re called round rayon wipes or round waffle rayon wipes! Here’s some: https://www.delasco.com/waffle-weave-cleansing-pad-pack-of-50/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpfHzBRCiARIsAHHzyZop2hMOdd-EZaFxZPBcPsO43_TehRmw4c80JGhMCsh11dP_6-LZarUaArg9EALw_wcB
