Tips for using and if you’re lazy like me, I have a tip for that too!
I’ve been using this cleanser for about a year now and have tried different ways of using it. It does have a very “liquidy” consistency which makes it a tad difficult to work with as it runs off your hands as you lift them to your face. (I wash my face in the shower) Some have used it in a foaming bottle, which I too have done. I just used an old Bath and Body Works bottle and it does work great, but I’m just silly and felt I wasn’t getting a “pure” form of this cleanser. I know I’m weird. It cleanses well, and you do need moisturizer or your face will feel dry. But I wanted a good scrubbing which you don’t really get with this used alone.So here’s my tip that has taken this cleanser to a whole other level. Use coffee grounds to act as an exfoliator. Keep a small container of grounds (sometimes I use expresso grounds as they are more fine but it’s up to you and what you like). Pour a small amount of grounds into your hand, then pump some of this cleanser onto it and mix together. This also helps to keep the liquid from running off your hands as you raise it to your face since it’s now mixed with the grounds. My face feels SO clean after I use this method and coffee is good for your skin, helps boost collagen so win win. Then I apply my hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and moisturizer . (by the way, make sure to clean out your outer ear afterwards)Are you as lazy as I am and hate to wash your face at night to remove your makeup? You know who you are. I’ve made some DIY wipes using this cleanser and other ingredients that are beneficial to your skin. I keep them in my room next to my bed so before I lay down I can grab one, wipe my face really well then apply some of my retinol cream and I’m done! Do some research on what’s great for your skin, I’ve tried many different recipes and finally settled on one I like which I will share with you if you’re taking that laziness one step further and just want the darn recipe. :-)Recipe for DIY Facial Cleansing and Makeup Remover Wipes (I use seventh generation baby wipes for this, but you can use thick paper towels or even cut up diaper cloths but of course you’d have to keep washing them and remember I’m lazy? At the moment I have the wipes in a wipe warmer and a warm wipe feels so nice, just periodically add purified water to the stack as it will tend to dry out a little).~2-3 cups purified water~2 tbsp fractionated coconut oil or olive oil~1 tsbp witch hazel~3 tbsp of this cleanser OR liquid castile soap~1 tsp vitamin E oil~20-25 drops of Frankincense essential oil or Lavender (don’t use tea tree as it is already in the cleanser if you use it)~~Keep in mind, this is my personal preferred recipe that works for me. I don’t always add all ingredients if I don’t have them on hand. I’m just sharing this to get you started on your own recipe if you’re interested~~ Hope this helps you!

*Great* wash for oily / combo skin + refreshing bath soak
Came across this old favorite from my teen years, and decided to try again – glad I did!For reference: I am an adult with oily, acne-prone and somewhat sensitive skin. Too harsh chemicals or scrubbing will really irritate skin around my nose, chin and cheekbones, in particular. Oh, and I always forget – my cheeks only are quite normal to dry! It’s pretty mean, but such is life. :PThis product works great. It’s fairly gentle, so I can use it with a soft washcloth to lightly exfoliate my skin. It’s frustrating to have sensitive skin that is easily congested by oil, that *needs* daily exfoliation, but this stuff seems to bridge the gap of gentle + cleansing. It feels like the tea tree helps heal my skin on the occasions which I over-scrub or it gets damaged by the harsh weather.I like that Desert Essence has been a company with a good conscience for decades, and I really like the price, too. If you have combo, oily and/or acne-prone skin – this one to try.Note: This is a huge 32 oz bottle, with no pump. It’s probably a refill bottle, but this price (currently ~$13) just can’t be beat. Buy a pump, or pour some into a smaller bottle that you refill, like I do.Oh, and my boyfriend sometimes steals a wash-worth of this when the skin under his beard is itchy, flaky — generally winter cranky. He likes it, too. :-)UPDATE: 12/01/2015 – Okay, so this really is a ridiculously large bottle. As such, especially given my propensity to try new things, this bottle was still heavy and full after nearly a year of time. Since taking stock of this I decided to see what else I could do with this wash, and I found that it made for an interesting bath.As a bath additive – this is not foamy for long. It flattens out very quickly and leaves the water cloudy. I think this is due to the castille soap, as this is the same as Dr. Bronner’s soaps. Like Bronner, you may not want to get this in your hair, or if you do reeeeeally rinse and condition and rinse – or you will get a weird residue + dry out thing. It also may gunk up your razor and leave a film in the tub.BUT, if you like tea tree scent and/or have oily/acne/etc body skin or anything else which can be cleared up by the medicinal properties of tea tree oil — this makes a strong and effective bath. I don’t really have oily skin aside from my face, neck and chest, but this still left my skin feeling great after a soak and jumping out of the bath to slather on some body oil. And I do happen to find some of the mediciney-smelling scents refreshing– tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary, etc. Mmm!Hope this helps! 🙂

LOVE IT! Daily facial cleanse….
I keep this in the shower and wash my face and acne prone areas, (ie: shoulders, neck, back) with it. Been using it for several years and finally hooked my husband on it, who is “not into that natural stuff). I even will use it in my hair once a month to strip out any hair product and build up. I do not use it more than that because IT WILL dry out your hair and strip the natural oils out. Once a month or as needed is perfect and you only need a pump or two. You get a very thin lather but don’t let that discourage you. Thin little layer on the face. AND, I only use it once a day because I don’t have very only skin as a whole. My husband had very oily skin and has to use it twice a day. You much be faithful with it, using it for a few weeks. I found results within a week’s time, but my daughter needed a couple of weeks to show results. (She’s young and a bit inconsistent with it so of course did not see fast results such as my husband and myself did. It’s with buying the small bottle with the pump and then ordering the big refill bottle. The Nature store by me inconsistently carries this and when they have it, it is significantly more costly. I ales you the Tae Tree stick by Desert Essence. It works for the big blemishes that all of a sudden arrive. I use it on the spot for two or three day, two or three times a day. Works in mosquito bites, too! Put it on the bite and it itches like CRAAAAAZY for about a minute, but the relief afterwards is incredible. It shrinks the bite down faster in a couple of days with consistent use.

Parece como el jabon liquido de castilla, en la piel deja un residuo que si pasas la mano no desliza y hasta las cejas se pegan a la piel. Tiene aceite de arbol de te que quema si te llega a entrar el jabon al ojo. Lo usare para lavar mi ropa porque para mi piel no funciono.
