Smooths bumps • Exfoliates gently • Renews skin barrier
Say goodbye to keratosis pilaris (aka “chicken skin”) with this natural, skin-loving body wash.
Formulated to gently exfoliate, soothe inflammation, and restore moisture, this recipe supports soft, even-toned skin — without harsh scrubs or synthetic ingredients.
🌿 What You’ll Need:
- ½ cup Liquid Castile Soap – gentle, non-stripping cleanser
- ¼ cup Aloe Vera Gel – calms irritation + hydrates
- 2 tbsp Glycerin or Raw Honey – seals in moisture
- 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar – natural AHA, balances pH
- 1 tbsp Papaya Enzyme Powder – dissolves dead skin enzymatically
- 1 tbsp Jojoba or Squalane Oil – moisturizes without clogging pores
- ½ tsp Ground Oats or Brown Rice Flour – soft physical exfoliation
- 5 drops Lavender Essential Oil – soothing, calming
- 5 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil – antibacterial, clarifying
🧪 How to Make It:
- In a bowl, combine aloe vera, glycerin/honey, and oil.
- Stir in papaya enzyme, apple cider vinegar, and oats/flour.
- Add liquid castile soap last to preserve lather. Stir gently.
- Mix in essential oils.
- Pour into a pump or squeeze bottle for easy use.
💧 How to Use:
- Use 2–4 times per week in the shower.
- Apply to damp skin and massage in gentle, circular motions.
- Let sit for 1–2 minutes for deeper exfoliation.
- Rinse thoroughly and follow with a body oil or moisturizer.
⚠️ Pro Tips:
- Always do a patch test before full-body use.
- Avoid using on broken, sunburned, or freshly shaved skin.
- Store in a cool, dry place. Best used within 4 weeks.
✨ Why It Works:
This DIY blend uses a synergy of enzymatic (papaya) and AHA (ACV) exfoliants to unclog pores and dissolve buildup — while oats, aloe, and oils deliver moisture and calm irritation. A perfect low-tox alternative for smoother, healthier skin.
