Here are two simple and affordable facial cleansers you can make from home. You may be surprised to find you already own several of the ingredients! As you read the instructions, feel free to add in, or substitute, what you’d like. Other than the health benefits of using non-chemical cleansers on your skin, homemade products are highly versatile and adjustable to your needs.

I recommend you refrigerate both products and apply generously (as needed) with a cotton ball.

So basicaly, left over green tea can be used as a cleanser. No more wasting leftover tea! Many herbal teas are good for skin and as hair rinses.
Another good one I heard about on another blog is to lightly grind some oatmeal, take some in your hand and wet it, then apply to a wet face massaging a little extra around problem areas. Leave on for a few minutes then rinse off. It makes your skin very soft.
