Create your Own Cleanser ✨ DIY RECIPE

Even the best skincare routine can start to feel a little... stale.
Over the years, many Simple Body customers have told us that their skin seems to “get used to” their products—like they’re not performing quite as well as they used to. If that sounds familiar, it might be time to give your routine a little refresh!

The good news? You don’t have to buy all-new products. With a few simple tweaks, you can transform items you already have into two new, skin-loving cleanser options that bring your complexion back to life.

Option 1: Oil Cleanser + Detox

This nourishing cleanser combines the hydrating power of oil with the detoxifying benefits of clay for a deep, restorative clean that leaves your skin feeling soft and balanced.

You’ll Need:

  • 5 tsp Simple Body Makeup Remover

  • 2 tsp Kaolin Clay

Instructions:

  1. Combine ingredients in a clean, sanitized glass container (we love reusing Simple Body jars!).

  2. Use a quarter-sized amount to gently cleanse your skin, avoiding the eye area.

  3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

💡 Because this recipe doesn’t contain water, it doesn’t require a preservative. However, for longer shelf life, store it in the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature before using.

Option 2: Foaming Clay Cleanser

For a refreshing daily cleanse, this formula combines our ultra-gentle Baby Wash + Shampoo with French Green Clay for a clarifying, skin-softening experience.

You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup Simple Body Baby Wash + Shampoo

  • 1 tsp French Green Clay

Instructions:

  1. Combine ingredients in a clean, sanitized foaming dispenser.

  2. Shake well before each use.

  3. Pump a small amount into your hand and massage onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

✨ You can substitute your favorite Simple Body Foaming Face Wash if you prefer, but the Baby Wash is especially gentle for sensitive or reactive skin.
Since this recipe contains water, it’s best stored in the refrigerator and allowed to warm slightly before use.

Why This Works

Sometimes your skin just needs variety. Introducing new textures and ingredient combinations helps re-engage your skin’s natural renewal process—without disrupting your barrier. These two DIY cleansers provide the perfect balance between deep cleansing and gentle nourishment, using the same Simple Body formulas you already love.

So before you think your skincare has “stopped working,” try shaking things up! Your skin (and your wallet) will thank you.
