How To Make Honey Chamomile Face Wash:

1. Infuse your almond oil with dried chamomile flowers. To do this, you have to create a double boiler, heat up the oil, then add the chamomile flowers. Allow it to infuse for a minimum of 30 minutes by keeping it simmering and stirring occasionally. If you can leave it longer then do. Let it cool.

2. Strain the almond oil into a jar using a muslin or fine sieve.

3. Add filtered water to the glass soap dispenser.

4. If you add the Castile soap before the water, you’re going to have a bubbly mess on your hands.

5. Add your soap and chamomile infused almond oil to the soap dispenser.

6. It will look slightly separated, but that is okay.

7. Screw the lid on and shake vigorously

8. Add honey, rosehip oil, lavender essential oil, and melaleuca essential oil to the dispenser.

9. Pour into the foaming dispenser, apply the lid, give it a good shake, and the face wash is done!
