Date Night: Cleanser product making!

So, I'm actually proud to say that my husband has finally gone on the wagon of using natural products or at -least being open to them. Ladies, this is also a great date night if you want to try something new, exciting and even sexy. Subsequently, I thought it might be fun to try and make him some things he will use so that he can finally throw away those chemical filled products. There was actually one product that we made together that he has been raving about. Try it with your hubby and tell me how it goes!

We made the Aloe, cucumber and Tea Tree Cleanser (normal to oily skin).
I think I may have actually made this recipe a little stronger that supposed to because of substituting different ingredients for things I didn't have. Here is the recipe!

Aloe, cucumber and Tea Tree Cleanser (normal to oily skin)

3 ounces (90ml) of liquid Castile soap (store bought as Whole Foods)
1 ounce (29g) Aloe Vera gel
1/2 ounce (15ml) water
Quarter ounce (7.5ml) glycerine
1/2  ounce (15ml) witch hazel
1 drop rosemary
1 drop tea tree extract

Quatre ounce (7.5ml) cucumber juice*
1 cucumber
3 tablespoons water

Peel 1/2 cucumber and add three tablespoons of water. Puree in the blender and strain. Add the cucumber juice to the other ingredients and mix well. Place it in a container with a name and write down the date

This mixture should last anywhere from 2 to 3 months
Aloe vera gel & Glycerine: Helps with moisture, solubility and glide-off of the cleanser.
The other ingredients provide extra cleansing that the oily skin needs, without stripping the skin.
The cucumber is used for clarifying and tea tree extract is for the antibacterial properties.
