Whipping up your own cleanser concoction using ultra-nutritious whole ingredients can have a magical effect on your skin. This cleanser features avocado, an awesome superfood loaded with antioxidant properties and vitamins. This homemade face wash is a fantastically simple way to exfoliate your skin for a touchably smooth face.
