calendula and honey facial cleanser

Calendula soothes skin while honey softens as it gently cleanses. Don’t worry that you’ll feel “sticky” from this formula; the honey rinses beautifully with warm water.

1 cup filtered water, boiling
2 teaspoons calendula flowers
1 tablespoon raw honey

Combine the boiling water and calendula flowers in a small bowl and steep for 15 minutes. Strain off herbs and transfer the infusion into a small, clean bottle. Add the honey and shake gently to mix (and shake before each use). To use, place a small amount in your palm and massage onto damp skin using small, circular motions. Rinse with warm water.
