• In a double boiler, heat the coconut oil until melted.  Remove from heat and add the clay, spirulina and optional essential oil.  Stir until slightly thickened and cooled and pour into jars.  Cool completely before placing lid on the jars.

To Use:

• Using clean fingers, scoop a nickel sized dollop of the cleansing oil and massage over the face in firm circular motions.  Wipe the surface oil away with a facial tissue or a cotton square or pad (to avoid clogging your drain with excessive oil), then thoroughly rinse with warm water and a washcloth.  It is not necessary from a pH standpoint to use a toner like this homemade version after using an oil based cleanser, but you might like to use one to remove any residual oil left after cleansing.  Follow with your favorite moisturizer if necessary.
