Series: Face Cleaner. POST1. Clementine Facial Cleansing Milk (by Marie)

This is one the first things I made. I used it a lot without much thinkin and then realized I wanted to improve the recipe to my liking. I share with you the first impressions in this series that will eventually, with some luck and study, take me to rpoduce my own cleansing milk.

I share with you the original recipe plus the changes I made based on what I had!

This cleansing milk was gentle to my skin, but didn't give me a feeling of proper cleaning. Like it was missing some cleaning power. I analysed the SAL ( which is an italian way of describing the active matter in a detergent, or maybe the cleaning power and it's a result of the cleaning power of the surfactants in a recipe) and it's only 2 which I think it may be too low for what I want.
