I have tried every single face wipe on the market. I am slowly but surely changing all of my beauty products to natural concoctions; not only saving money but improving my overall health using the therapeutic benefits of doTERRA’s essential oils. (If you would like to purchase doTERRA products, please shop HERE).
Here is what you will need to make your own face wipes:
[Disclosure: affiliate links below]
- 8-ounce Reusable Airtight Jar
- Swisspers Premium Cotton Rounds
- Thayers Alcohol-free Unscented Witch Hazel
- doTERRA’s Fractionated Coconut Oil
- doTERRA essential oils
- I used 11 drops of Melaleuca, 6 drops of Cedarwood, and 3 drops of Frankincense.
- Melaleuca is great for cleansing the skin.
- Cedarwood is fantastic for clarifying
- Frankincense works wonders for aging skin
- You could add: lemon (do NOT use if going out in the sun!), geranium, ylang ylang, cypress, chamomile
- I used 11 drops of Melaleuca, 6 drops of Cedarwood, and 3 drops of Frankincense.
- Water (filtered or distilled preferred)
- Measuring Cup
Directions
- Add 5 tablespoons of witch hazel, 20 drops of essential oils (could use more or less depending on your needs), 1/4 tablespoon of Fractionated Coconut Oil, and 1/4 tablespoon of water to your measuring cup. Mix together.
- Put cotton rounds into the airtight jar.
- Pour mixture over cotton rounds.
- Close jar and shake until mixture is well distributed.
- Voila! Now you have all natural face wipes!
I have played around with this recipe for the past 2 months. The first time I created this face wipes, I added too much Fractionated Coconut Oil. I have combination skin, so it definitely helped my dry areas but felt a little too slick for my liking on my oily spots. If you have dry skin, I would recommend adding more FCO.
What’s next?
I usually use my face wipes before bed to “wipe away my day.” I also like sleeping on a clean pillow each night. I also use these in the morning and after I exercise. They are super cleansing and keep my face clear of blemishes.
Before bed, I apply doTERRA’s Immortelle. Immortelle is an anti-aging blend. It comes in a roller bottle. I make sure to apply it right below my eyes to negate any fine lines and wrinkles. A little goes a long way; lightly dab the oil on your face.
If you try my face wipes, place an order, or have any questions be sure to comment below.

Hi,
I was wondering how many you make at a time. How long do they keep, and should they stay in the fridge?

Hi! I just made as many as could fit in the jar and I liked them in the fridge to refresh my face… if they are in an air-tight container, they should keep just fine!
