This homemade grapefruit mint body wash is one of those recipes. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it also works to boost the health of your skin. After soaping up in the shower, your skin will feel silky smooth. Let\u2019s take a look at the ingredients that elevate this <strong>body wash<\/strong> (and your skin) to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Castile Soap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquid castile soap originally contained laurel oil and olive oil. After laurel oil became unavailable, it was exclusively made with olive oil. Nowadays, liquid castile soap contains other oils, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Coconut+Oil&amp;id=266#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"25\" title=\"Herbal products containing Coconut Oil\">coconut oil<\/a>. Castile soap is made more ethically and is way more environmentally friendly than a lot of other soaps out there. In addition to being biodegradable and nontoxic, castile soap does not strip away the skin\u2019s natural oils. Instead, it helps to clean the skin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/hydration-vs-moisture-how-to-know-what-your-skin-needs\/\">while hydrating it at the same time<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Almond Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Almond oil is a nourishing oil that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-best-carrier-oils-for-every-skin-type\/\">suitable for every skin type<\/a>. It assists with cleansing the skin while adding moisture simultaneously. Almond oil is a rich source of monounsaturated oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid and linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. Researchers note that almond oil is also a rich source of vitamin E, providing nearly 261% of the recommended daily value per 100 milliliters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Witch Hazel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an astringent with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, witch hazel may help soothe inflammation and fight acne. It is commonly applied to the skin and scalp to reduce skin irritation. Roughly 45% of Americans have sensitive skin, and some research indicates that topical application of witch hazel to sensitive skin may help treat broken, irritated, or inflamed skin. One study found that using a lotion with 10% witch hazel extract helped reduce skin inflammation and effectively treated erythema.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peppermint Essential Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Peppermint&amp;id=74#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"53\" title=\"Herbal products containing Peppermint\">Peppermint<\/a> essential oil exhibits a long list of benefits for skin health. It contains antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-itching, and anti-inflammatory properties. The primary compound (menthol) in peppermint essential oil may exhibit anti-inflammatory effects when applied to the skin. Researchers note that menthol has cooling effects on the skin, which can help diminish the sensation of itching triggered by histamine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grapefruit Essential Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Grapefruit essential oil is bursting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/vitamin-c-p-67.html\">vitamin C<\/a>, an antioxidant that helps to brighten and hydrate the skin. It even works to support the production of collagen. Grapefruit essential oil also contains other antioxidants that work to protect the skin from harmful free radicals. It also contains fruit acids, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/health-beauty\/2-coffee-face-scrubs-to-help-exfoliate-the-skin\/\">help exfoliate the skin<\/a>. Finally, it has d-limonene, which exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective ingredient to help fight acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grapefruit Mint Body Wash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2\/3 cup witch hazel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/4 cup liquid castile soap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/4 cup almond oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 drops grapefruit essential oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 drops peppermint essential oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foaming soap dispenser<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large bowl or glass measuring cup, add all of the ingredients and stir well to combine.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place a funnel into the foaming hand soap bottle and pour the mixture into the dispenser.
