Most of us aren't concerned whether a particular cleanser suits our skin type or not. But there are cleansers that you should use according to your skin type.

The cleanser might be made for your skin type, but it isn't necessary that it might suit you. This happens when you use a store-bought cleanser. It is best to switch to a homemade cleanser, as it is 100% organic and has no adverse effects on the skin.

Homemade cleanser not only avoids common skin problems such as acne, eczema, but also is gentle on the skin.

Here are 8 amazing and best homemade cleansers according to your skin type, take a look.

For Normal Skin

Yogurt And Banana Cleanser
Mix 2 teaspoons of yogurt and ½ mashed banana pieces into a smooth paste. Apply this on your face and let it dry. Wash off with lukewarm water and moisturize soon after. Since you have a normal skin, you should focus on maintaining it by enriching your skin with vital nutrients such as Vitamin E, A, and protein.

Fuller's Earth Face Pack
Mix Fuller's earth with rose water to make a semi-thick paste. Apply this on your face in an upward direction. Wash off after 10 minutes. Don't let it dry too much, as it will suck the essential oils out of your face. Rinse off with tap water and apply a light moisturizer.

You can prepare all these cleansers and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Make it in quantities that will last for a week or two, as making more will turn it rancid. Use all these daily for best results.
