I added this one a while ago. Don't know that it is the one you are looking for but it is a good one that my girls and i use all the time. Its so handy, and nice for when you need to hurry to wipe off or clean up.

I make my own diaper type wipes, and my grown daughters use them to remove makeup with. I use about 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup baby shampoo (dollar store brand) or baby wash, 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup baby oil, depends on skin type. 2 Cups of water. And old diaper wipe container or container that will seal and hold them, or a zip lock baggie. I buy Bounty paper towels (select a size) as they hold up great when wet. Cheap paper towels seem to fall apart to fast. These work great for a makeup remover, diaper wipe, or just a fast clean up in the car of dirt hands or face.

its gentle enough for everyday use on your face, and it so easy to make and use.
I still have enough stuff on hand to make MANY more containers of it out of just a couple spoonfuls of stuff going in to a contain each time.

Is this stuff good for all skin types? I have very sensitive skin and most skin cleansersbreak out my face. The only stuff that I can use is Apricot Scrub on the mass market and I can't use that too much either! I will defintely have to try this recipe at home!! Thanks!!

I squirt a little liuqid cleanser in my hand. sprinkle about 1 TB baking soda on top. Stir up with your finger until it's all dissolved.
I use this same method w/ shampoo for my hair.

I to have very sensitive skin, many things totally dry mine out. I think its the baby oil that helps keep it from doing this. I know its only as sensitive as you make it, because you can control how much of what ever you put in it. When I use this I don't even have to rinse my face after using it, it really is gentle. I just use the dollar store brands of oil and baby wash for it, I find the ones I like the scent of and use them. So far its been really good for my skin and I haven't had any problems, but I do use the smaller amounts of the wash in mine.

does anyone have a good cleanser thats hm for blemish prone skin?

Esmgeier,
I haven't tried this but it is suppose to be good for blemish phone skin. It is gentle and good for the skin and is one that "most" people don't have allergy problems with.
Mix plain old oatmeal with enough water to make a paste. Spread it on the face and let it dry. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to dry, then gently wash it off with warm water. Rinse in temped water to close the pores and tap dry. This is suppose to be very gentle and good for the skin.

I also run on to this;
http://www.acneteam.com/homemade-facial-cleanser.html
It has a bunch of homemade cleansers and all kinds of "kitchen" made things to help with the skin.

Hope these help, I love making my own and I plan on trying them too.
