I hate washing my face

I am very good about washing my face in the shower in the morning, with a great cleanser, and taking care of my face.  When I am not showering, I hate washing my face.  I hate washcloths, I hate splashing water on my face, I hate the whole process.  But, as a woman, I know how important it is to wash off the day before going to bed.  I was delighted many years ago to find those pre moistened face wipes.  They have been my go to item for some time now.  I have tried many brands, and have my favorites, but it has always bothered me how much they cost.  I have tried to make myself use a wash cloth and cleanser, and I just don't do it.  I was excited many months ago to see a post come across Pinterest about making your own face wipes at home.  Again, it has taken me too long to actually create them, but I am out of the store bought kind and refused to buy more until I tried making my own. 

The post I read had instructions on using a full roll of paper towel and cutting it in half.  That just seemed too messy to me, and would really bother me to have uneven edges.  I thought of using these nice and soft hand towels instead.  I found them on sale for $2.50.  I will keep my eye out for the right container to hold them, but for now, my upcycled coffee container fit them just fine. 

Most of the store bought pre moistened wipes only come in 30 packs.  There are 60 of these towels so I am already at a savings. 

Two cups room temperature water that has been previously boiled.  Dissolve 1 - 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the water.  I decided to use a few drops of some essential oil, Serenity anyone? 

To get the towels wet enough I had to more than double the amount of liquid I made.  I used 5 cups of water and 5 tablespoons of coconut oil to get them properly moistened.  I think next time I will half the amount of coconut oil.  After testing my concoction I am pleased, but do feel that it is a tad bit oily.  They smell heavenly and I will see how they fair moistness wise throughout the next month or two.
