Silk Naturals

I made a mixture in the foamer bottle of about 25% cleanser and 75% water. The cleanser is a bit drying on my skin, and I am oily. I tried adding more water, which does help a little. I was wondering if I could add any liquid glycerin to the mixture so its more gentle? Also, is there any other ingredient I could add for this purpose?

I dilute mine about 10% cleanser/90% filtered water and find it still takes off my mineral sunscreen and any makeup I wear. My skin is crazy sensitive and dry and I don't have problems. I'm not 100% but I think you can add to it. I have another bottle w/ lactic acid. The Kiss Cleanser also makes a gentle body wash, for me more gentle than baby wash.

It might be worth a try, but the cleansing ingredient that is in KISS Cleanser is extremely gentle. I usually dilute my cleanser where you started, cleanse and rinse well. And then hydrate with a serum or Pore Refining Toner after cleansing. If you try it, start with a small amount and be sure to rinse well.

I mix the KISS Cleanser with water in the foaming bottle at a ratio of about 30% cleanser and 70% water. That gives a lovely rich foam which is very effective but still gentle on the skin. I did try adding just a few drops of tea tree oil to the mix in the foaming bottle but it didn't work: it failed to foam as much and I believe the oils stopped the mechanism working as well. I had to ditch that bottle and get another one in the end. However, the actual cleanser was fine mixed with a little tea tree oil, although to be honest, it didn't need the extra 'kick' of cleansing power, it did fine on it's own.
