Does Homemade Face Wash Work Better Than Store-Bought?

Simone Kitchens

"My Spanish mother makes myface washes," said Marta Moria, a model we spotted in Soho this week. "It's nice because it doesn't have any chemicals in it and she uses essential oils. I know she uses rosa mosqueta (musk rose, a species of the flower) which is aromatherapeutic, but she keeps the recipe a secret."

In addition to homemadeface cleansers, she's a total believer in the powers offacial toner. "I've only been using it for the last few months, and I really like what it does to my skin." Check out the rest of her beauty essentials below.
