Foaming bottle question.

Post by Paula » Tue Apr 27, 2010 4:33 pm

I'm a bit concerned about diluting the kiss cleanser, Should I use destilled water or something to avoid bacteria? How do you guys do it? For now I just diluted a sample with regular tapwater since it's such a small amount, maybe I shouldnt fill it to the top anyhow.

I just use regular tap water. I fill the bottle to about 3/4 full with the mixture of cleanser and water, so that leaves room for the top to be put in. For the mixture itself, I used Karen's guide of about 30% cleanser to about 70% water. If you're unsure, try a tablespoon of cleanser and two or three tablespoons of water, until you get to a mix that you like. I find that gives a nice rich foam, but a little difference either way doesn't cause any problems.

I use regular tap water. If it is a concern for you, you can use distilled.

I also use tap water, I mean you wash your face with tap water right? It's not like bacteria would be that likely to grow in a solution with so much detergent in it.
