Homemade Facial Oil Moisturizer

Never, ever use facial oil or moisturizer on a dirty face. Always cleanse in some way.

 Your “Base” or “Carrier” Oil
In all practicality, you might want to just buy a base oil,

to begin with and try it with your face. See if your skin loves the base oil you pick, and then you can build on that. And, in even further actuality, just one ingredient may be all you ever want.
Your base oil is the main component in your facial oil mixture, so choose well.
My two favorite base oils are argan oil and/or jojoba oil because they’re both very healing and healthful, they’re great for all skin types.
Here are some of the base oils you could choose from
· Argan oil (For dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin)
· Jojoba oil (For dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin)
· Apricot kernel oil (For any skin type, but especially good for normal, dry, and aging skin)
· Sweet almond oil (just an all-around great facial oil, but it takes a bit longer to “sink in” than the first two)
· Grapeseed oil (For normal, oily, or acne-prone skin)
· Avocado oil (For dry and aging skin)
· Hemp seed oil (For any skin type)
Plan on your base oil being at least 2/3 of your facial oil
Extra Nourishing Bonus Oils
These are the oils that are a little more expensive, but very useful.
So here are some ideas for the more nourishing “bonus” oils:
· Tamanu oil (For acneic or oily skin, or skin with scars)
· Sea buckthorn oil (For all skin types)
· Rosehip seed oil (For dry, aging, and normal skin)
· Carrot seed oil (you only need a small amount of this oil, but it’s excellent for any skin type)
· Borage oil (For most skin types, but particularly oily and acneic skin)
· Evening primrose oil (acne, aging, normal skin, can even be taken internally to help with acne)
· Emu oil (For dry or aging skin)

Add Your Skin’s Favorite Essential Oil


Remember! You only need a couple of drops of essential oil to get an astonishing advantage for your skin.
· Lavender (acne, oily, or even dry skin )
· Peppermint ( For oily and acneic skin, and like lavender don’t use much!
· Chamomile (my favorite chamomile is Roman – and roman chamomile is wonderfully healing and soothing, so it’s great for ALL skin types. Really. Very, very great, but also very expensive)
· Rose (wonderful for aging, dry and normal skin, it’s also pretty expensive, unless you find the “mixed with jojoba” kind, which just means it’s diluted and you can use more in your blend than if it were “neat”)
· Rose geranium (another great, all-around healing essential oil – this is especially good for dry, sensitive, aging, and normal skin)
· Palmarosa ( It’s great for any skin type)
· Lemongrass (brightening and toning, this is a great oil for normal, oily, or acneic skin)
· Rosemary (got acne and oily skin? You might just want this)
Okay, quickly, here’s how you mix ’em.

Creating Your Custom Homemade Facial Oil

This is where the fun starts. You get to experiment with what type of blend works best for your skin, but here’s the BEST place to start.
We’re going to assume you’re using a 1-oz bottle (for essential oil purposes), but if you use a smaller bottle, be sure to adjust your essential oil additions downward as necessary.
1. Fill your small bottle just under 2/3 of the way with your base oil
2. Add your “bonus nourishing” oil until the bottle is just about full (unless you’re using carrot seed oil, in which case just put in  a few drops)
3. Add ONLY 4-7 drops of essential oil. Less if you’re using peppermint, especially. Cap and shake well after each drop, and you can gauge, very roughly, just how much essential oil you’ll need. You should be able to smell it, but it should not be overpowering. Just faintly identifiable.

And that’s it!
Keep your facial oil out of the sunlight, and it should be good for 8-12 months.
