DIY facial oil moisturizer
There is the myth that our skin doesn’t need oil. In fact, after a lot of research, it is proven that our skin needs the oil, and it actually absorbs it better than any other cream or lotion.
After applying the face lotion based on oil, you will feel your skin smoother, nourished, and balanced. The skin needs the oil to maintain the balance, or else it quickly goes dry.
If you think of making your own facial oil moisturizer try the following recipe:
Ingredients
- Argan oil (rich in Vitamin E, carotenes, and fatty acids)
- Frankincense essential oil
- Lavender essential oil
Step by Step Guide
- Add the essential oils to a dropper bottle
- Fill the dropper bottle with argan oil
- Screw the lid of the bottle
- Shake it well
- Store it in a cool and dry place.
It is definitely easier than you think; all you need is the correct quality ingredients, and your moisturizer is ready for your skin or even for selling.
Of course, you can replace those oils with others. Try whatever is more suitable for your skin type. You can use almond oil, apricot seed oil, avocado oil, or jojoba oil in place of the argan oil. You can even go with a combination of those. For example, jojoba oil is perfect for oily or combination skin.
A glass container is always better for storing your facial oil moisturizer. Try two to three drops of the mixture each day, and you will be surprised with your skin.
