Simple Homemade 3-Ingredient Facial Oil Moisturizer – Customize It For Your Own Gorgeous Skin

"Crunchy rule: Never, ever use facial oil or moisturizer on a dirty face. Always cleanse in some way first – whether it’s with cleansing grains, honey, the oil cleansing method (though you may not even need moisturizer if you do that), or your favorite prepared facial cleanser. If you put oil or moisturizer on top of a dirty face, you’ll just help seal in all that dirt and grime and old, nasty oil, which will make your face decidedly UNHAPPY....
Ingredient Number One – Your “Base” or “Carrier” Oil
In all actuality, you might want to just buy a base oil to begin with and test it with your face. See if your skin loves the base oil you choose, 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 going to be the main ingredient in your facial oil blend, so choose well...
Here are the base oils you could choose from (this is not an exhaustive list, but it’s most of ‘em):

  • Argan oil (great for dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin)
  • Jojoba oil (great for dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin)
  • Apricot kernel oil (great 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 (great for normal, oily, or acne-prone skin)
  • Avocado oil (great for dry and aging skin)
  • Hemp seed oil (great for any skin type, also very light)

Plan on your base oil being at least 2/3 of your facial oil mixture (we’ll talk about mixing at the end).
