How to Make Your Own Unique DIY Facial Oil Easily at Home
It’s common for people to avoid facial oils because they don’t like them or because they have oily skin, but I encourage you to reconsider! I used to think the same as well, but most of the moisturizing skincare products you’re already using contain oil.
By going directly to the source, you’re cutting out all the bad stuff in your products that you don’t actually need. The great thing about making your own DIY facial oil is that you can adjust the recipe as needed with products you know you like.
So, if you’re ready to convert, keep reading and I’ll show you how to make face oil at home right now!
Tools and materials:
- Grapeseed oil
- Vitamin E oil
- Jojoba oil
- Carrot seed oil
- Black seed oil
- Blue tansy essential oil
- Sandalwood essential oil
- Roman chamomile essential oil
- Helichrysum essential oil
- Dark glass dropper bottle
- Mini funnel
1. Prepare a dropper bottle
Open up your dark glass dropper bottle. This bottle will be the container for the facial oil we’re going to make. It has a dropper top for easy application, and its dark glass helps its content retain the ingredients’ respective, effective properties.
2. Add ingredients to the bottle
You don’t need to use every single ingredient that I used. I’m a bit of an essential oil fanatic if you haven’t already guessed, so I used oils I already knew would be beneficial for my skin.
Everyone’s skin is different, so feel free to customize the ingredient list to fit your skin type and address any concerns you may have.
Add 5 drops of each:
Carrot seed oil
Carrot seed oil contains natural SPF and helps to repair sun spots, lighten scars, and dark spots. It's packed with essential vitamins.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is suitable for all skin types as it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It also has antibacterial properties that can heal scars and minimize fine lines.
Black seed oil
Black seed oil can help with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It’s also rich in fatty acids that can help to remove dark spots and reveal radiant, youthful skin.
Vitamin E oil
Vitamin E is high in antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. It heals scars and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots.
Helichrysum oil
Helichrysum reduces the appearance of blemishes and promotes a glowing complexion. Additionally, it has restorative and rejuvenation properties.
Blue tansy oil
Blue tansy oil reduces the appearance of blemishes and soothes skin irritation. It also supports healthy skin and contains a natural blue hue.
Sandalwood oil
The Hawaiian sandalwood oil reduces the appearance of skin imperfections and promotes healthy-looking, smooth skin.
Roman chamomile oil
Roman chamomile is soothing and calming to the skin and smells amazing!
3. Add funnel
Add a funnel small enough to fit in the bottle.
4. Add grapeseed oil
Grapeseed oil is great for acne-prone skin and it easily absorbs into your skin. It can also reduce the appearance of spots and scars and is rich in vitamins.
Fill up the rest of the bottle with grapeseed oil by pouring it into the funnel, give it a shake, and then you’re done!
DIY facial oil tutorial
Here’s my finished version. This DIY facial oil with essential oils is as easy to use as it is to make. All you have to do is apply 3-4 drops to freshly-washed hands and rub it together in your hands to distribute.
Apply to your skin after washing and drying by lightly patting it. Store the bottle out of direct sunlight and it will keep for up to six months. Let me know if you try this out and how it works for you!
