Do you also love to treat yourself? Want to enjoy yourself and find your peace of mind after a long day of work or sports? That you give yourself a real wellness moment after which your face feels so nice and soft? You can easily make a facial oil that meets your needs and your skin.
Why is it better to make your own facial oil?
Due to the different care products we use, you get up to 500 different chemical ingredients every day unnoticed. We do this with the assumption that we are doing something good for ourselves, but it puts quite a strain on our bodies. To avoid this, it is better to make it yourself. This way you know exactly what’s in it.
What do you need?
First you need a base oil. You can use several types of oil for this, depending on your skin type. It is important that you choose a high-quality oil. Different oils you could use are:
- Argan oil,
- Jojoba oil,
- Apricot kernel oil and
- Hemp seed oil
When you have a suitable base oil, you can also add essential oils to give your base oil certain properties. But be careful with essential oils; these are highly concentrated plant extracts. To make a 5 ml bottle of oil, between 1 and 50 kilograms of leaves are needed. Because of this, you must dilute the essential oil and should only make up 1 to 5% of your mixture. Examples you can use:
- Lavender
