My DIY Facial oil is my secret to clear, radiant skin. Scroll down for the full recipe! If you think you don’t like face oils or avoid them because you have oily skin, I encourage you to reconsider! It’s a common misconception to avoid oil on your face, and I thought the same in the past as well. But I encourage you to flip over the moisturizing skincare products you are currently using ⏤ they probably contain oil, so imho, we are cutting out the bad stuff here. I know you probably think the recipe is a bit extra, and you’re right! Sooo, feel free to adjust the recipe as needed.
