For so long, facial moisturizer remained an elusive component of my skincare regimen. I was able to concoct DIYs for the many other products I make and use daily: face wash, facial oil, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand soap, even body wash. The concept of making lotion just seemed so out of my grasp. Until now! Finally, a DIY facial moisturizer recipe that I can get behind (that doesn’t contain coconut oil)!

What you need

  • DIY facial moisturizer recipe
Shop the supplies

Aloe vera gel

  • Soothes, hydrates and nourishes the skin
  • Helps regenerate new skin tissue
  • Antioxidant properties helps skin heal

Grapeseed oil

  • Great for use with most skin types
  • Easily absorbs into the skin without being too heavy
  • Can reduce the appearance of spots and scars, and is rich in vitamins

Olive oil

  • Penetrates deep into the skin and provides hydration
  • Rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals
  • Helps to restore skin elasticity

Candelilla wax

  • Natural vegetable wax extracted from the Candelilla plant
  • Helps to emulsify the water based aloe vera and the oils, which wouldn’t typically mix together
  • You can substitute beeswax here, but double to amount to 1 tablespoon

Roman chamomile essential oil

  • Soothing and calming to the skin
  • Is my favorite fragrance ⏤ smells so good!
  • If you don’t have roman chamomile, feel free to substitute your favorite essential oil here. Or leave it out completely if you dare!

How to make

  1. Add 1.5 tsp of Candelilla wax to a heat-safe mixing bowl
  2. Next, add 2 tbsp each of Grapeseed oil and Olive oil
  3. Place the mixing bowl into a pot filled half-way with water
  4. Turn heat to low and allow mixture to completely melt.
  5. Once the mixture is completely melted, remove from heat
  6. Slowly, add 1/3 cup of aloe vera gel in increments
  7. Use your hand mixer to whip to a light fluffy consistency
  8. Now, add 10 drops of essential oils and use your hand mixer to combine
  9. Transfer to your air-tight container
  10. All done!

Ways to use

  • Use as you would any other facial moisturizer, a little goes along way so you don’t need alot!
  • I keep a small amount of this out for daily use and refrigerate the rest to optimize its shelf life
