Make Your Own Face Moisturizer

Our skin, the body’s largest organ, reflects the internal imbalances we may experience. Acting as a protective barrier, it continuously shields us from external elements. However, everything we apply to our skin—from chemicals and artificial fragrances to parabens and other harmful substances—gets absorbed into our bodies.

By switching to natural, eco-friendly skincare products and eliminating unnecessary toxins, you can significantly improve your long-term health.

Essential oils, with their powerful antimicrobial, healing, hydrating, and balancing properties, are an excellent choice for homemade skincare.

Our DIY Natural Face Moisturizer is not only free of toxins but also allows you to enjoy the health and therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Plus, it's cost-effective, and you can customize it with essential oils that address your specific skin concerns.

Follow this simple recipe to create a natural face moisturizer that will leave your skin feeling hydrated, plump, and light.

What's My Skin Type?

Eager to create your own skincare but unsure of your skin type? We’re here to help you identify it!

Oily Skin Type: If your skin has excess oil, known as sebum, it may appear shiny or greasy. This oily skin type often leads to blackheads, clogged pores, pimples, or acne.

Combination Skin Type: Combination skin is exactly what it sounds like—a mix of oily, dry, or normal areas. Typically, your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) might be oily, while your cheeks are dry.

Dry Skin Type: Dry skin produces less sebum, making your skin feel tight, especially in the morning or throughout the day. A dull or rough complexion and more visible fine lines are common indicators of this skin type.

Sensitive Skin Type: Sensitive skin is prone to inflammation and may be affected by conditions like acne, rosacea, dermatitis, or eczema. It’s important to note that sensitive skin is different from sensitized skin, which can result from external factors or the use of harsh products.
