Course: DIY Beauty
Cuisine: Beauty
Keyword: essential oils, facial oil
Yield: 1 oz
Author: Deborah Harju
Cost: $6

Equipment

  • 1-ounce glass jar (dark glass will help protect the integrity of the oils)

Materials

  • 1 ounce carrier oil
  • 3–6 drops essential oil

Instructions

  • For every ounce of carrier oil, add 3–6 drops of essential oil. If you're feeling adventurous, you can use 2–3 carrier oils that address different skin needs. Carrier oils can be mixed with equal parts in the same jar.
  • Store your facial oil in a cool, dry place such as the refrigerator, and use it within 6 months.

Notes

If using more than one essential oil, make sure you only use 6 drops EO per 1 ounce total carrier oil. 
Whenever trying a new essential oil on your skin, make sure to do a test patch first on the inside of your wrist.
