Hazelnut Cleansing Oil Recipe
Even oily skin will love this DIY cleanser from Glow: The Nutritional Approach to Naturally Gorgeous Skin.
Yield: 4 ounces
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 ounce dropper bottle
Materials
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 2 teaspoons hazelnut oil
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 6 drops lavender essential oil
- 6 drops tea tree essential oil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a 4-ounce dropper bottle, put the cap on, and give it a good shake to blend everything together.
- To use: Pour roughly 1–2 teaspoons of the oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and gently pat the oil into dry skin.
- Massage the skin for 30 seconds to dissolve dirt and oil, focusing on areas that are acne-prone, dry, or covered in makeup. If you have acne, lay a warm washcloth over breakouts for 1–2 minutes to open pores and encourage the oil to sink into the skin.
- Use a warm, damp washcloth to gently wipe the oil away and pat with a dry towel.
Notes
If you have dry skin or find this mixture too drying, dilute it by adding more avocado oil. Reduce the amount of hazelnut oil in the next batch.
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, swap the avocado oil for grapeseed or pumpkin seed oil.
