Why this worksFace oils help to lock in moisture and create a barrier against environmental stressors. By using natural oils, you can deliver essential fatty acids and vitamins directly to your skin, promoting a healthy glow. This is especially important in September when the air can strip moisture away.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Oil Start with a carrier oil as your base. Options like sweet almond oil or jojoba oil are great choices due to their lightweight and hydrating properties. Measure out about 30ml of your chosen base oil.
  2. Add Essential Oils Incorporate a few drops of essential oils for added benefits. Lavender for calming, or tea tree for a fresh feel, are popular options. Just a few drops (around 5-10) will enhance your blend without overwhelming it.
  3. Mix and Bottle Combine all ingredients in a small dropper bottle. Shake gently to mix well. This ensures that all oils are blended evenly for a smooth application.
  4. Patch Test the Oil Before applying all over your face, do a patch test on your wrist to check for any irritation. If there’s no reaction after 24 hours, it’s safe to use on your face.

Where people go wrong

A common mistake is using too many essential oils, which can irritate the skin. Also, skipping the patch test can lead to unexpected reactions. Always ensure your bottle is clean to avoid contamination.

The pro moveConsider adding a few drops of vitamin E oil for extra antioxidant benefits and to extend shelf life.
