DIY Deluxe Facial Oil

May 9, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

DELUXE FACIAL  OIL

This deluxe facial oil may be used instead of a night cream or it may be applied under your moisturizer. Rich in oleic, linloleic and linolinec acids as well as a high concentration of vitamins A D & E This is an excellent facial oil for dehydrated skin types as well as mature skin. People often ask me why I look so young? It is because I use Facial Treatment Oils morning & night under my moisturiser. I always say “Don’t wait till you are older to use a mature range of skincare start in your twenties – prevent it ”

YOU WILL NEED

* 100ml glass bottle ( preferably amber to protect the precious essential oils from UV )

* 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil

* 1 Tablespoon Jojoba Oil

* 1 Tablespoon Rosehip Oil

* 3 drops Jasmine Essential  Oil

* 2 drops Sandalwood essential Oil

* 3 Drops Ylang ylang Essential Oil ( there are many types go for the  “complete” blend )

PROCEDURE

1 Add the carrier oils ( Avocado, Rosehip, Jojoba ) to a glass bottle using a funnel.

2. Add  the essential oils and shake well

3. Apply to face & neck massage gently for 5 minutes or so to improve circulation, skin function and skin tone. Use a relaxed circular motion

4. Let sit for 10 – 15 minutes then dab off any excess with a cotton pad – alternatively if you are like me leave it on I always leave my facial oil on so that my skin sucks up as much of the goodness as possible.

5. Shake well before each use

    Great recipe! I recommend adding vitamin E as an antioxidant (will extend the shelf life of the oils). Apricot kernel and argan oils are wonderful for aging faces.

    I want to try this, but wonder what is the shelf life of the various oils? It appears that “a little goes a long way”, so it will take a while to use the avocado, jojoba, etc oils.

    Should this be refrigerated? I have made it and use it 2x a day. I love it but am now seeing some brown residue in the dropper and bottle.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
