When you feel that your skin is a bit flaky and not as smooth as usual, then you know its time to switch up your beauty regime.
This is good because skin is a living organ and can sometimes get used to certain products. The seasons change and so should your skin care as well.
This post is all about a simple mixture that can helps to add moisture to your skin during these times. My skin is combination type and it works for me in my personal routine.
This blend uses three oils:
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Rosehip Oil
- Rose Absolute Essential Oil
First Oil
Sweet Almond Oil is my base oil of choice but you can also choose from:
Argan Oil: Great for all skin types including acne prone,
Grape seed oil: Great for normal, oily, acne prone skin
Jojoba Oil: Great for all skin types
There are several others that you can select so feel free to do more research for your skin type.
This oil should make up two thirds of your mixture in whichever bottle you are using.
Second Oil
This oil carries extra weight as it costs a bit more and brings with it an extra punch of awesomeness to your skin.
You can skip this, if you wish but why deny yourself the extra luxury!
My oil of choice here is Rosehip Oil. Love it!
Rosehip Oil: It brings a boost of regenerating, firming and anti ageing properties to the blend.
Carrot Seed Oil: Superb and Awesome for any skin type. My second favorite booster oil.
Sea Buckthorn Oil: Power packed nourishment for ageing and dry skin.
Fill your bottle with one of these or similar of your choice. If using Carrot Seed Oil, you will only need a few drops of that power oil.
Third Oil
Next choose an essential oil of your choice or rather of your skin's choice.
The list is endless and I'm sure you know many of them already.
Lavender Oil for its healing qualities
Rose Absolute which is very expensive but worth it. You might find cheaper ones mixed with another oil at a lower price. You will be able to use a greater quantity of this type. Read your labels and check your supplier.
Rosemary oil: Great for acne and oily skin
Rose Geranium is another one of choice for ageing skin.
Add up to 7 drops of this oil to your mixture. Check your quantities according to the size of your bottle
Shake your bottle well and leave to stand for a few hours so that it all blends together.
Awesome Tips
Make up small mixtures that would last a week so that you can assess your skin's response and not waste these quality oils. You can have fun seeing which combination your skin loves for this season. Then you can make up a bigger batch to last a month but not more than that.
The smell of the oil should not be too pungent and if you find that it is you can add more base oil to dilute.
Always, of course use this on clean skin.
I have to say that I have found this mixture amazing for my skin.
If I need to pack some extra moisture overnight or on weekends, I use coconut oil or olive oil as an extra layer over this.
My skin says YES, YES, YES.
