DIY Hair Oil Recipe
Try my unique blend of oils to massage into your scalp and hair as a pre-shampoo treatment, or a more nourishing overnight treatment. For best results, and minimal waste, wash the oil out of your hair with an Argan Oil shampoo bar.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons argan oil (base oil)
5 drops rosemary essential oil (growth and nourishment)
5 drops lavender essential oil (hydration and soothing)
3 drops tea tree essential oil (scalp care)
Instructions
Mix Ingredients:
In a small glass bottle (preferably dark to protect the oils), combine the argan oil with your chosen essential oils and shake the bottle gently to mix them together.
Application:
For the scalp: Use a dropper to apply a few drops directly to the scalp. Massage gently to stimulate circulation.
For hair strands: Warm a small amount in your hands and smooth it through the lengths and ends of your hair.
Leave-In or Wash-Out:
Use it as a leave-in treatment for dry hair or as a pre-shampoo treatment by leaving it on for 30 minutes before washing.
Pre-Blow Dry Treatment:
Rub a couple of drops into the palms of your hands and apply to the wet ends of your hair to protect them from the heat from your hairdryer.
DIY Non Greasy Face Oil
Having spent a fortune on organic skincare products over the years, I decided to experiment by making my own natural face oil using ingredients that can be bought easily and cheaply.
Here is my simple and effective DIY face oil recipe combining rosehip oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil. I have discovered that this blend is ideal for nourishing, hydrating, and brightening the skin while maintaining a light, non-greasy feel for daytime use.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon rosehip oil (promotes skin regeneration, brightens)
1 tablespoon jojoba oil (balances sebum, moisturizes)
5 drops vitamin E oil (antioxidant, repairs skin)
1-2 drops Rosemary oil (acne, blemishes, soothing, regulates sebum, ageing).
Instructions
Prepare a Clean Bottle:
Use a small glass dropper bottle (preferably amber or dark to protect the oils from light).
Sterilize the bottle by rinsing it with hot water and letting it air dry completely.
Mix the Oils:
Add the rosehip oil and jojoba oil to the bottle.
Carefully add the vitamin E oil and any optional essential oils.
Combine:
Secure the dropper or cap on the bottle and shake gently to mix the oils thoroughly.
Store Properly:
Store the face oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness and potency.
Benefits of this Blend
Rosehip Oil:
Rich in vitamins A and C, it promotes collagen production and reduces scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Jojoba Oil:
Mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping balance oil production and keeping the skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Vitamin E Oil:
Protects against free radicals, boosts skin healing, and provides deep hydration.
Enjoy making and using you face oil and let me know in the comments how it worked for you. 🙂
