I am looking for a DIY facial oil for nighttime use for combination skin without acne. The desired properties are gentle exfoliation, making the skin smooth and bouncy, and quick absorption. Could you suggest a formula?

Answer

Hello, I understand that you are looking for a homemade facial oil for nighttime use for combination skin without acne, which provides gentle exfoliation, makes skin smooth and bouncy, and absorbs quickly.

As the staff mentioned earlier, for combination skin, it's important to choose suitable oils carefully to avoid increasing oiliness in some areas while still providing moisture to dry areas. Lightweight and fast-absorbing oils are more suitable for combination skin.

For an ingredient that provides gentle daily exfoliation without causing irritation like typical retinoids, I recommend Pure-Bakuchiol™. This is a natural extract with properties similar to retinol but is gentler. It helps stimulate collagen production and skin cell turnover, resulting in smoother and more elastic skin.

For a fast-absorbing oil base suitable for combination skin, I suggest using Fractionated Coconut Oil or Marula Oil. Both are lightweight oils that absorb well into the skin, are non-greasy, and help nourish the skin to be soft and moisturized.

Suggested Formula (DIY):

  • Pure-Bakuchiol™ 1%
  • Fractionated Coconut Oil or Marula Oil (or a mix of both) for the remaining amount to reach 100%

Instructions:
Simply mix Pure-Bakuchiol™ with your chosen base oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil or Marula Oil). Stir well until combined. You will get a facial oil that can be applied at night.

This facial oil formula will help:

  • Gently exfoliate: With Pure-Bakuchiol™, making the skin smoother.
  • Nourish for soft and bouncy skin: The base oil helps keep the skin moisturized, elastic.
  • Absorb quickly: Using lightweight oils ensures a non-greasy feel.

Feel free to experiment with the ratio of the base oils to achieve your preferred texture.
