Homemade Facial Oils For Beauty Treatments On Oily Skin

Facial oils are great for part of any beauty treatment because oils and essentials oils can have some wonderful effects on the skin. Oils have been used for centuries in beauty treatments. Many essential oils will help to even out your skin.

Overactive sebaceous glands cause the skin to become oily. This can become a problem during puberty because of the hormonal changes in the body. Sebaceous glands to seborrhea but most of the time the problem occurs as oily patches which leave the skin shinning.

Ironically as it is this usually happens because the skin is being over cleaned from scrubbing the skin with cleansers, soaps and astringents that are harsh on the skin because of the alcohol content in these products.

Most of commercial lotions that are designed to degrease the skin actually cause the sebaceous glands to produce more fat to make up for the lack of it that occurs because of the lotions results. By using essential oils as part of your beauty treatment they will balance the skin out without causing the glands to produce more sebum and can provide the perfect solution for the oily skin.

Some good base oils to use on oily skin are Almond, Apricot Kennel, and Grape Seed and Hazelnut oil. Some good essential oils that you can also add to these base oils are Borage Seed, carrot and Evening Primrose oil. You should use 45 to 55 drops of essential oil to every 2 tablespoons of base oil for oily skin.

You should always use a glass bottle for storing your homemade facial beauty treatments with a screw on lid that is airtight to help keep the products fresh. It would be more helpful with keeping these products if the glass bottles are also dark in color like amber or cobalt because this will help keep the light out which will in turn help keep the product fresh.

These oils can be hard to blend together so you should always shake up the bottle a few times before each use to make sure that the oils are blended well before you use them. Remember, you should always test a small area of skin before you use a new product to make sure that you don't experience some type of allergic reaction to the product.
