This is the recipe I use for an excellent moisturizer. I am not giving amounts, I put together this recipe after about a week of research I did on the web about the best "food" for our face, and reading the ingredients of very expensive moisturizers.
Jopoba Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
E Oil
Aloe Vera
Hyaluronic Acid.
If it needs to be thickened, use beeswax.
The hyaluronic acid is the most important ingredient. I have only found it on eBay. It isn't cheap, but then when you consider that most moisturizers you buy with this ingredient is extremely expensive, it is comparatively cheap.
I make a big batch of this that I keep tightly sealed in the freezer to be sure the oils stay sweet, taking out a small supply at a time.
It is best to clean, even oily skin with oil. Castor Oil is best, it dissolves dirt and gets deeply into pores better than any other oil. It is too thick to use, so needs to be thinned with EVOO (olive) oil. You can use other oils such as jojoba or grapeseed. Half castor oil and half other oil is good, but the more your skin has a problem like acne, oily, or very dry, the more Castor oil is needed. Wipe it off with water as hot as you can manage.
This needs to be finished with a toner made of equal parts of apple cider vinegar (natural is best), distilled water, and green tea to neutralize the vinegar odor. The acid in the vinegar does wonders for your skin.
