DIY Face Oils Made Easy | Blue Tansy & Frankincense Recipes for Glowing Skin
When it comes to creating your own face oils, the carrier oil you choose is just as important as the essential oils you add. Carrier oils not only dilute essential oils for safe use, but they also bring their own unique skin benefits. Some are ultra-light and fast-absorbing, while others are more nourishing and dewy. Knowing their comedogenic rating (how likely they are to clog pores) helps you pick the right one for your skin type.
Here’s a look at four popular carrier oils for face oils ( jojoba, grapeseed, hemp seed, and rosehip) along with their comedogenic ratings, texture ranking, and two easy DIY face oil recipes. Here is DIY Face Oils Made Easy | Blue Tansy & Frankincense Recipes for Glowing Skin.
DIY Face Oils Made Easy | Blue Tansy & Frankincense Recipes for Glowing Skin
Comedogenic Ratings (0–5 scale)
- Jojoba Oil (Rating 2): Balances sebum production, softens skin, and supports the skin barrier. Its wax ester structure mimics the skin’s natural oils, making it ideal for most skin types.
- Grapeseed Oil (Rating 1): Lightweight and rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin E and linoleic acid. Helps tighten pores, balance oily skin, and reduce acne breakouts.
- Hemp Seed Oil (Rating 0): Non-comedogenic, rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and deeply soothing for inflammation, redness, and acne-prone skin.
- Rosehip Oil (Rating 1): High in vitamins A and C for brightening and evening skin tone. Promotes collagen production and reduces the look of fine lines and dark spots.
Ranked from Lightest to Heaviest Texture
- Grapeseed Oil – very light and almost dry to the touch
- Hemp Seed Oil – light, absorbs quickly without residue
- Jojoba Oil – silky, medium-light, mimics natural sebum
- Rosehip Oil – medium, more nourishing, leaves a dewy finish
