Squalane and Agave Facial Oil Project
Squalane oil is well-known for its skin-loving properties. It's popular in luxury skincare because it has a lightweight consistency that absorbs quickly. We show you how to make your own recipe without the high price tag. Squalane oil is combined with grapeseed oil, vitamin e oil, and agave extract to create a recipe that's great for dry and combination skin.
Simply mix the skincare ingredients together and apply several drops of the oil on the skin - a little goes a long way. We like to use this facial oil at night, but those with extremely dry skin may benefit from using it in the morning as well. Lush succulent fragrance oil gives it a very light and green scent. If you have very sensitive skin or if you prefer to create a completely natural facial oil, skip the fragrance. You can also swap it for your favorite essential oil.
To package this oil, we used glass bottles from a local craft store. Other skincare bottles can be found here! They make great gifts.
