I’ve been using Baby Oil for the longest time but it always feels so – uck – on my skin. I tried using straight argon oil but I’m going through the bottle SO fast. This sounds like a great combo and I’m looking forward to trying it out. (I have about six tabs open right now and all are your blog from the morning routine to the eye serum) I’m so happy I found your blog. As soon as I hit submit I’m going to Pin this one, too. Thanks again

@Harsha Hi there and welcome! I'm so glad you like my 'lil blog! Yes, you absolutely can use the body oil as a facial moisturizer. It's just about preference, skin type and what you prefer. I often use olive oil for this purpose, but as Julia said, jojoba is good too. Check out this post I did on Oil Cleansing your face, maybe it can help. It works on all skin types and complexsions. (Oh, and I have combo skin too, and lotions make me break out so I feel your pain!) Thanks for commenting!

Awesome. Jojoba it is then. I am trying to make this for myself and my toddler boys. I have combination skin but lotions doesn’t seem to work for me. I tried body oil and I love the fact that it is simple to apply yet feels better than using a lotion. I guess I’ll try applying jojoba to all three of us. Thx a bunch for such a quick reply.

@Harsha
My favorite face oil is jojoba oil. It’s wonderful and light. I’ve used grape seed oil a well but I always go back to jojoba. I think it also depends on the needs of your face

Hello,
I have tumbled upon your site while googling for body oils and now it is in my favorite bookmarks I am going to make this at home but have a quick question. Can we not use body oil for face as a moisturizer? I am trying to search and see oil only used as cleanser for face but I might be missing something. Is there a different recipe for face oil or should we not use oil for face at all?

You say that the pores are open after you take a bath. Does it matter if you use hot or cold water in the shower?
