Oily or combination skin also needs hydration , although we often shy away from creams for fear of shine or breakouts. But there's a very simple way to care for this type of skin without overdoing it : with natural, lightweight creams that don't contain pore-clogging ingredients.
This time, we'll show you how to make a gentle, fresh, essential oil-free facial cream , also ideal for sensitive skin . It's an effective way to maintain hydration without leaving a greasy feeling or irritating ingredients.
🌿 What if creating your own cream was the best thing for your skin?
Making your own cosmetics at home not only eliminates single-use packaging and formulas with unnecessary ingredients, but it also gives you complete control over what you apply to your skin.
You can customize it to your actual needs, avoid substances you don't tolerate well, and discover and trust the pure power of natural ingredients.
Plus, if you store it in a reusable jar, your routine will be even more conscious and sustainable! ♻️
