Ingredients
- Coconut Oil
- Young Living Essential Oil
- Container. You’ll also need a small container to put your face cream in. I had an old glass jar that I cleaned out and reused or you can purchase one.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Scoop about ¼ cup coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds, or until completely melted. Add 6-8 drops of essential oil to your melted coconut oil mixture and blend together. I chose Tea Tree oil because it is great for your skin. Other great essential oils for your skin include frankincense, ylang ylang, sandalwood, lavender essential oil, chamomile and more.
Step 2. Pour the mixture into the container. Set aside until it becomes a solid consistency again.

Just to say l have been making this receipe as make up cleanser and face cream for twenty years , I’ve been impressed with the way it leaves my skin feeling cleansed and soft. I will be honest and say it may be a little greasey if you use more than a pea size amount . Worth trying and a great saver of money .
Ridiculously easy!
Thanks for sharing as I wanted to find a simple facial moisture, which I did.
I’m sorry this might sound dumb, but I’ve heard that coconut oil helps treat hair loss and helps to regrow it. I’ve tried coconut oil on my face, and it seemed to have made the peach fuzz on my face grow. I’m not sure if it were coincidence or what. Please let me know your input on this. Thank you so very much.
Jackie – If you have a reaction to coconut oil, I would use jojoba oil instead. Thank you.
Can you use plastic containers for this face lotion?
Yes you can. I generally prefer glass with essential oils but plastic works great too.
For how Many days i Can save it? And thank youuu so much
This will last up to 6 months – Thank you!
Do you have any suggestions for travel size containers for this recipe? I’ve been using this for a while and I’d love to keep it in my purse. But summer is coming and that heat will melt the coconut oil, and I haven’t been able to find a container that it won’t seep through. Please help!
How can I keep the coconut and tea tree oil from getting hard, after it solidifies,like a candle. Not very easy to use?
