When your hair becomes dry and damaged from too much styling and over drying, you solve the problem by giving your locks a hot oil treatment. Soon your hair is soft and luxurious again. But what do you do when your face also has become dry and flaky either from cold winter winds or from too much exposure to the sun? Easy: You make a hot oil treatment for your face to re-moisturize and get back your healthy glow.
There is no need to go to a spa to get a hot oil treatment, or even to buy expensive facial oil at the drug store when you can make your own homemade facial oil simply and easily. All you need is 1 oz of avocado oil, 2 teaspoons of rosehip oil, 2 teaspoons of argan oil, 1 borage oil capsule, 1 vitamin E capsule, 2 drops of neroli oil and 3 drops of sandalwood oil.
Now all your need to do is mix the ingredients to make your facial hot oil treatment. In a small microwave safe bowl, begin by mixing the avocado oil, argan oil and rosehip oil together.
Then, cut open the vitamin E and borage oil capsules. Squeeze the oil out of the capsules into the bowl with the other oils. Mix all ingredients until they are combined well. If the vitamin E oil seems hard to mix in with the others don't worry. Once the mixture is warmed up in the microwave everything will be much easier to combine.
The last ingredients to add are the neroli oil and sandalwood oil.
Once all the ingredients are combined together, put the facial oil mixture into the microwave and heat it up for around twenty seconds. You want it to be warm but not hot enough to be painful on your face, and certainly not hot enough to burn you.
To apply the hot oil face treatment, all you have to do is slowly work a few drops of the oil mixture onto the dry areas on your face with your fingers. Make sure to wash your hands first though so you are not adding any extra dirt to your face.
This recipe makes enough homemade facial oil for around six to eight uses, depending on how dry your skin is. How often you use it depends on your skin type and how prone it is to drying out. Once you see how amazing this hot oil treatment makes your skin look and feel, you are going to want to use it all the time.
