Homemade face moisturizer recipes, like this one for an anti-aging face moisturizer, are a great way to look fabulous and live frugal.
Today, there’s a lot of emphasis on opting for all natural and organic foods to feed your family. We’re all very concerned about what we’re putting in our bodies… which is great, but shouldn’t we also be concerned about what we’re putting on our bodies?
It seems counterproductive to spend a lot of time filling your stomach with all natural ingredients only to slather your skin with man-made chemicals. At least to me. That’s why I’ve been trying a variety of recipes for all natural bath and beauty products, like homemade face moisturizer recipes and face mask recipes.
This natural homemade face moisturizer has only 4 ingredients, none of which are unpronounceable or potentially harmful chemicals. You can use this homemade moisturizer for face, décolletage, and your neck without fear of your skin becoming irritated.
In fact, homemade face moisturizer recipes like this one actually sooth and protect your skin. For example, the coconut oil in this natural homemade face moisturizer contains vitamin E and important fatty acids, is extremely hydrating, and has anti-fungal properties. All of that in just one ingredient! This homemade face moisturizer’s other ingredients include Argan oil which also contains vitamin E and fatty acids as well as antioxidant properties.
In addition to being safe for sensitive skin, homemade face moisturizer recipes like this one (with so few ingredients) are inexpensive, quick, and easy to make. Perfect for the busy mom on a budget, right? Honestly, homemade face moisturizer recipes don’t get much easier than this. You just melt the coconut oil, mix all the ingredients together, and let this natural homemade face moisturizer do its thing!

Do you have a substitute for frankincense oil?
I have stress related seizures and am unable to use it.Reply
Hi Kelli,
I love the benefits of Argan oil when it comes to anti-aging, so I’ll be trying this recipe. I like making DIY skincare recipes and this recipe of yours is an addition to my recipe (hehe). Thanks!
