Make It Yourself - A Super Easy Facial Oil

Make It Yourself - A Super Easy Facial Oil



I made this facial oil a while back and I really like how it turned out.  This facial oil provides  a great protection for my skin when I go for my daily walks in the sun. I want to make sure I use a good oil to protect my skin. I don't use any sunscreen since  "we eat our sunscreen",  but I want to make sure that keep my skin well hydrated.  I made enough so I could split half with my teenager. I added frankincense and palo santo which are both anti-tumoral for my son's facial tumor, and they will also be very beneficial for my aging skin as well. 

The oil 
8 tablespoons of unrefined grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil (you really need to add a little bit at a time to get it the way you want it)
2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel
1 capsule vitamin E
15 drops of lavender essential oil
15 drops Palo Santo essential oil
15 drops of Frankincense essential oil
15 drops of Cellfood ( I sometimes make the facial oil without the Cellfood)

I started off by adding aloe vera and the grapeseed and coconut oil to a glass bowl. I used a whisk to mix it well since the coconut oil was not liquid enough. I added the essential oils last and blended well. This oil didn't turn out as thick as I liked due to the kind of aloe vera gel I used. I bought it at the local health food store, and once I opened it I noticed it was a lot  runnier than I expected. When I noticed that it was fairly runny I decided to use less of it, but you can play around with the aloe vera gel to get the right thickness you want. 

When I make things I often make them as I go along.  I like to add some of the mixture on my arms to see if I like the consistency, and if I find it too greasy I add more aloe vera for example. You can experience with oils that fits your skin the best. Here are some guide lines: Oily skin, Aging and Mature Skin, Dry Skin, Combination Skin, and Sensitive Skin.

Here are the oils I used and why:

Frankincense
Frankincense rejuvenates aging skin by improving skin tone and returning dry and oily skin to normal, balanced state. It firms skin, promotes healing and fights inflammation.  Frankincense has cytophylactic properties. Cytophylactic means that the oils stimulate the generation of new cells, which will aid in preserving the health of the skin. These oils are also used for treatments of burns. It has traditionally been used for wrinkles and scars, so I use if for wrinkle prevention and my son for his huge facial scar from his surgery. 
Lavender
Lavender has traditionally been used for eczema, burns, acne, wounds, insect bites, minor cuts, and scrapes. It's anti-inflammatory and soothing properties have a balancing effect on the skin. It's cytophylactic, which means it encourage growth of skin cells, is ideal for mature skin and treatment of burns. 

Palo Santo
It has antitumoral properties and is antiseptic. It strengthens the immune system and is also used for acne and skin care.

Other ingredients I used:

Coconut oil
I used  more coconut than usual this time. According to some, it may prevent the skin from developing age spots. Coconut oil is probably one of the main reasons people in tropical climates can spend so much time in the sun and not suffer from skin cancer. Coconut oil has wonderful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage. Coconut oil is also anti-inflammatory. It may also help in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. It is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being antiviral, antibacterial and anti-fungal. It may help prevent wrinkles.

Cellfood
Cellfood is a proprietary cell oxygenating formula containing 78 trace minerals, 34 enzymes, and 17 amino acids. Provides extra ordinary nutrition. I use Cellfood as supplement and as an ingredient in my high oxygenating facial gel.

Grapeseed oil
Grapeseed oil is a light oil that is very suitable for the face. It also has mild astringent properties.

Aloe vera
Aloe vera is moisturizer and a softener. It is extremely healing for the skin.

Play around with what you have at home and make your own facial product. Try some of the product on your arms before you apply it to your face if you're not used to the essential oils. Make sure you are familiar with the dilution chart and safety page before you start. 

Before you leave:


I recommend that you always perform a skin patch test when you try a new oil.


Check out my safety page to make sure you are aware of any contrindications before you use essential oils. Some oils are not suitable when suffering from certain conditions. Also, Read this Before You Start Using Essential oils. Some oils should not be applied prior to sun exposure so make sure you check this list before spending time in the sun.

Not sure how to apply the oils? Visit these pages to learn how to apply the oils:

Why Top Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts Use this Celloxygenating Formula (Cellfood)- Why You Should Too..

Why Top Athletes and Fitness Enthusiasts Use this Celloxygenating Formula (Cellfood)- Why You Should Too..


My husband and I were introduced to Cellfood a couple of years ago. After reading information about Cellfood we decided to give it  a try. We realized that this is a very powerful product that is easy to use on the go.  I just add some drops to  water bottles in the morning, and I don't have to worry about how to get sufficient nutrients throughout the day.



So what is so great about Cellfood and why are top athletes around the world using it? Let's find out why professional athletes and health and fitness enthusiasts are using it. Oh, it is not just for active people, many with chronic conditions have reported improvement in health using Cellfood. Honestly, I think everyone should use it.  

Cellfood broshure:
"Cellfood provides significant benefits to help support enhanced athletic performance in all sports and physical activities." 


Cellfood is made from all-natural plant sources from clean seas and sea vegetation between New Zealand and Antarctica, and from fossilized plants and mineral springs. It contains 78 minerals, 34 enzymes, and 17 amino acids. It provides powerful electrolytes as well. For optimal performance in endurance sports the working muscles need oxygen, and Cellfood releases plenty of oxygen and hydrogen well needed. 

It is a legal substance that is all natural, and it is an  approved supplement for all level of athletic activity whether it is competition or fitness. None of the ingredients are banned in Olympic, International, collegiate or scholastic competition.


 Cellfood is added to water or other liquid. Once ingested it weakens the electron bonds of water molecules in the body, and this releases hydrogen and oxygen directly into the cells. The nutrients in Cellfood are in pure and bioavailable form that reach deep cellular levels.
As you can see, Cellfood oxygenates, deeply detoxifies and nourish the cells.

Cellfood's unique water splitting technology has three significant benefits that are worth mentioning:

  1. Released oxygen cleans cells, provides cellular energy around the clock, and stimulates cellular respiration.
  2. Released hydrogen repairs, solidifies, and builds vital tissue cells and the immune system.
  3. Free radicals are considered to be one of the major causes of aging and disease. Cellfood releases negatively charged oxygen molecules which will attract free radicals, they will join with them and form stabilized oxygen.
    A clinical study of athletes in both 18-30 and 31-50 proved that Cellfood will reduce antioxidant stress. The oxidative stress of the younger group reduced by 27% and the free radical level in the 31-50 group reduced by 10%. Exercises create free radical activity so the free radical activity is higher in elite athletes to begin with.


Different ways that Cellfood helps the body:

Cellfood supports:
  • enhance energy levels
  • breathing function
  • removal of lactic acid for better athletic performance
  • nutrient absorption
  • helps faster recovery from injury
  • free-radical removal
  • bacteria/parasite elimination
  • cellular oxygenation
  • decreased heart rate
  • blood cell + platelet increase
  • alertness and mental focus
  • immune system function
  • ph balance
  • increase brain functioning, alertness, concentration
  • provides electrolyte activity
  • sustains endurance and stamina

  • enhances digestion and overall metabolism


    As I mentioned earlier, I think everyone should take Cellfood. It is an amazing formula and it should be part of every natural health building program. Disease is a result of toxic overload and nutrient depletion, especially on a cellular level. As we've seen, Cellfood has the ability to neutralize free radicals, and provide nutrients on a cellular level.It's 129 nutrients provides food for building our cells. It is a product used by top athletes, people with health challenges, as well as being part of a preventative health building program.

    Cellfood is an easy and cost effective oxygen therapy, and it does not create free radicals. Some oxygen therapies and products tend to flood the body with oxygen, creating harmful free radicals. Cellfood uses the free radicals to create more stable oxygen instead.

         The nutrients in Cellfood:

    Released Oxygen

    Oxygen is vital to the healthy functioning of our body— it fuels all of its systems, fires its chemical reactions, and eliminates wastes and toxins. Cellfood enhances the critical bioavailability of oxygen to the body through its unique ability to 'dissociate' water molecules within the body— resulting in the release of abundant nascent oxygen, and hydrogen, directly to the cells.
