DIY Face Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin: Cream & Oil-Based Recipes That Really Work

When it comes to acne-prone skin, hydration is key—but using the wrong kind of moisturizer can clog pores, cause flare-ups, or leave your skin greasy. At Kel’s Your Body & Mine, we believe in gentle, effective solutions that nourish your skin without harsh chemicals.

Below are two DIY face moisturizer recipes:

• A non-comedogenic face oil for those who prefer lightweight hydration

• A cream-based moisturizer for more balanced moisture and skin barrier support

Both recipes are made with ingredients known to calm inflammation, regulate sebum, and support clear, glowing skin.

🌿 DIY Oil-Based Moisturizer for Acne-Prone Skin (Non-Comedogenic)

Ingredients (for 30ml bottle):

• 15g Jojoba Oil (mimics skin’s natural sebum)

• 10g Grapeseed Oil (lightweight and anti-inflammatory)

• 3g Rosehip Seed Oil (rich in Vitamin A, great for acne scars)

• 1g Tea Tree Essential Oil (antibacterial)

• 1g Lavender Essential Oil (calms redness)

• Optional: 1g Vitamin E (natural antioxidant and skin softener)

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a clean amber glass dropper bottle.

2. Shake gently before each use.

3. Use 3–4 drops on damp skin after cleansing and toning.

✅ Why It Works:
This formula hydrates without clogging pores and includes acne-fighting ingredients like tea tree and rosehip oil.
