Real Foodie Rach

Give your skin the glow it deserves! This simple 3-Ingredient Face Oil is pure magic in a bottle- deeply nourishing, soothing, and radiance-boosting all at once. Made with jojoba oil for balance, rosehip seed oil for renewal, and a few drops of frankincense essential oil for a luxurious, calming touch, it’s the kind of skincare ritual that makes you feel grounded and glowing from the very first use.

Beautiful skin doesn’t have to be complicated- just clean, intentional, and made with love.

The ingredients for this face oil can be found online or at most U.S. health food stores. I like ordering ingredients from Mountain Rose Herbs, but feel free to use whatever brands you’re comfortable with and can easily source.

The most important thing is that the carrier oils are fresh. Rosehip seed oil in particular tends to go rancid quickly, so always store any extra in the fridge to prolong its shelf life.

Using amber glass bottles to store your oil also helps keep it fresh. Amber glass blocks UV light and a portion of visible light, helping to slow the light-induced oxidation process. This helps keep your oils potent and fresher for longer!

Lastly, heat is also a factor, so be sure to store your oil in a cool, dark place if possible to extend its shelf life.

Why These Ingredients Work So Well

When it comes to glowing, healthy skin, simple really is best. Each ingredient in this 3-Ingredient Face Oil was chosen for its ability to nourish, protect, and bring your skin back into balance- naturally.

🌿 Jojoba Oil

This golden oil is a skin-loving multitasker! It closely mimics your skin’s natural barrier, helping to balance oil production while keeping dryness and flakiness at bay. Naturally antibacterial and rich in antioxidants, jojoba soothes irritation and supports a clear, calm complexion.

🌹 Rosehip Seed Oil

Known as “nature’s retinol,” rosehip seed oil is packed with vitamins A, C, and E to brighten, firm, and rejuvenate your skin. It promotes healthy collagen production, encourages gentle cell turnover, and can even help soothe sensitive skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

⚱️ Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense is a time-honored beauty secret for a reason- it’s deeply anti-inflammatory, promotes cell regeneration, and helps tighten and tone the skin. With consistent use, it may visibly smooth fine lines and bring a youthful, luminous glow.

When making this face oil, use a 1% dilution of frankincense essential oil to carrier oil. This equates to six drops of frankincense essential oil for every one ounce of carrier oil. I go slightly lighter than this, using just five drops per one ounce of carrier oil. If you are more sensitive, try 2-3 drops to see how your skin reacts first.

Always do a patch test to see how your skin reacts before using a new product.

If you are sensitive to essential oils, feel free to reduce or omit the frankincense essential oil in this recipe- it will still be a wonderfully effective face oil.

3-Ingredient Face Oil How-to

Making this 3-Ingredient Face Oil couldn’t be easier!

You will need:

• 2/3 oz (.66 oz) jojoba oil
• 1/3 oz (.33 oz) rosehip seed oil
• 5 drops frankincense essential oil
• 1 oz glass dropper bottle, clean
• small funnel (optional)

Step 1:

Fill your clean dropper bottle 2/3 of the way with jojoba oil, using a small funnel if needed.

Step 2:

Fill the remaining third of the bottle with rosehip seed oil, leaving some room at the top so it doesn’t overflow when you cap it.

Step 3:

Remove funnel if using and add five drops of frankincense essential oil.

Step 4:

Securely screw on the dropper lid, then gently turn the bottle upside down and back to right side up several times to help the oils blend together.

That’s it- you now have a beautiful face oil you can use or gift! Store in a cool, dark place and use within six months.

Pro tip: The best time to apply face oil is after showering or washing your face- your skin will more easily absorb the oil, and it helps to lock in moisture. Take this a step further by misting your face and neck with hydrosol before applying oil for an extra boost of hydration!
