Moisturiser for Acne Prone Skin
Apr
Creating a moisturizer for acne-prone skin involves using lightweight, non-comedogenic ingredients that won’t clog pores.
INSTRUCTIONS
Weigh out the distilled water and rose water in a heat-safe container.
Weigh the oils and emulsifier in a separate heat-safe container.
Heat both containers in a hot water bath until the emulsifier has melted. (You may also use double boiler inserts for heating the ingredients over the hot water.)
Combine the hot oils and waters while still hot, stirring until well combined. Ideally, both should be around 70º-75ºC/160º-170ºF when you combine them.
Periodically whisk the ingredients together while they cool. The mixture will thicken and become more opaque as it cools.
Once the mixture has cooled to around 30ºC/85ºF, add the preservative and, optionally, essential oils or other heat-sensitive ingredients. Mix together well to incorporate all of the ingredients.
You can add 10 drops of Tea tree essential oil and stir in once cooled.
