The information provided in this video is not meant to diagnose or treat any skincare conditions. I am NOT a professional, just a girl solving my skincare concerns naturally. This is my personal skincare regimen.
Please Remember...
~Essential oils MUST be diluted in a carrier oil. NEVER use "neat" on the skin.
~These are highly concentrated plant oils and can cause HARM if not used properly.
~Some essential oils are NOT safe to use if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor first!
~Consult your doctor/dermatologist before starting an oil care regimen.
~Doing a PATCH TEST before using a new oil is recommended. ALLERGIC REACTIONS can occur. (i.e. I'm allergic to castor oil, it causes me to break out in poison oak like hives).
Essential Oils and Skin Types:
I've listed several oils below, categorized by skin type/concern. As you can see, there are many to choose from but keep it simple, I typically use 1-3 essential oils blended in a carrier oil.

Yes, using natural oils is the way to go!!! My skin used to be a mess. Between the super dry areas and the super oily areas I didn't know which to address. I used to go for facials on a quarterly basis and now I haven't needed a facial in over two years. I started to make my own soap and I use that to wash my face because its very gentle. The oil cleansing method didn't work for me. However, I use a combo of jojoba & rice bran oil (rice bran because of its natural UV protection) and mix it with lavender and chamomile essential oils. I use that morning and night as a moisturizer. My skin has never felt or looked better. Thanks for the tutorial and getting the word out!
Christine, I can't thank you enough! I'm 50 years old and I too have spent a ton of money on my skin. If you could recommend a natural skincare regime for mature skin I would be so grateful. I really want to love and take care of my skin naturally. I love your videos! Keep up the good work! Take care and God bless. Tina
I agree!! Lemon and raw honey make an awesome skin brightener and spot lightener! Add a little sugar and it's an amazing exfoliator.
So glad you liked it! I've tested kukui oil mostly on my body and I must say it's a freaking fantastic oil for getting and maintaining gorgeous skin. It has a lightweight texture but it's rich, nourishing and seems to leave a protective barrier on the skin. xoxo
Hey there,
I know you probably won't read this but I need to thank you for how much your skincare journey has helped me. I have been blessed with flawless skin up until 6 months ago when my forehead started breaking out under the skin with no redness.I spend hundreds of dollars on expensive skin care only to see my skin get worse. I have been at my wits end unable to work out why. I have just been diagnosed with coeliac disease, and with the help of your recipes my skin is on the mend!
I know the feeling well. The best way to start, is to take baby steps, change only one item in your skincare regimen at a time. I started by incorporating an acne/scar fighting oil blend, (rosehip seed, tea tree, lavender). After testing it for several weeks and being thrilled with the results, I was okay to move forward and take another little step. Also be sure to ask your dermatologist about incorporating a natural oil. They may or may not want to help but it never hurts to ask. :)
I went out to a Whole Foods store near me and picked up Rosehip oil, Lavender, Tea Trea oil, and Grapeseed oil. I've mixed them all together like you've said and I have been using it as a moisturizer on my skin also! I can't believe I'd ever do something like this, just as you said, but so far I am happy with how my skin is feeling and I am glad you shared this with us because I would have never known any of this and its simple benefits without you!
I totally enjoy watching and listening to you. I have watched many many videos in my time on How to make-up skin care routines or DIY videos ect...and the girls take so long to get to the nitty gritty..ugh. You don't u get to the point and u are not full of yourself and u are genuine. I am so happy for u that u found the right skin care for your chemistry. I also use oils and make & mix them ..I LOVE essential Oils and Facial Oils. tysm
I am so with you Christine...natural is best...and I love the ritual of it all too. It is so relaxing and enjoyable. I have been concerned about all the accumulation of chemicals I was putting on my skin and body for a long time (as well as in cosmetics)...women are particularly vulnerable and people forget skin absorbs everything!! Great vids xx
i never used to wash my makeup off (and i wear a lot of makeup most days!) until i switched to an all natural skin care routine and now i am OBSESSED with washing my face lol, i am up to 15 different carrier oils now that i use on my skin i just LOVE buying new ones it is my addiction! lol.. I remove makeup with oil,i exfoiliate once a week with himalayan pink salt, tone with bragg apple cider vinegar, moisturize with one of my many carrier oils, and than as a makeup primer i use pure aloe vera gel straight from the plant, right over my oil, and than to set all my makeup i use a rosewater or rose hydrosol (which is basically the same thing) and i LOVE it , now i just need to switch over to a natural makeup line but that is going to take some time!
where do you bu your himalayan pink salt? i am dying to try it.
Mountainroseherbs.com that's where I get all my carrier oils and aloe vera as well I LOOVE them and they are very trustworthy and organic down to the packaging they ship your stuff in!
Alicia Marinelli ^^ forgot to tag ur name in that ..they have a few different pink salts just type in the specifics in their search link
Alicia Marinelli its cheap at Costco!
Maren Kritz what are some of your fave carrier oils? Have you ventured into essential oils yet? I would love to know :)
Oh yes great question! There are many essential oils and carrier oils that fade age spots and sun spots. Rosehip seed oil is touted as one of the best. I did try castor oil earlier in the year but unfortunately I'm allergic to it, it makes me get a poison oak type reaction. Weird I know lol. But I've heard a lot of people like it for oil cleansing and eyelash growth. xoxo
I picked up a few from my local health food store, they're very inexpensive, only $1-2 each. But I also recycle oil bottles that I finish. For example, the small pump bottle that now has my P.M. oil cleanser, was an Aura Cacia rosehip seed oil bottle.
THANK YOU for this video and referral link to Vitacost! You are so lovely and an inspiration to live a healthy and minimalist lifestyle. Your beauty and health tutorials along with the spectacular tours of Maui are so entertaining. Your husband and 2 piggies are just adorable too! Please keep the videos coming. Aloha and Mahalo!!!!
You're very welcome! I'm happy to help with everyones skin types! I do use oils on my body as well, I'll have to do a natural body care video for getting glowing gorgeous skin! xoxo
I love your routine. I also use very natural stuff on my skin. I got tired of putting toxic chemicals on my body and knew that nature could do better for way less money. I find that the oils I buy last so long and they are very high quality as I buy from Mountain Rose Herbs. And a lot of the essential oils have many uses. We could all benefit from learning to make our own healthy products instead of stuffing the pockets of corporations that don't care about our health. Keep up the great work!
Oh Christine! Why must you continue to spoil us?! This is an amazing video! You took so much time in doing research, filming and putting this together. I'm just so grateful and appreciative of your passion for going as natural as possible and the wonderful tips you pass along to us. Thank you, truly! Hugs :D
I absolutely love natural skincare. I think it works much better than any usual creams. I have dry, sensitive skin and since i began to use oils my skin has become normal. I absolutely love peach kernel oil that is also great for eye area ( it is not heavy for this area), it moisturizes and firm your skin, purifies pores, and makes your skin beautiful day by day. Clean your skin and then apply some oil for a night. And I also like grape seed oil. Both oils can be used as make up remover.
in addition to the question on facial wipes, i was wondering how soon should i see my dry flakey skin improve using the oil method. i purchased a few different oils to try but i wanted to make sure i gave an oil enough time to heal me before i decide it's not working for me. thanks again for this wonderful change you have made in my life. i'm so glad i found you.
I've been getting into natural/organic a lot and when you mentioned you had suffered from cystic acne and saw your gorgeous skin, it gives me hope.. I suffer from it and will be starting the "poison" aka accutane in february because I've tried (I swear) everything.. I like the fact that that you had it only because I feel what you post will help/work. I'm hitting subscribe when I'm done my post :)
Thank you!! You are exactly right and I couldn't agree more! I have never ever heard basic natural oils be referred to as luxuries. They're the least expensive, most simplistic skincare products I've ever found lol.
I couldn't agree more!! Companies are brilliant in their marketing tactics and fancy luxurious packaging. It would be bad for business if people found out the truth, that none of their expensive skincare is needed... and people have been using pure ingredients from the earth and enjoying healthy beautiful skin since the beginning of time. ;)
Great info, Thank you for this series. I really like using the sweet almond oil as a moisturizer. The weekly green clay mask is helping also. Please continue this series as planned (clay masks, steam facials, vitamin c serum, exfoliators). You have done the research for me and you explain everything so clearly. Really enjoying this series!!!!
I really admire your search and journey to do this. I think I'm gonna jump on board with you! Your skin looks amazing and I bet all these oil smells are just wonderful!
I have been looking for someone on CZcams who only uses natural skin care like me... Finally I've found you !!! Great vids
That's certainly possible, oils are best used in the tiniest amounts. The type of oil you use can also make a huge difference. For example, I tried castor oil earlier this year and broke out in poison oak like hives. Not fun lol. A lot of people love castor oil but it's just not meant for my skin. I almost gave up on natural skincare, thankfully I kept searching and was rewarded with a ton of other amazing oils that my skin loves.
Love it and please do the other videos! It's definitely interesting and also a better option than all the chemicals in the store bought skincare. I'd definitely try to use the oils at night. I think a lot of us rush through the skincare in the morning is because we don't have time. We have to go to school or work and beat out the traffic.
Love your videos! Another tip for those with dry skin (like me) is to make a glycerine spray, I use a 1 part vegetable glycerine to 3 parts distilled water but you may need to play with the ratio for your skin. I find that when I spray that on my face first and then add my oils they penetrate much better and seem more effective.
This is thee most helpful skincare video I have seen. I gave natural skincare another chance after watching this a few months ago. I've been using EVOO to remove my makeup & grapeseed oil to moisturize along with a few other things, long story short my skin is FINALLY under control and clearing up. Thanks for this vid!! : )
I also have been using oils on my face for the past few months and have noticed a tremendous improvement. It is much brighter and the tone is more even. I purchased the Rosehip seed oil from Pai Skincare....it is so luxurious!!
Do it! I started about 6 weeks ago and it's amazing. I can already see a difference.
Sure! That's something I'm currently working on and will do my best to post a video soon. :)
Or you can just put the hard coconut oil on your fingers and it instantly liquifies. I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and I live in a place where the oil is only liquid during the summer. So all other times of the year, I sit my oil in some warm water to liquify it and pour it into a smaller container (travel shampoo bottle) and just squirt it out as necessary and wipe away the oil with a damp cotton pad.
Hope this helps!
I have dry skin and also use the oil cleansing method. I use coconut oil combined with vitamin E oil, and for toner I use a combo of witch hazel and rose water. Then to moisturize I switch around between a combination of different oils such as jojoba oil, argan oil, rose hip oil and coconut oil. My skin seems to respond well to this routine. Once a week I'll add some sugar to an oil for an exfoliating scrub.
I enjoy reading about the oils along with many other natural remedies in my spare time. It starts with researching and cross referencing each oil through books and the internet. Then testing begins on my skin, and trial and error in recipes. ;D
I have stumbled on this video by coincidence...I have to say I have exactly the same experience with oils as Christine...My skin has dramatically improved ( I have very very sensitive skin!), the results are just impressive! You must test the essential oils first to check there are no reactions and carfefully choose those for your skin. I recommend you do extensive reading upfront to better understand how this works. But then...enjoy and watch your skin just improve in short period of time!!
Thank you Christine for this informative video. I really love all of your videos and I can not wait for your next upload. You are so easy to watch and your voice is soothing and pleasant. However, what I love most is your philosophy in life which is quite opposite from anything else we find on You Tube, especially regarding beauty themes. I definitely will try natural oils. Thank you so much and keep on the great work.
Tea tree oil is amazing! Argan oil too, talk about an excellent multipurpose oil, it's wonderful for nourishing your hair, skin and nails. xoxo
this has to be the most fascinating skin care video I've seen. I've also been quite unsatisfied with my skin care routines lately, you have definitely done a lot of research. Btw, I would love to see the the clay mask and steaming videos you mentioned at the end.
I also have oil skin and I've try a lot of products but they work for a short time... I started to use your skincare rutine and I see progress (4 weeks already). Thanks for the tips. you are such a lovely person. Greetings from Belgium.
I have been on the oil cleansing method about the same time as you and I have loved it. I also picked up an idea to use the microfiber rags and they are wonderful. You need to give them a try too. They seem to pull more of the make-up and oil off. I get the ones you find for your kitchen. They seem to be thicker. Hope you give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear!! Steams and masks coming up next. xoxo
I have been using tea tree/lavender with almond oil carrier cleansing mixture with a lavender/rose/geranium (same carrier) moisturizer-for several months now..I've had a NOTABLE change. My kids (4 daughters) all say I look 'glowing'..lol. My skin has cleared dramatically. I will say, Im addicted to the foam. While cleansing, I use a few drops of Cetaphil with my oil cleansing tincture..but its very minimal. The change is unbelievable. I cant thank you enuff. I stumbled on your vids...:)
Thanks! I use Devita Solar protective moisturizer SPF 30 for face and Devita Solar Body Block for body. It's all natural and available at health food stores but it's much cheaper at Vitacost online. :)
Me too, Christine. I love my skincare routine. I love making masks, having facial steams, using oils for removing makeup. I also have oily/combo skin. Make more videos on natural face masks. Thank you!
no wonder u look so amazing sticking to such a great routine...!
WOW! I've never heard of a complete oil skin care regimen. The video was great! Thanks!
i just discovered your videos and im so glad i did! love all this organic and natural skincare
Your skin looks beautiful and I'm glad you have found a system that works for you!
I do, mostly for my hair but it's wonderful for the skin too!
Aww that is the sweetest compliment, thank you so much Deb! ((Huge hugs))
i love your videos! i switched my skincare after watching one of your videos. i love the thayer's alcohol free toner it makes my skin feel so fresh. my skin is so much more hydrated and balanced now. and i live in northern canada so i need some serious hydration considering we get snow and freezing temperature for 8 months of the year. Yay for glowing skin!
Rosehip oil on active acne breakouts is controversial. Rosehip oil never irritated my acne at all. But I personally recommend it more for the treatment of post acne scarring, anti-aging, softening fine lines/wrinkles,etc... as it stimulates skin cell regeneration. But there are better oils to use in the treatment of active acne.
Try to use peach kernel oil. it works great for eye area. You can use it as a make up remover or apply for a night after cleaning your skin. it is not heavy for this area, it smoothes and firms skin. This oil is also fine for dry, sensitive skin and can be used as a night cream.
That's awesome! Yeah, my skin is much more balanced since switching to oils.
Great video! I fell in love with oils years ago, I was also too afraid of oils touching my face because my skin is the same as yours. The oils have actually help regulate the oils in my skin, so now I don't get as oily throughout the day. It sounds unbelievable but so true. I haven't made my own concoction of oils yet (I get the Nude Skin Care one) but you're inspiring me to do my own. Thank you Christine :)
Oleum ricinum is similar to sebum in our skin so you fight oil with oil and it dissolves nicely giving clean, clear and glowy skin. Good for removing make up as well. Remove like Christine does in the video.
I suggest lavender oil. It was the first oil I used. I would just put in on at night before I slept & within a week, my face was completely clear, when previously it had had a few pimples & an extreme amount of redness & scarring. I still have the scars, but lavender oil took care of the rest. There was an initial purging process, but they were just tiny whiteheads that would go away within a day. I also like to use grapefruit oil in the mornings to combat oiliness in my skin. Good luck!
No no, I love to read all the comments, I appreciate them very much! That's wonderful to hear your skin is healing!! Remember to take it slow, consult with your doctor regarding which oils are safe for you, and if you experience any irritation discontinue use of that oil or ingredient. xoxo
Your videos are so helpful! Look forward to more my skin is so blackhead prone I find myself getting so frustrated with standard skincare products because they do nothing!
I finally figured out who you remind me of: Agnetha Falkstog - the blond singer from ABBA. I really love this series Christine - keep'em coming!
Thank you! I'll keep you updated once I get my vitamin C serum formulated just right. :)
I was in the store and I was searching for your blog and reading what oils were good for what types of skin when I was choosing and everything! :) I am so happy I get to try this out too!
Thank you for sharing this information! Will def try this. Yes please please do a video on clay masks, steam facials, vitamin c serum, exfoliators. You have gorgeous skin, and such lovely nails :)
Love these videos. Keep them coming. over the past year i have been transitioning to natural skincare as well. i like your ideas and will have to try some of them.
This is great. Thanks so much. I have dry skin but I'm going to try this routine anyway. I really want to go natural. Also, I have 2 friends with similar skin types/issues that you have and they were thrilled when I forwarded this video to them. Well done!
It's all in researching and cross referencing though books and the internet. Each oil has different properties (i.e. anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, etc...) and once you learn the properties, you have a good idea of how it could remedy certain skin conditions. I could go on, but not enough space here lol. I'll be posting more videos and on my blog regularly about oils and many other natural skincare treatments.
Hi! I tend to use olive oil for my scrubs and on the body but only because it's a thicker oil and I prefer lighter oils on my face. But I know many people do use it on their face without any pore clogging issues, so I would think using a small amount in a mask would work just fine. :)
I love these new series that you are doing now!
I've read about using coconut oil for deodorant and even mixing in an essential oil, such as tea tree to kill bacteria but I've also read coconut oil can leave stains on your tops. I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure if it's true. But I can certainly see how using oils under your arms could transfer to clothing. Any transfer would be a bad thing, because you'd be left with the appearance of sweat spots on your top all day, just the thing we want to avoid lol. I may do an underarm care video! :)
wow! an education. Spending a fortune.... may use up my stuff and go your route!!! Thank you.
So happy that you found the right products for your skin and that this is far less expensive! I was just wondering why you use cotton pads, personally I find them a little irritating for the skin so I just pour my serum or toner directly in the palm of my hands, rub them a few seconds to warm the product, then gently apply on my face ans massage. This is less agressive, less expensive, and more "green". So the only tool I really use is a towel to pat my face dry after rinsing my cleansing oil ;)
I am an esthetician and this video makes me very happy!
as an esthetician do you know anything about electrolysis? I have really bad facial hair (espeically upper lip and chin) i'm looking to get it done but im scared bc i heard you can't wax or thread in between sessions. I did research online and it says to shave :( but my face will look like a man after he shaves. any ideas? lol sorry i just thought as an esthetician you would have some ideas. if not thats alright hahha
Girl you really can tell with out make up how the natural light reflects and shines like under your eyes cheeks it's amazing. i am in process of switching over to cruelty free body care:). I melt my coconut oil in hot water :)
I'm so happy to help! Thank you!
Part(3) she told me to use my fingers, and if what I applied did not sink in after 5 min use a clean kabuki very soft one and buff it in. I bought makeup and she pointed out at Fridays visit you go natural body and face and then put the makeup even though it says " natural' on. She saw your declutter videos and loved them she said your research on oils great, but sometime you can research to much and harm skin in long run.
I totally agree with you, your skin really has come a long way and so have you as a whole person. I love you videos you really are an inspiration to me. Awesome video thanks :)
i am so glad i found ur chanel so much information that i wanted to have as i have recently started going as natural as possible with skincare after loads of money wasted on high end brands. I am using castor & olive oil for oil cleansing and got many ideas for moisturizing from this video. Huge thanks xxx from italy
Oh, thank you so much for including the emu-removing via coconut oil, it really works the same way as common removers. Mine coconut oil is solid, now wonder here in Germany. I think half a teaspoon up to a hole teaspoon will last.
I Love watching your video's. You have inspired me to take better care of my skin. Even trying to grow my own nails instead of paying for them:) Also LOVE all your shabby chic ideas. I'm now in the process of repainting my family room and turning it into "my go to space" Using some of your tips and Ideas:) I always look foward to your video's Just wanted to say Thank You!!!
Thanks for sharing your skin routine and all the info behind it all! And yes, please do videos on the different skin treatments! :D
Thanks so much for this video! I've been looking into natural skincare for a couple of years now, and have been oil cleansing for about a year. I've got super sensitive skin like, even products labeled for sensitive skin irritated my skin. So I'm finding the natural stuff is best.
Yay! Just placed my first oil order on Vitacost ! I've been struggling with my skin since I had my daughter 3 years ago. I never had acne/milias until that happen and I've been on differin for months without any changes so I hope this works! I placed a big order but to be honest, with the amount of products Im getting it's NOTHING compared to high end and drugstore skin care products. If it ends up not working, oh well, I can always use those oils and essential oils for other things :)
This was so interesting! I would love to work this into my routine. I can't wait to see the mask and steam videos.
Thank you so much.. I have acne prone skin and have wasted so much money on store brand skin products. that i will be giving away now or bin them. I find your videos very helpful. I started on natural oil routine for my skin last week and I am loving it
yeay! havent even watched the video fully yet but already know i'll love it! made my first vita cost order the other day thanks to your videos :) Shalini xoxo
You've REALLY inspired me! I've already registered at Vitacost! Love these videos! Thank You soooo much! I also purchased Argan Oil too!

Try to use peach kernel oil or grape seed oil, they are absolutely fine for dry or sensitive skin, and aging skin. Just clean your face and apply one of upmentioned oils on to your face as a night cream. Better use for some time period, at least about month to see the result. Those oils really make our skin beautiful.
I love your natural skincare videos! I subscribed after watching. I was looking for more natural options thank you!
Today I started with the oil cleaning and moisturizer ....and it feels great and refreshing, I would've never try this on my own, so I thank you for sharing this with us :D
Thank you!! Sure, more tutorials coming soon. :)
Christine I have just discovered your channel and I am so ecstatic! I totally am on the same page with you! HUGE thank you for all the great videos your post!!!!! I forward them to all my friends!
I just started watching your videos recently, and am now subscribed. I think you are so absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing these awesome tips and recipes with us😊
I'm excited to see this video as I love my natural skin care, but I feel like I'm the only one and haven't been to a dermatologist to "confirm" that what I use is good enough.
I started using natural skincare about a month ago, and my skin has been so much better!!1
Sure I can explain further. But first, are you familiar with either essential oils or carrier oils? If not, I definitely recommend getting to know more about them before usage. Essential oils are volatile and extremely potent plant oils that are too strong to use directly on the skin alone, otherwise known as "neat." They must be diluted or blended with a carrier oil (i.e. jojoba, grapeseed, avocado, tamanu, rosehip seed, etc...) which are gentle and not volatile. More info on my blog. :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your skincare videos. I just bought a few essential oils and carrier oils on vitacost after watching some of your videos. I have a very similar skin type and am so excited to be able to control exactly what is going on my face and to start a natural skincare regimen of my own! Thank you so much and please keep them coming! =D
Thank you so much I like this video I don't know when I am looking for oils skincare on my face!!! This video is perfect! I found you and I loved your videos amazing !:) thank you again.Good luck!
I find anything with apple cider vinegar put on my face makes it red and leaves it red for the rest of the day, and I don't even have sensitive skin. Just something people might want to keep in mind, when you try a bunch of new things it is sometimes hard to know what might be leaving the skin red for the rest of the day for example. enjoyed your video!
right???i too find it so pampering ad relaxing!!!
Oils vary in price, Some I purchase at my local health food store but I prefer buying from Vitacost online, their prices are so much better.
