DIY Vegetable Glycerin Face Moisturizer for Oily/Acne Prone Skin

Learn how to make a DIY vegetable glycerin face moisturizer for oily/acne prone skin types!

If you’ve got oily or acne prone skin, I totally understand why you’d fear applying oil/butter based moisturizers on your face. Most of them clog your pores up and leave you looking greasy. Not to mention, they can lead to breakouts!

There are some water-based face moisturizers out there in the market, but of course they come with a slew of other unnecessary chemical ingredients. These added ingredients end up drying your face. And this makes your skin go into an overdrive producing more oils which end up making you a Grease Face. Ugh.

Not to worry though, you can DIY your own water-based face moisturizer, which is sure to keep your skin moisturized without drying it up! Welcome this DIY vegetable glycerin face moisturizer!

Beauty Benefits of Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin has lots to offer for beautiful skin. Here are just some of its beauty benefits for skin care:

  • Balances oily skin
  • Is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
  • Seals moisture into dry skin
  • Prevents acne breakouts
  • Cools down inflamed and red skin
  • And more!

Note: I’ve used argan oil in this recipe and it’s important for moisturizing. Don’t worry about it being an oil. It’s non comedogenic (doesn’t clog pores) so it won’t affect oily/acne prone skin! 🙂

    Quick question ? I am trying to add glycerin to my serum. And was wondering about the ratio??
    I keep finding that glycerin should be 1:10 (9%) of the whole serum.
    In yours it’s 29%. That is quite a lot. How does this feel on your face? Does it help with oily skin?
    I have very oily skin by the way

      hey julia, i have dry acne prone skin. using just a pea-sized amount on damp skin works. maybe reduce the amount of glycerin if you know that’ll work for you?
