How To DIY Your Own Fall Moisturizer With Essential Oils

Fall is knocking on the door, and soon enough, the temperature will decrease drastically. Not that this fresh newness in weather isn’t welcome, we have had our dose of warm, sunny days. But let’s face it, the brisk air in fall usually brings not-so-fun changes to the skin—namely dryness, tightness, dull complexion, and irritations. 

This transition in season and weather calls for some adjustments in your skincare regime. Especially the moisturizers, because your skin would be needing them more often now. And to make that switch, what can be a better option than a simple homemade fall moisturizer with essential oils?

Why? Because your skin deserves better than chemicals!

Without further ado, let's get started and introduce you to 5 amazing fall moisturizer recipes with essential oils:
