Yeah, I do, actually – I’m a homemade skincare-makin’ fool! I take it you’ve seen the basic recipe in the DIY thread? If not, here it is again:

Recipe for Homemade Decleor Ylang Ylang Aromessence Oil (holy grail product for controlling sebum production for those with super-oily skin): • 1 Oz. Kukui Nut Oil • 6 Drops Ylang Ylang Oil • 3 Drops Lavendar or Geranium Oil • 2 Drops Bay Leaf Oil • 1 Drop Rosemary Oil Mix it up in an Amber Glass Bottle and Make Sure to Shake it up Before Each Use! For those of you who have had luck with Decleor Ylang Ylang Aromessence, I have found this to be a great cheap replacement. You can substitute the Kukui Nut Oil with Hazelnut Oil If you like, but it must be refrigerated and made in very small batches as the shelf life is not very long. I chose Kukui Nut Oil to replace it for preservative purposes, and find it works just as well. If you are pregnant or breast feeding, do not use the Rosemary Oil...it can be toxic to babies. I replace Geranium Oil with Lavendar Oil in this recipe when I make it simply because I have it on hand, but geranium oil may be used in place of the lavendar for a product more similar to Decleor. Again, there are many other essential oils that are very good at helping to regulate sebum production, so don't forget to check out the essential oil guide at this link: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5922&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

That is the basic recipe for the Decleor version, but I admit that I do tinker around with it and substitute other essential oils and/or carrier oils to customize them especially for my personal skincare needs. For example, I’ll swap jojoba, macademia nut, or sweet almond oil (or a little of each) for the kukui oil called for in the “official” recipe and/or substitute lemon or orange EO for the Bay Leaf or Rosemary EO, just cuz I like the resulting aroma better!

If you have oily skin and acne, you could substitute Safflower, Sesame or Sunflower oil (or a little of all three) for the Kukui oil because those oils have anti-inflammatory qualities and don’t aggrevate acne. Then you can consult the list of which EOs work best for acne-prone skin – follow that link embedded up in the quote from the Decleor Y-Y Oil recipe to find a basic guide for essential oils and carrier oils and their use in skincare.

Just use the Decleor recipe as a basic guide, and then mess around with the different combinations of EOs and carrier oils until you find the magic combination for you!

HTH,
