Hello Michelle! V-6 oil and vegetable glycerin have different properties and might not react the same on the skin. We suggest that you test out a small patch on your face before applying to the entire face. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Have a great day!
Hello Rhonda! Try using our Essential Beauty Serum: https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/product/essential-beauty-serum-dry

Any concerns regarding possible negative reaction once out under the sun?
Hello Denise. That is a great question! The oils provided in this recipe are not labeled as photosensitive. However, if you use different oils, be sure to check the labels beforehand to make sure they are not photosensitive. Thanks so much for stopping by with your question.
My daughter likes a matte finished look. Does this spray give a matte or shiney appearance?
Hello Diana. It shouldn't make your skin overly shiny, but I wouldn't say it is a matte finish either. Much of how the spray will look throughout the day depends on the makeup type used and the skin type of the user. Hope that helps!
Would this help with powder makeup as well or just liquid foundation?
Hello Nina. It is meant to be used for both types of makeup. Hope that helps! Thanks!
I have combination skin! Ugh!!
I would prefer to make my own facial toner and makeup set must. What Young Living Essential Oils would be best for that and does anyone have a recipe to share...
Blessings!
Is this a 2oz or 4oz spray bottle?
Hi Lauren, You will want to use a 4 ounce spray bottle as there is more than 2 ounces of liquid going into it. Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds great! I'm going to try it.
I'm new to using oils and just starting to incorporate them into replacing some of my beauty products.. Not exactly sure what glycerin oil is. Can I use coconut oil? Is that the same or if not what is the difference?
Use 100% vegetable glycerin, available at health food stores and vitamin shops
Nope. Google vegetable gylercin oil. Grab it on Amazon!
Hello Cindy, We do not feel that straight coconut oil would work the same as glycerin. Most grocery stores do carry vegetable glycerin. We hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by!
I use patchouli, rosehip seed, chamomile, evening primrose oil, and witch hazel. Not everyone enjoys the smell of patchouli. I like the mist with or without makeup. It's great if you are having a dry, blotchy, big pore day.
I like green tea, rosehip seed, lavender, with evening primrose oil any other day. Green tea can be replaced with witch hazel if you notice issues with it soaking in, (it does, I just tend to over mist)
Aloe vera gel or liquid gel is amazing with any mist as well. Most liquid gels contain a large amount of water, so check your product
