Luxury facial lotions are expensive and can actually clog your pores and leave you with blemishes and oily skin. If you suffer from naturally oily skin, you want a facial lotion that does not contain oil. Try making your own facial lotion at home with natural ingredients to avoid the harsh chemicals and heavy oils that are often found in store-bought lotions. A simple mix of natural ingredients will give you the moisture you need to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
