homemade night cream - #19806

Ishaan

I am super frustrated and honestly kinda lost right now. Was trying to make a homemade night cream because my skin has been so dry lately, like, it feels tight and flaky? I just thought why not, I’ve seen all these recipes online for homemade night cream and they looked pretty simple. So, following a YouTube video, I mixed some coconut oil, shea butter, and a bit of essential oils. It was supposed to be a game changer, right? I put it on last night and woke up feeling kinda greasy, but now I notice I'm breaking out in areas I never used to. Is that normal after trying a homemade night cream? Should I wait it out or change something in the mix? Maybe I used too much coconut oil? Ugh, it’s just so frustrating because I wanted it to help my skin, not make it worse. Has anyone else tried a homemade night cream like this? How did yours turn out? Did you have any weird side effects too? I'm hoping to get some advice before I end up needing a dermatologist or something! Any tips on what I could do differently for a homemade night cream?
