I would like to try making my own facial oil with my favourite oils, but there are about 8 that I would like to include! Is it best to stick to just two or three? How many oils do you use in your own recipes?

I normally stick to 4, 5 at the most, but if you find 8 that you want to mix together go for it. I mix a hair oil that has 8 or more, and it works great for me. I also don't always put equal parts of each oil. I will mix it up a bit depending on which oil it is.
Thanks for the replies, I will need to decide on the final mix and then do some research on the quantities I will need! I'm glad that 8 is not considered too much, so many lovely oils out there!
i have about 3-4 oils i want to try together but do you put these on at night or during the day? I would think at night so youre not so oily going to work etc...Do you keep them on or wash them off after 30 min or so? Thanks
I always apply my oils to damp skin (I use a hydrosol spritzer). I use at morning and night. The application of oils to damp skin helps the oils absorb into the skin more quickly.
I'm a big fan of the more is more approach to life! I just made one that has pretty much some of every oil I own, somewhere around 12 with a few drops of sandalwood E/O to top it off. Turned out amazing!

Hi
It depends

Some of my products have only a few oils, and some have 8-9 oils. For my own skin, sometimes I will use mixes of oils, other times I will use a single oil.

It depends on what oil it is, and also if it needs to be diluted or not (most can be used straight but there are a few that need to be used diluted).
I think as long as you are familiar with the minimum and maximum concentrations of each oil, you should be fine.
Cheers,
