Baby oil is simply highly purified mineral oil. When blended with nutrient-rich botanicals, it makes an excellent base for home-made creams that cushion skin, seal in moisture and support natural collagen. Below are three easy formulations tailor-made for common concerns: deep dehydration, sun-induced dullness and early wrinkles. Each recipe keeps to everyday kitchen ingredients while packing real skin-loving benefits.1) Fenugreek Baby-Oil Collagen Cream (Deep Hydration)
