How to Make Homemade Face Creams That Aren't Thick

Use oil from a coconut to make face cream.

Don't waste money buying expensive over-the-counter face creams. Make your own coconut cream using natural ingredients. It's an easy process that can be done in your own home. This homemade cream is thin in texture and not greasy. Once you make it, if it is too thick for your liking, add more oil to give the cream more of a milky consistency.
