To confirm, I have oily skin so I don't really need moisturizer I guess, however I do use Indian Earth Healing Clay on my face and I badly need moisture replenished after this. Does anyone have any recipes I can use?

I have combo skin, and have found that a dab of plain, unrefined shea butter works nicely after you've warmed it up on the 3 big fingers on each hand (not pinky or thumb). Shea butter isn't very expensive, and lasts forever if you only use it for this purpose. I take a small pea-sized amount, and press it between the 6 fingers, and mush it to soften it, then press it into my forehead, cheeks, chin areas, and make sure your skin or fingers are moist. It's a light moisture, and doesn't leave you all greasy. If you feel greasy during the day, just blot w/ a regular cheapy napkin you'd get from a restaurant, or whatever.
If you can cough up the expense, I use a spray "tonic" that is a light moisture that lasts all day, and would be happy to tell you what it is if you're interested. It's not "cheap", but it is organic and it lasts a long time (at least 3 months for about $20).

You can probably put jojoba or apricot oil (apricot is more lightweight) with some distilled water and make a moisturizing facial spritzer from that. Add some lavender essential oil to keep your complexion nice and fresh (it's good for your skin and keeps acne away) and add some pretty scent.

Do you know how much oil to how much water? I'm afraid of putting too much in and wasting it because it's too greasy lol.

Lot of people use straight up apricot oil because it soaks in skin so fast...you can try like 1 teaspoon for every 2 cups water and see if that works. Just guessing here.
