If you have your own nail care recipe,
Why use Face serums as opposed to face creams.
Both have their benefits. But the main reason why women avoid using oil on the face is the misconception that oil create more oil. And the fact that for years skin care companies have told us we need to remove oil from our faces. But oils protect our skin. Granted you don't want to take your vegetable cooking oil and slather it on your face. Below we'll discuss which carrier or base oils to use. Which essential oils can benefit the skin. And how to make your own face serum at home with simple instructions. You can also see our Face cream and Serum recipes section.
How to make homemade natural face serum
It's as simple as this.... First choose the correct carrier oil. Learn about carrier oil profiles so you know which is best for your skin type. You can also mix 1 or 2 or even 3 together. Next choose the essential oils you'll want to add to your face serum based upon what your skin needs. You can use one EO or use up to 5 EOs. And that's it!
What you'll need:
4 tablespoons your choice carrier oil or oils
30 drops your choice essential oil or oils. You can use up to 45 drops for a more intensive treatment.
A dark colored, glass dropper bottle. Can be found at any craft store
General conversions Blending Essential Oils
Size Conversions:
3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 tablespoon (tbs)
2 tablespoons (tbs) = 1 ounce (oz)
6 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 ounce (oz)
10 milliliter (ml) = 1/3 oz. or 2 teaspoons.
15 milliliter (ml) = 1/2 oz.
30 milliliter (ml) = 1 oz. or 2 tablespoons
10 milliliter (ml) = approximately 300 drops
Direction to make your homemade natural facial serum:
- Place half your carrier oil in the bottle
- Next, add the essential oils.
- Then add the rest of your carrier oil
- Shake or roll the bottle for 2 minutes.
- Some people let their serum sit for 24 hours for the oils to mix. This is optional.
- Store your bottle in a cool dark place. Depending on if you used any oils that have high anti-oxidant levels, which keep the shelf life longer, oils can generally be stored for up to 6 months. If the serum begins to smell bad, it's gone rancid and discard.
