Looking to nourish your skin and banish blemishes? This hydrating face serum is perfect!
There was once a time when I wouldn’t have considered putting oil on my face. After all, what did I wash my face for every morning if not to strip off the oil that was already there.
But I didn’t know then that excess washing could cause your oil glands to go into overdrive, or that there was a difference between a dirty, oily face, and the purposeful use of nourishing oils to hydrate, your face.
It all started a few years ago when I realized that I needed to exfoliate my face just as much as I did my feet, and made a baking soda face wash, whose main ingredients are – you guessed it – baking soda and coconut oil.
that face wash did wonders for the softness of my skin, and I eventually realized that it was less the scrubbing – thought that is necessary from time to time – and more the oils and the nutrients they carry.
And that’s where this hydrating face serum comes in.
This little bottle of homemade serum is a treat for your skin, hydrating it, reducing the appearance of blemishes, providing nutrients that help fight age, and the list goes on.
You’d be hard pressed to find a soothing, hydrating face serum of this quality, with ingredients this natural at a store, for an affordable price.
While buying entire bottles of frankincense, ylang-ylang, and lavender essential oils is quite an investment, you will use them in many, many recipes, and they will last a long time – only a small amount goes into they face serum.
Note: The most affordable way to get started with quality essential oils is through buying a premium starter kit, which you can read about here.
Now, let’s make that hydrating face serum!
