Exsquisite Skin Serum

I often get asked for this recipe, and once you’ve made it you will understand. This skin serum is relatively inexpensive to make, your skin soaks it up, and the antioxidant power of both the carrier oil and the essential oils will support healthy, youthful, glowing skin. It may cost you a little up front to get the supplies, but you will be able to make multiple bottles up.

This recipe will give you enough Vitamin E oil and bottles to make up 8 bottles of skin serum. You can make this up for yourself to probably last a year or more, or give some away as gifts. Once I give them away, I literally have people asking me for the recipe or to “pretty please make me some more”. :)

The recipe is simple: Take a 1 oz dropper bottle. Add 2-3 drops each of Frankincense (or Elemi), Lavender, and Geranium. Fill the rest of the bottle with high antioxidant Vitamin E oil. Shake and use a dropper full all over your face and neck before bed and/or after a shower.

These three essential oils are skin nourishing and supporting, they reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and they firm up the skin. The Vitamin E oil provides antioxidants to support your skin.

SUPPLIES

Organic Vitamin E oil- 67,000 IU - HERE
Essential oils to add: Frankincense (or if you want a plant that has similar properties but is less expensive, try “Elemi”), Lavender, Geranium - These three are my basic serum that is WONDERFUL and most of the time I just go with this! I only use Young Living oils. - HERE (Note, only use this link if you don’t already have a Young Living account. And if you do use it, be sure to use the code “ShareYL” to get 10% off your order of 50pv/$50 or more.

OTHER OPTIONS:

-Cypress or Helichrysum (4-6 drops per 2 oz bottle) for those little veins that show up on our skin sometimes - spider veins, and for nerve pain (if you have any) on your skin.

-Sacred Frankincense (a variety that has much stronger components for anti-aging and skin repair).

-If you want to make bigger bottles of serum, you can go for 2 or 4 oz bottles. I have used these pink 2 oz bottles before: 4 2oz rose glass bottles (this is preference, you can get 2oz bottles in other colors)- HERE

I love these labels that Growing Healthy Homes has (HERE)! You download the template, print them off on an 8.5 x 11 glossy sticker paper (HERE), and cut them to wrap around your skin serum bottle. These make your gifts really special!
