In the past, I have spent quite some time searching for the perfect serum, falling for many marketing tricks advertising their useless products. I've paid a lot money and most of the times have really been very disappointed, regretting falling for the marketing tricks, which lead to my interest in making my own products. I took aromatherapy classes, I did a lot of research, I practiced a lot. But now, using the knowledge I've gained, I am making my own products; for myself, and for my clients. Natural products are good, have the least amount of side effects, are most efficient and make you feel and look great!
Have you ever consider making your own serum? Something that's natural, made by you, free of harmful preservatives and beneficiary for your fragile skin? Today I will give you some simple instructions on how to do so!
This recipe for an ANTI-AGING serum is simple. It is good for all types of skin, and really good for mature skin or skin with wrinkles.
for a 1 oz amber glass vial dropper you will need:
2 tablespoons Organic Argan Oil
1 heaping tablespoon of organic Rosehip Oil
2 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
5 drops of essential oil Rockrose Cistus Ladaniferus
5 drops of essential oil of Geranium Pelargonium Graveolens or Damascus Rose "Rosa Damascena" if your wallet allows it, because the rose essential oil can be expensive depending on the quality, but definitely it does the job! (you can combine both if you wish) - DO NOT USE FRAGRANCE OILS-
It is important to add the essential oils (E.O.) in the order they appear to the recipe in order to dilute them properly for maximum effect, but if you miss this order you will still have a good result. Once you add the E.O. to your carrier oil mixture (argan + rosehip), cap the bottle and close it tightly, shake gently by rolling in your palms, and your serum is ready to use!
HOW TO USE IT!
1.No matter what time of the day you apply your cream or serum, you need to wash your face first! By washing your face you get rid of grime, toxins, sweat, makeup, etc allowing the skin pores to absorb the creams or serums and work their magic! Try using a gentle cleaner, a natural soap like the ones we make for our Mortar and Pestle skincare line that are free of sulfates and toxins.
2. Always apply the cream on damp skin as the cream applies better moisture on damp skin!
3. Apply 6-8 drops every morning and evening to your clean face and neck . Once your serum is absorbed you can still apply your favorite face cream if you wish. Avoid additional creams if you have oily skin.
For mature and very dry skin gentle massage is necessary.
If you are over 30 years, massage gently your face without hurry. A two minute massage on your face every time you apply your serum or your cream is the secret to a youthful skin without deep wrinkles. Remember
that a patting style massage on your skin is always better than strong circular massage. You need to make sure that you are patting on your eye cremes/serums from the inner to the outer corner of your eye area (avoiding direct contact in your eyes) and then patting little by little your face cremes/ serums from the jawline upward and from the nasolabial lines (the parenthesis that eventually frames ours mouths) outward, and on your neck patting upward to your chin.
