There is no one "best" homemade face serum, as the ideal formula depends on your specific skin type and concerns. However, many homemade recipes utilize ingredients like coconut oil, sesame oil, ylang-ylang, turmeric, lavender, vitamin E, and rose water for their beneficial properties.
Here are some popular homemade face serum recipes:
- For a moisturizing and nourishing serum: Combine 2 teaspoons of coconut or sesame oil with 1-2 drops of ylang-ylang, turmeric, or lavender essential oil. Add 2-3 drops of vitamin E oil or glycerin for added moisture.
- For a serum that brightens and evens skin tone: Combine 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil with 1 tablespoon of rosehip seed oil and 5 drops each of frankincense and carrot seed essential oil.
- For a serum to reduce wrinkles and fine lines: Combine 2 tablespoons of organic jojoba oil with 1 tablespoon each of organic tamanu oil and rosehip seed oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of organic aloe vera gel.
- For a serum to soothe and calm irritated skin: Combine 17 grams of distilled water, 5 grams of chamomile hydrosol, 10 grams of hyaluronic acid (1% stock solution), and 3 grams of 1,3 propanediol.
Remember to patch test any new serum on a small area of skin before applying it to your entire face. And always consult with a dermatologist if you have any skin concerns.
