DIY Anti-Aging Serum |
hey guys it’s Laura from really house
comm and today I’m going to show you how
to make an anti-aging serum
[Music]
so when it comes to skincare I like to
make a lot of my own products using my
essential oils and different carrier
oils it’s very simple to make these
things and it will save you so much
money because if you go to the store or
amazon or every shop and you start
looking at all these creams and serums
and washes and moisturizers everything
can be pretty pricey but making your own
it’s actually very very cost effective
so today I’m going to show you how to
make an anti-aging serum now to make
this serum you can do it several
different ways the basis of the recipe
is the same but you can switch it up
depending on if you have oily skin or
dry skin or acne prone skin all of those
types of things you can really customize
this blend for what skin type you have
so the one I’m making today this is just
gonna be for normal skin that you want
to protect from maybe wrinkles and fine
lines and age spots things like that
that’s what this recipe is going to be
really well for now I have down in the
description below you’ll see some of my
other anti-aging serum recipes for the
other things I talked about so depending
on what skin type you have will
determine what you’ll want to do so to
make a face serum the first thing you’re
gonna do is you’re just going to add in
some type of carrier wheel now I’m going
to make mine all in a bowl so I could
start together really well and then I
will transfer it here to my little glass
dropper bottle because this makes it
really easy to get out and to apply to
the skin so you’re first gonna start off
by just putting in a carrier oil so for
mine I’m gonna do the fractionated
coconut oil this is one of my favorite
carrier oils it has a very light texture
and scent to it it’s I really like that
and I’m just gonna add in two
tablespoons of a carrier oil now like I
said you can also use a jojoba oil that
one’s really good if you have sensitive
skin you can also use grapeseed oil or
even olive oil that’s a little bit
thicker but it’s also really good for
certain skin types
and then I’m just gonna add in just
three to five drops of vitamin E oil and
vitamin E oil has some really amazing
benefits for the skin especially for
anti-aging helping with wrinkles and
fine lines it’s also really good for
crow’s feet around your eyes so adding
in vitamin E is going to be very very
helpful for the skin
now the vitamin E is optional you can
make this with just your carrier oil and
your ascent oils but if you want to add
in that extra step of vitamin E oil it
will have some extra benefits for you
okay so then we’re just gonna add in
some essential oils now there are
several essential oils that are really
good for anti-aging and for the skin
some of my favorite is yarrow palm it’s
yarrow and pomegranate essential oil
mixed together has a really pretty blue
color that one’s great rose essential
oil is great frankincense is great also
lavender and sandalwood helichrysum all
of these oils have so many great
benefits for your skin so I’m gonna add
in here about 15 10 to 15 drops of
essential oil and I’m gonna do the
lavender sandalwood & helichrysum today
because those are just some of my
favorites and I like the way that they
smell together so I’m gonna add those
into the bowl sandalwood is a probably
my all-time favorite scent with
essential oils I am obsessed with it
it’s a thicker oil so it’s a little bit
harder to get out but it’s kind of like
sappy
I just love that woodsy smell of
sandalwood it smells so good especially
in the diffuser because it has so many
benefits for your skin I like to add it
in now helichrysum this is another great
one for the skin I use this one for my
daughter one time whenever she got hit
with a shovel long story it was an
accident was with my son but anyway she
had a nice little gouge right there and
she was bleeding pretty bad so I put a
couple drops of helichrysum right there
on that spot and it stopped the bleeding
pretty much instantly and so I love to
have this one
for things like that but great for the
skin so I added that in here and then
I’m just going to take a spoon here and
I’m gonna stir it all together to make
sure it’s all well combined now you can
make a larger back of this or a smaller
batch depending on what size bottle you
have mine is gonna have plenty of room I
could make triple batch of this in here
but another tip if you guys have any
empty essential oil containers you can
get droppers that fit on here on Mazon I
will link them below so if you have an
empty one you can save it then you can
put a face serum just right in this
bottle with a dropper top on there or
you can even save an old medicine
dropper to make this even more
cost-effective ficient
but I do have some of these glass
bottles I’m going to use a little funnel
here to get it in and I’m just gonna
pour my oils in there and then I’m just
gonna put my little dropper on here and
this serum is ready to go now the best
way to use this I like to use it after
my face is already cleansed but before I
apply any moisturizers or toners or
anything like that so right after my
face is cleansed I will just put a few
drops of my serum in my hand rub it
around and then just spread it on to my
face and then I will then put on if I
have a toner or moisturizer I’ll put
that on but this is just a really good
serum to add to your routine it would be
best to do it morning and night
sometimes I don’t have time to or just
don’t remember but most the time don’t
have time to do my whole routine twice a
day but at least once a day and then
really focus around those areas that you
have concerns about that are maybe more
sensitive to wrinkles or fine lines kind
of around the eyes but do you remember
we don’t want to get essential oils in
our eyes but it is okay to go around
them and so this is a nice little easy
serum and you can whip up and then use
for your in your daily routine if you
