DIY Anti Aging Serum – What Does that Really Mean?

Before we start, let’s get one thing out of the way – there is no such thing as anti-aging. I mean, how did this word even come up? We all know that aging is a natural process and that there is no stopping it.

However, you can slow down the aging process, or make sure that your age in a healthy and beautiful manner. Fortunately, that’s what I’m here to tell you about – how to make your own DIY face serum!

Best Essential Oil for Deep Wrinkles Recipe

There’s a ton of essential oils out there that all claim to work wonders on wrinkles, age spots, and fine lines, but I’ve compiled a list of the best essential oils that will actually do the job. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself and see the difference!

• Ylang ylang essential oil: Although majorly known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, ylang-ylang also helps encourage cell reproduction, improves elasticity, and smoothens out fine lines.
• Neroli Oil: It contains citral, a chemical known for cell regeneration. It also helps improve skin tightening and fights scarring and wrinkles, resulting in your skin feeling rejuvenated and healthy.

DIY Face Serum With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil isn’t something that I would recommend adding in your face serum. All types of oils have a comedogenic rating, which ranks oils and butters based on their likelihood to clog pores. Preferably, you should choose oils that have a comedogenic rating between 0-2. Coconut oil has a rating of 4, which makes it highly comedogenic and therefore, highly likely to clog pores and cause acne.

Rosehip Oil for Wrinkles – Why Does it Work?

This is probably the best anti-wrinkle oil out there. Rosehip oil is rich in Vitamin A, which is known to reduce age spots and wrinkles. Its molecules are small enough to penetrate deep into the skin and work their magic in improving collagen levels and nourishing the skin.

Can You Mix Frankincense and Rosehip Oil?

 Yes, Frankincense can be mixed with Rosehip oil. In fact, both of them together make a beautiful, soothing facial blend perfect for your skin!

Store-bought face serums can be quite expensive and the problem is that can never be quite sure of the quality of their ingredients.

These are the very reasons why I have decided to make a DIY face serum recipe with essential oils that is anti-wrinkles. I believe that you can save money and have a higher quality product when you are making a homemade face serum.

Even my boyfriend who is very picky loves using this organic face oil! This works on sensitive skin as well.  If your skin is extremely sensitive, I would only use a few drops of lavender oil with the rosehip oil and skip all the other essential oils at first.

What are the ingredients of my DIY face serum recipe?

1. Organic Rosehip oil

Rosehip oil comes from the seeds of rosehip fruit from Chile.

It has a smooth and thin texture and is not greasy. The best quality rosehip oil has an orange and almost red color. It will not color your skin but can help give you a healthy tanned glow naturally.

Rosehip oil is filled with vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that hydrate the skin, repair damage from free radicals, reduce skin discoloration.

Keep in mind that not all rosehip oils are created equal. To ensure that you are using the highest quality, you should look for two things in the label—cold-pressed and certified organic.

Cold-pressed is the best extraction method because it ensures the maximum vitamin content and potency of the oil.

A certified organic rosehip oil has not been grown with pesticides or insecticides and contains no chemicals, preservatives, and parabens that may harm the skin.

Used on its own, rosehip oil helps to fight Eczema, Rosacea, Dermatitis, Psoriasis. It is great to reduce skin redness and uneven skin tone as well.

The price of a 30 ml bottle ranges from $15 to $45 and you can buy online here.

2. Rose geranium essential oil

Considered to be one of the best essential oils for aging, rose geranium essential oil is derived from stalks and leaves of a shrub called Pelargonium and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It also helps reduce wrinkles, fight skin infection, promote skin healing, and boost the regeneration of skin cells. Plus it scent is delightful, it has a sweet peppery and musky rose scent.

3. Frankincense essential oil

Frankincense Oil is extracted from the gum or resin from Frankincense or Olibanum trees. I have included this anti-aging face oil in my recipe because it reduces skin discoloration, increases blood flow making the skin more smooth.

4. Helichrysum essential oil

Also known as Everlasting and Immortelle essential oil found in most skin care products because of its ability to promote healing of wounds, relieve sunburn, prevent skin cancer, treat acne, fight off infection and keep fungi at bay.

5. Sandalwood essential oil

Sandalwood essential oil takes good care of your skin by soothing sunburns, shrinking skin pores, promoting an even skin texture, fighting off bacteria and fungi that cause acne.

6. Carrot seed essential oil

Carrot seed oil is high in antioxidants, it’s a natural essential oil for any anti-aging skin face serum and perfect for mature skin. The oil also contains vitamin E and vitamin C, which works together to regenerate your skin.

Now, I know what you are thinking! No, you don’t need to use all those essential oils to have a good face serum, you can definitely skip 1 or two and still have a great face oil recipe.

DIY Anti Aging Face Oil Recipe – is Oil Good for Your Face?

 There’s a lot of controversy in the skincare industry when it comes to whether oils are good for your skin or not. It’s very important to understand your skin type, and then choosing an oil that will complement it, rather than work against it. Here are a few tried and tested essential oils that are great to tackle your wrinkle issues.

• Jojoba Oil: Whilst research says that jojoba oil doesn’t directly help wrinkles, it helps to deeply moisturize the skin, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and give the skin an even, smooth tone.
• Pomegranate Seed Oil: It is rich in punicic acid, which is a fatty acid which helps unclog pores, block free radicals, and help the skin age in a smooth, radiant manner.
• Chia Seed Oil: Highly rich in omega-3 fatty acids, chia seed oil works in making your skin look plump. It also balances the skin’s moisture levels, thereby working as a great anti-wrinkle agent.
• Prickly Pear Oil: Trust me, you don’t want to judge this oil by its name. Rich in vitamins E and K, prickly pear oil is great for brightening your skin, restoring elasticity and softening wrinkles. It also stimulates cell growth, enabling your skin to feel smoother and younger with every use.

Is using oil on my face going to make me break out?

Do you think that putting oil on your face will make it more oily and even clog your pores?

That’s a common urban legend and one of the many marketing tactics the giants of commercial beauty love to spread around. “Oil will clog your pores and make your skin break out”.

The truth is not all oils are suitable to use on your face but rosehip oil is one of them.

Rosehip oil is a dry oil as it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave any oily residue on your face. Therefore, it does not clog pores.

If your face is oily, it is because there is an unbalance of sebum. You are either cleaning your face too hard, scrubbing it too often, or using chemicals that destroy the natural sebum barrier and cause imbalance and skin breakout.

The one thing you can do to save your skin from breaking out it to switch to an all-natural and simple routine.

Clean your skin by applying a natural organic rose hydrosol with a cotton pad and then massage rosehip oil on your face.

That’s it. This is what saved me from endless skin breakout and after sticking to this simple routine, I was able to keep my acne under control.

Also, please keep in mind, acne is a symptom of an internal problem and usually a result of a “poor” diet.
