DIY Radiant Skin Serum – All-in-One Natural Skincare

by Charlotte Walker May 30, 2017
written by Charlotte Walker
DIY Radiant Skin Serum – All-in-One Natural Skincare

A luxurious treat for the skin, this all in one radiant skin serum will brighten and soften your skin. It can be used to cleanse, moisturise, repair and pamper your skin.

Commercial skin serums and oils and can cost anywhere from $40 to $200 for a small bottle. Many contain preservatives and other additives that are not beneficial to your skin or well being.  The good news is that serums are ridiculously simple to make at home. Save yourself a lot of money and nourish your body with luxurious, all natural ingredients that you can trust.

All in one Radiant Skin Serum Solution

Skin serums are effective for mature, combination and even oily skin. They balance your skin and nourish it. If you want to read more about the theory and reasons behind oils for skincare you might enjoy this article: Oils – Why They Are So Beneficial For All Skin Types from Mochni.

Cleanser

Apply 5-6  drops of serum your skin and gently massage it in.  Using a soft damp cloth gently remove the excess oil. To exfoliate, rub slightly harder in a circular motion avoiding the eye area.

Moisturiser

Gently massage 3 drops of the elixir into your face and neck using gentle upward strokes. When applying to the eyes swipe from other outside inward being careful to not get any in your eye. You will need to wait five minutes for the oil to absorb before you can apply  your make-up.

Make up remover

Apply 3 drops of serum to a cotton pad and gently wipe away your make-up.

Steam facial

Rub 5 drops of oil on your face, being sure to gently dab it in around eyes and other trouble areas you might have. Heat a wash cloth and wring it out. Place the very warm wash cloth on your face, and breathe in and out relaxing as the cloth cools. Gently wipe away excess oil.

Radiant Skin Serum Recipe

DIY Beautiful Facial Serum - All-in-One Natural Skincare


This radiant skin serum uses a mixture of oils that hydrate and balance the skin.It is suitable for all skin types including: dry, mature and combination.

Makes 1 – 30ML bottle

  • 2 Tbsp Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)
  • 2 Tsp Rose Hip Seed Oil (Rosa Canina)
  • 1 Tsp Almond Seed Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis)
  • 8 drops Seabuckthorn essential oil (Hippophae rhamnoides)
  • 5 drops Lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
  • 3 drops Frankincense  essential oil(Boswellia sacra)
  1. Sterilize your bottle. Wash well with hot soapy water and let dry completely before using
  2. Using a funnel measure the carrier oils and pour them into your bottle. Add the essential oils, cap the bottle and gently shake to combine.

For best results the serum should be stored in a dark place (out of direct sunlight). If your bottle is slightly larger that this recipe calls for, simply increase the amount of jojoba oil.

The Ingredients Explained

Finding Supplies

You can obtain small bottles of all of the oils used in this recipe at most health food stores. You can also sometimes find them at a discount at Homesense (although this is hit and miss). If you plan on making your own beauty products on a regular basis to get the best overall pricing consider looking on-line for bulk suppliers. Pooling together with friends for a bulk purchase is also a wonderful way to get the best pricing.   Coop Coco  (Canada) and Bulk Apothecary (US) are just a few options you can explore.

You can also make your own herbal infused oils at home, including the rose hip oil used in this recipe.  Learn how here: Herbal Infused Oils For Natural Skincare.

You will most often find her in the garden, tending to the animals or picking wild plants for her concoctions. In the kitchen, she always has projects on the go; brewing, fermenting, baking, cooking and remedy making. Prior to living the homesteading dream, she was the Director of Marketing for an innovative communications company, SSi Micro. With fourteen years with this company, she grew departments, managed large projects, organized people, and ran the purchasing and logistics department. Charlotte is happiest when she has her fingers in all kinds of pots, creating a little bit of disorder while making beautiful things.
