Natural face serums for moisturizing skin
Making your own homemade face serum can be as simple as mixing together a base oil or carrier oil as often is used in combination with essential oils.
It might sound strange applying oil to your face, especially if you have oily or acne prone skin, (we are trained to think this by cosmetic companies) but in fact if you pick the right combination of blends, they absorb quickly leaving your skin feeling soft and nourished.
Carrier oils rich in essential fatty acids especially penetrate the skin delivering the benefits of added essential oils deep into the layers of your skin.
General Conversion Guidelines
Before I go into the recipes below, here are some general guidelines on conversions when blending essential and base oils
3 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 tablespoon (tbs)
2 tablespoons (tbs) = 1 ounce (oz)
6 teaspoons (tsp) = 1 ounce (oz)
10 milliliter (ml) = 1/3 ozor 2 teaspoons
15 milliliter (ml) = 1/2 oz
30 milliliter (ml) = 1 oz or 2 tablespoons
10 milliliter (ml) = approximately 300 drops
Here are some easy recipes that you can adapt to suit your skin
