DIY Vitamin C Serum for Anti-Aging

Ingredients:

Instructions:

• Using a bowl and a whisk, blend the vitamin C powder and filtered water.
• Add the Aloe Vera gel. Blend again.
• Add the vitamin E oil and frankincense. Mix all ingredients until well blended.
• Using a funnel, transfer the serum into a small amber bottle to help reduce light exposure.
• Apply at night, making sure to remove in the morning since it can cause sensitivity when exposed to the sun.
• You may want to start with every other night to make sure your skin responds well. Results are usually noticeable within a few weeks up to 3 months.

Essential oils can be used in so many ways by adding ingredients like clay, charcoal and Shea butter. When you combine the essential oils with the right carrier oils you will get amazing results for your skin. Also, it’s always wise to do a patch test before actually using it to make sure essential oil doesn’t react negatively to your skin.
