Hydrating Face Serum
Face serums are thought to have many benefits, from hydrating the skin to smoothing fine lines to lightening sun spots.
DIY face serums are typically made with a base (carrier oil) and essential oils. For this recipe, we’ll use sweet almond oil, which is full of vitamins and minerals that can help reduce the appearance of dark spots, fight wrinkles, and firm the skin and it’s lightweight so it absorbs easily. We’ll add frankincense, which is said to have regenerating properties and the ability to even out skin tone; and geranium oil, which not only smells beautiful, but can promote radiant skin. Ingredients 1/2 cup sweet almond oil 10 drops frankincense essential oil 10 drops geranium essential oil
