DIY HYDRATING FACE SERUM + ANTI-WRINKLE EYE OIL

FACE SERUM: It was an aging slap in the face. Because, of course, I then went on a wrinkle hunt, and the evidence of my denial mounted.

Let the anti-aging research begin! I’ve discovered how good natural fruit acids are for reducing age spots [source] and how older skin needs tons of moisture. Where did the oily days go? Now my face always feels like a poor man dying in the desert.

I’ve even changed my mind about face misters. Aren’t people who spritz their faces on planes completely self-absorbed nuts? No! Giving your skin moisture throughout the day is definitely an excellent anti-aging idea.

Searching for an age-defying topical treatment that provides optimum hydration with minimal skin irritation is essential.

Hydrating Face Serum

That’s where this homemade serum comes in. It’s a light moisturizer that hydrates with only a small amount of oil—your face feels soft and pampered but not greasy. Aloe hydrates and heals skin (though natural versions must be refrigerated) and is rich in vitamins A, C, and E [source].

These vitamins and other natural compounds in aloe vera function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories that help protect the skin from damage imposed from outside stressors [source]. Aloe vera further helps to moisturize the skin, protecting the impaired skin barrier.

Hydrating Serum Ingredients

• 1/4 cup aloe vera gel
• 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin
• 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
• 1 vitamin E capsule (optional)
• 2–4 drops of essential oil like lavender, chamomile, or rose

Combine ingredients in a small glass pump bottle and shake well to combine. Apply to clean skin at night for a light, overnight moisturizer. Shake before each use if including the vitamin E capsule. This will last indefinitely if stored in the refrigerator.

Why jojoba oil?

Jojoba and avocado oil (see below) are two of my favorites for skincare recipes. Jojoba is an oil that’s very close to our skin’s natural oil, and you can use it for just about anything (much like coconut oil).
