Ingredients Needed

Notes on Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

• Lemon essential oil
• Sandalwood essential oil
• Frankincense essential oil. Check out the amazing benefits of frankincense in skincare.
• Grapeseed carrier oil

Important: For sensitive skin, the lemon essential oil is to be omitted. The sandalwood and frankincense essential oils are enough to make the serum as effective. However, if you wish to replace the lemon essential oil, you can use instead green tea essential oil or chamomile essential oil.

Tools Needed

• 30-milliliter (1 US fl oz) glass serum dropper bottle to store the serum
• Small funnel

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Dark Spot Serum

Important: For sensitive skin, the lemon essential oil is to be omitted or replaced as mentioned above.

1- Start by adding 6 drops of the lemon essential oil in the glass dropper bottle.

2- Add 4 drops of the sandalwood essential oil.

3- Add 2 drops only of the frankincense essential oil.

4- Using a small funnel, fill the bottle with grapeseed carrier oil. Leave a little space empty at the top, to allow mixing the ingredients.

5- Seal the dropper bottle, and shake it well for 2 minutes to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

6- Your DIY Dark Spot Serum is now done! You can use it immediately.

How To Use: DIY Dark Spot Serum

Using our DIY Dark Spot Serum with Sandalwood and Frankincense is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to incorporate it into your skincare routine for optimal results:

Step 1: Cleanse Your Face
Start with a clean canvas by washing your face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Step 2: Patch Test
Before applying the serum to your entire face, perform a patch test. Dab a small amount of the mixture on a discreet area of your skin, like the inside of your forearm. Wait for 24 hours to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

Step 3: Apply the Serum
Once the patch test confirms that your skin tolerates the serum, you’re ready to apply it. It is preferable to apply it before you go to bed. You can use it during the day, but you should not expose your skin to sunlight. Take a few drops of the DIY Dark Spot Serum and gently massage it onto the areas with dark spots or uneven pigmentation. Avoid the eye area.

Step 4: Let It Absorb
Allow the serum to absorb into your skin for a few minutes. Its powerful ingredients will work their magic to target and fade those pesky dark spots. After the skin has absorbed the serum, apply your preferred moisturizing cream.
