Steps: DIY Frankincense Face Serum
Making this DIY Frankincense Face Serum is so straightforward that all you need is the storage glass bottle. The process is quick and easy, requiring just a few essential ingredients to create a highly effective serum with minimal effort.
1- Fill the 50-milliliter (1.7-ounce) glass bottle with sweet almond oil, leaving a bit of space at the top. This will allow room to add the essential oil and vitamin E in the next steps.
Note: You can use jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, or wheat germ oil instead of sweet almond oil.
2- Add 10 drops of frankincense essential oil. This luxurious oil will infuse the serum with its rejuvenating properties, enhancing your skin’s firmness and radiance.
3- Add 1 gram (0.035 ounce) of Vitamin E. This nourishing addition will boost the serum’s hydrating effects, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.
4- Seal the glass bottle tightly. This step locks in all the potent ingredients, ensuring your serum remains fresh and effective.
5- Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are perfectly blended. This ensures that the serum’s benefits are evenly distributed for maximum effectiveness.
6- And your DIY Frankincense Face Serum is ready to use.
How to Use: DIY Frankincense Face Serum
a. Cleanse Your Face: Start by thoroughly cleansing your face to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This ensures that your skin is clean and ready to fully absorb the serum.
b. Apply the Serum: After cleansing, dispense a small quantity of the serum onto your fingertips. Gently apply the serum to your face and neck using light, upward strokes. Focus on areas where you want to enhance firmness and radiance. Exercise caution when applying the serum near the eye area, as it is sensitive.
c. Allow to Absorb: Give the serum a few moments to fully absorb into your skin. This will help the active ingredients work effectively. Avoid applying other skincare products or makeup immediately after, to ensure the serum can penetrate the skin properly.
d. Frequency: For optimal results, use it every evening after cleansing, as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Consistent use will yield the best results over time.
e. Store Properly: To preserve the potency of your DIY serum, store it in a cool, dark place. The glass bottle should be tightly sealed with a cork cap or similar closure to prevent air and moisture from affecting the serum. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
By following these steps, you can maximize the benefits of your homemade frankincense face serum and enjoy its natural skin-firming and radiance-enhancing effects.
