DIY Natural Serum for Oily Skin: Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Power Blend

Discover an easy solution designed to address the unique needs of oily and mixed skin types – the DIY Natural Serum for Oily Skin. Crafted with the enriching goodness of Aloe Vera and Tea Tree, this serum offers a potent blend to restore balance and radiance to your complexion.

In this article, we’ll unveil a simple yet effective recipe, leveraging the natural benefits of these ingredients to create a serum that not only combats excess oil but also nurtures and revitalizes your skin. Join us on this enlightening journey to unlock the potential of the Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Power Blend.

Ingredients Needed

• Sweet Almond Oil or coconut oil
• Aloe Vera Gel
• Tea Tree Essential Oil

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.

Tools Needed

• Bowl
• Tablespoon
• Teaspoon
• Small whisk
• A serum glass bottle to store your DIY Natural Serum for Oily Skin

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 Natural Serum for Oily Skin

Spoons Explained!

In some articles, we use spoon measurements for non-liquid ingredients. These terms apply to both tablespoons and teaspoons:

• One Spoon: Ingredient filled and leveled in a measuring spoon.
• Rounded Spoon: Ingredient slightly piled above the spoon’s edge.
• Heaped Spoon: Ingredient scooped as high as possible on the spoon.
• Slightly Heaped Spoon: A bit more than a rounded spoon but not overly heaped.

1- Start by putting one tablespoon of sweet almond oil or coconut oil in a bowl. In the image below, I used coconut oil; the weather was warm and the coconut oil was liquid (in cold temperatures, it solidifies).

2- Add 4 drops only of tea tree essential oil.

3- Add one rounded teaspoon of aloe vera gel.

4- With a small whisk, mix thoroughly the ingredients.

5- Scoop the serum into a serum glass bottle, and you’re done!
