Ingredients Needed
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
- Sweet almond oil – Carrier
- Pumpkin seed oil – Carrier
- Rose oil – Carrier
- Lavender oil – Carrier
- 24 karat pure gold leaf
Tools Needed
- Measuring spoons
- Stainless steel cup
- Small silicone spatula
- 40-milliliter (1.35 US fl oz) glass bottle with cork stopper to store the DIY Gold Serum for Skin.
Important: This serum must be stored in a glass container only. If you use a plastic container for example, the gold fragments in the serum will attach to the inner surface of the container, thus separating from the serum oils.
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 Gold Serum for Skin
Preparing the Mix of Oils
1- Start by adding 15 milliliters (0.50 US fl oz) of sweet almond carrier oil into a stainless steel cup.
2- Add 10 milliliters (0.33 US fl oz) of pumpkin carrier oil.
3- Add 5 milliliters (0.17 US fl oz) of rose carrier oil.
4- Add 5 milliliters (0.17 US fl oz) of lavender carrier oil.
5- With a small spatula, mix the oils thoroughly for 2 minutes.
Adding the Gold
6- Now we will add the 24K pure gold leaves. Such a leaf is very delicate. It can be blown away easily with any breeze in the room where you are working. As soon as you touch the leaf with your finger or spatula, it quickly contracts and attach to it. That is a sign that it is pure gold.
7- We will add a total of 4 gold leaves. Open the first leaf wrapping, and pick up the leaf with a small spatula. Place it in the oil mix. Stir well, and you see that it disintegrates easily into small pieces. Do the same for the other 3 gold leaves.
Note: It is up to you how many gold leaves you want to include. You can use 4 like I did, or less.
8- Mix well for 2 minutes.
9- Pour the serum into a glass container and seal it.
10- Your DIY Gold Serum for Skin is now done! You can use it immediately.
Let’s Try it Out
10- With a dropper, I pick up a little of the serum from the bottle. Notice how gold fragments are picked up with the serum as well.
11- I squeeze out 2 drops of the serum onto my skin. Again, gold pieces come along as well.
12- Rub the serum on the skin. See how the gold fragments melt quickly.
How To Use: DIY Gold Serum for Skin
Using our DIY Gold Serum for Skin is a delightful and indulgent experience that will leave you feeling like royalty. Follow these simple steps to make the most of this luxurious skincare elixir:
a. Preparation: Before applying the gold serum, ensure your face is clean and free from any makeup or impurities. Gently cleanse and pat dry your skin to create a smooth canvas for the serum.
b. Dispense the Serum: Shake the DIY Gold Serum for Skin bottle gently to mix the oils and gold leaf. Using a dropper, dispense a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips.
c. Warm the Serum: Rub your palms together to warm the serum slightly. This step enhances absorption and ensures an even application.
d. Application: Gently press the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Avoid tugging or pulling on the skin. The serum’s lightweight texture will effortlessly glide across your skin.
e. Massage & Pat: Take a moment to massage the serum into your skin using circular motions. This helps the oils and gold leaf penetrate deeply for maximum benefits. Then, pat your face gently with your fingertips to aid absorption.
f. Enjoy the Glow: Let the DIY Gold Serum for Skin work its magic! Allow the serum to fully absorb into your skin for at least 5-10 minutes before applying any additional products.

h. Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum has been fully absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in the nourishing goodness of the serum and provide extra hydration to your skin.
i. Sunscreen: During your morning routine, remember to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This step is crucial in preserving the radiance and health of your skin.
With regular use, you’ll notice a remarkable improvement in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall glow. Embrace the power of 24K gold and let your skin shine with natural beauty!

Its non-comedogenic nature ensures it won’t clog pores, making it safe and effective for everyone.
