Best DIY Vitamin C Serum For Face

The Best Vitamin C Serum for Face can be made in

the comfort of your own home!
This is an easy home made skin care recipe – a serum or Vitamin C Cream using essential oils
and optional beeswax as an emollient to combine the ingredients.

This natural recipe contains essential oils known to be super rich in not only vitamin C, but also
essential fatty acids (EFA’s) which help to nourish and protect skin.
 Rosehip and carrot seed oil are known for their renewing and
repairing properties, they also help to soften and rm skin.

You can also include other essential oils renowned for their
antiaging and repairing properties such as Tamanu oil,
Frankincense oil, Sea Buckthorn and many others.

The recipe below is a good basic one to make at home with plenty
of bene ts. The oils we have suggested absorb quickly into skin,

commercial retinols to stimulate and rejuvenate your skin. At the same time it ghts skin
problems such as psoriasis, eczema and other rashes. The formative action on the epidermal
cells helps to keep wrinkles at bay and is also helpful for  ghting liver (age) spots.

4 drops neroli or frankincense oil. These oils oil regenerate cells and speed up the cell renewal
process for brighter younger looking skin. These oils also tighten and rm skin. You can add other
oils to boost the serums e ectiveness which you can read about on the second half of this post.

1 tsp rosehip oil. Rosehip oil is fast absorbing and is extremely rich in vitamin C helping to remove
discoloration (age spots) or sun damage. Vitamin C rich rosehip oil is a luxurious treat for your
skin.

8 tablespoons soybean, grape seed, almond or apricot kernel (apricot oil is the lightest followed
by almond and soybean). Apricot oil is my favorite for it’s rapid absorption (I have oily skin even in
my 40’s) and it leaves your skin feeling soft and youthful. It’s also rich in Vitamins A, C and E, all of
which have anti-aging bene ts for skin.

If making a lotion add 1 1/2 tablespoons beeswax (to make moisturizer instead of serum) and 1
tsp extra virgin coconut oil (optional)

Melt the last three ingredients together gently in a

double boiler until just melted.  Stir together until
well combined then allow to cool to room
temperature before adding the essential oils.  You
can add more or less beeswax depending on the
thickness of the cream you like.  Adding two
tablespoons would make it quite thick and creamy.

To make a diy vitamin serum

 You don’t need to heat the mixture and also you can omit the beeswax – just mix the ingredients
together and you’ll have an easy to make Vitamin C serum instead.

Store in a well washed container out of direct sunlight.  You can also add a pinch of ascorbic acid
to the lotion mix if you like (not the serum) to give it some extra Vitamin C punch!

This recipe gives you approximately a 20% concentration of vitamin C in your serum anyhow
which parallels many of the commercial brands vitamin serum C content. And that’s without the
ascorbic acid!
