This time I've come up with something so easy that you won't even believe me when I say it can take 30 seconds to make. But it's true. 30 seconds. Time yourself. {wink}
- 2oz Glass Dropper Bottles
- 5 drops of High Quality Lavender Essential Oil (I recommend this brand)
- 2 TBSP Rose Hips Oil (I recommend this one)
- 2 TBSP Jojoba Oil (preferably organic)
- ¼ tsp Vegetable Glycerin
- optional: 5 drops of Frankincense, Melrose or Roman Chamomile (I recommend this brand)
- optional: Carrot Seed essential oil for natural sun protection (I recommend this one)
You simply just mix everything in a glass bottle and then you're ready to go. Seriously, it's that easy!
How I Like To Use It
I like to clean my face, use Thayers Witch Hazel and then use a couple of drops of this moisturizer on my skin. It absorbs really well and makes my skin feel sooooo soft! But the lavender and frankincense work together to help reduce unwanted bumps too! WIN!
Here is a video I made to explain a little bit more about the ingredients and how to make this super simple beauty product.
Did you know that there are supermodels who swear by rose hips oil and it's awesome skin benefits. I figure they must know what they are taking about, right?!
Just be sure that when you use essential oils on your skin (especially you face) that you use high quality essential oils (read this to see who I recommend and why). I have had readers tell me that some store bought brands have caused them to break out, develop rashes and other skin symptoms. This is often due to synthetic chemicals which can even be in brands labeled as "pure". So just make sure you do your research when choosing an essential oil, carrier oils and other products to make your recipes.
