The Easiest All-Natural Homemade Face Serum for Busy Mom -

We all want that glowing skin we all had when we were pregnant, but postpartum usually means breaking out like we are teenagers. It is frustrating and embarrassing, especially when your mom friends don’t seem to have that problem. Here is an incredibly easy homemade face serum that could give you that glow you have been searching for!

Traditional Face Serums

Traditional face serums may have a lot of toxic chemicals that may be making your skin a lot worse.

One of those ingredients include fragrance. Fragrance or parfum inside a product can literally be any toxin or chemical that the company wants to include. There are some ingredients you definitely don’t want in your skincare, you can find them all in the free ebook below.

That is why making a DIY face serum is so important! Not only is it more cost efficient it is safer for you because you will know exactly what goes into your product.

Where to Get Ingredients

You want to be careful where you get your essential oils, as some will contain the fragrance and fillers inside. You want pure essential oils so you know they are safe. Do your research to make sure the essential oils you are using are completely safe!

My favorite places to get oils include Young Living and Mountain Rose Herbs.

Young Living

Young Living has an amazing seed to seal promise meaning they are entirely safe from the soil they use down to packaging it up.

You can actually go to their farms and do the process yourselves. They don’t hide anything which means I can trust them.

Some of the oils I use in my homemade face serum are exclusively from Young Living such as Longevity, and Valor. Young Living essential oils are some of my favorite because I use their rewards program and get oils for free, along with 20% back on all my orders! This helps a lot to make them more budget friendly.

Mountain Rose Herbs

I recently came across Mountain Rose Herbs and love them. I get most of my herbs from them to make my own recipes and herb infused oils.

However, I recently tried their essential oils and love them. They are organic and share about their entire process as well. These are a great option if you don’t like buying from MLMs. I started using some of these essential oils in my facial serum as well!

Instructions

Here is how I make this DIY face oil serum.

You want to add your essential oils first. If you are adding herb infused oil, you’ll need to prepare that first, which can take anywhere from 24 hours to 6 weeks, depending on your method.

You can add as many drops of oil as you want. I like to add more to get more benefits, but it totally up to your preference, budget and materials.

Once you add all your essential oils into your glass dropper bottle, then you’ll add your carrier oil. Depending on your skin needs, this could be different for everyone. My personal favorite is jojoba oil; however argan oil is great as well.

That’s it! Super fast and easy. This lasts me a minimum of six months, but more around 8-10 months. Because it lasts forever, it also makes it super affordable.
