Yield: 2 ounces
Cost: $5
Equipment
- Small bowl
- Glass dropper bottle
Materials
Hydrating Face Serum
- ¼ cup aloe vera gel
- 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin
- 1 teaspoon jojoba oil
- 1 vitamin E capsule optional
- 2–4 drops of essential oil like lavender, chamomile, or rose
Anti-Wrinkle Eye Serum
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil
- ⅛ – ¼ cup aloe vera
- 1 vitamin E capsule optional
Instructions
Hydrating Face Serum
- Combine ingredients in a small glass pump bottle, and shake well to combine. Apply to your clean skin at night for a light, overnight moisturizer. Shake before each use if using the vitamin E capsule. Will last indefinitely if stored in the refrigerator.
Anti-Wrinkle Eye Serum
- Melt the coconut oil, if needed, and combine ingredients in a dark glass bottle, preferably one with a dropper. Shake well to combine. Put 3–5 drops onto your finger and pat into the skin around your eyes before bed. If you add the vitamin E capsule, you’ll need to shake before each use
Notes
For the eye serum, you can add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa butter to the recipe if you prefer a more solid cream. Cocoa butter is another major moisturizer and can make it easier to apply (it won’t slide around as much).
