DIY Antiaging Rosehip + Rose Water Face Serum
Since this oil is oh so fabulous, we wanted to use it to make a serum that not only does incredible things for our skin but smells amazing as well. So, to do that, we’re mixing up a few simple ingredients that you probably already have.
Yield: 8 ounces
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 2-ounce spray bottle or roll-on applicator bottle
Materials
- 1 tablespoon avocado, almond, or jojoba oil
- 1 tablespoon rose water (find our rose water DIY here)
- 25–30 drops rosehip seed oil
- 2 drops ylang ylang essential oil (optional)
- 3 drops geranium essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bottle and shake well to combine. If the mixture isn’t fragrant enough for you, add more rose water, or you can even add a few drops of geranium or ylang ylang essential oils. That’s the beauty of DIY—tailoring any recipe to suit you.
- Shake well before each use, and apply this super moisturizing serum on your face at night after cleansing and first thing in the morning. You can also put the serum in a mister bottle and mist your face throughout the day to alleviate dry skin.
Notes
Summer tip: keep the mister bottle in the fridge! This does two really important things—first, how good does a cold spray feel on a hot summer day? Amazing, right? Secondly, keeping this solution cold ensures that it stays fresher longer—and at its most potent for your skin.
