DIY Anti-Aging Cream Serums – Day & Night Formulas

2 Comments

I used to pay a TON for anti-aging face creams. Even in my 20’s, I was trying to defy the clock before it defied me.

In fact, one that I used – VERY expensive high-end brand that shall remain nameless, gave me a horrible rash.

On my face.

Not a good look.

So now, I just stick to what I know – all natural ingredients that support super healthy skin that gets better with age.

If there is such thing as the fountain of youth, this is it. 

And because I like variety – I use two versions of this: one for day (that has SPF coverage) and one for night (that does not).

I’ve even converted my mom – a lifelong Estee Lauder junkie – to replace her expensive creams for this. Until I showed her just how easy it is to make this (if you’ve got 30 seconds, you’ve got no excuses), she’d show up at my house with her empty bottle asking for a refill.

This face serum has the added benefit of Lavender and Frankincense essential oils – and let me tell you, these two essential oils are the dynamic duo when it comes natural skin care. 

Benefits of Lavender for Skin Health

Frankincense & Lavender #Skin Health BenefitsLavender has been referred to as the “Swiss Army Knife” of essential oils. For good reason. It literally does it all. But for purposes of this awesome homemade loose powder recipe, it glows (literally and figuratively). 

Toning: Lavender tones and firms your skin as it boosts circulation, which results in an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrition to the skin cells. This helps to keep cells healthy and boost the renewal process.

Detoxifying: Unless you live in a bubble, environmental toxins and other pollutants that our skin is exposed to on a daily basis are unavoidable. Lavender contains powerful antioxidants that can fight against the harmful effects of pollutants on the skin.

Benefits of Frankincense for Skin Health

Frankincense was valued more than gold in ancient times – for good reason. Besides being amazing for overall wellness, when it comes to skin health, it tones and tightens skin, supports the regeneration of healthy cells while also keeping existing cells and tissues healthy, and supports the skin’s natural response to aging. 

Can I get an amen? 

Now the thing to remember is this…not all essential oils are created equal. Many that you get in the health food store or Amazon could potentially be cut with synthetics – which is why the prices vary so greatly. This not only sucks because you THINK you’re getting something super awesome (and you’re not), BUT it can also be really dangerous. I’ve heard horror stories (including a very close friend of mine) of people having reactions to essential oils purchased from “reputable” sources. 

Like my food, I want to know exactly where my oils are coming from – especially since I’m using them on my children, on my body, and for therapeutic purposes – not just to make my dish soap smell nice. This is the only brand of essential oils that I trust and use with my family. The bonus – I get them at wholesale – a whopping 24% off! 

And the good news?

Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional health practices for its cleansing, immune-boosting properties, and powerful antioxidant properties. In fact, one drop taken daily can help maintain healthy immune function – and it can be taken more frequently when seasonal threats are high or as needed to further support the immune system. In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion and healthy respiratory function.
