Homemade skincare recipe

 I love trying to use homemade products for my face. Since, my face breaks out easily. Here is one for Acne scars and helps condition your skin, you can use the blend below or something similar that contains rosehip seed oil. I just made some with Avocado oil along with rosehip to see which oils will work best for me.


1 tsp avocado oil
1 tsp jojoba oil
1 tsp pumpkin seed oil
1/2 tsp rosehip seed oil
2 drops carrot seed essential oil (anti-aging)
5 drops lavender EO(anti-aging and anti-acne)
4 drops lemon EO(anti-aging and anti-acne, also removes dead skin cells)
4 drops geranium EO (anti-aging and balances skin's oil production)

For around the eyes, I use macadamia, which is a very light oil:
2 tsp macadamia nut oil
few drops rosehip seed oil
few drops avocado oil (high in vitamin E)
2 drops lavender EO
1 drop lemon EO

These recipes were based on recipes in the book, The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy by Valerie Worwood.

Any homemade skincare recipes you wold like to share??

Have a Blessed Sunday!!
