Why You’ll Love It

Ingredients

  • Jojoba Oil (the perfect lightweight, skin-mimicking oil)
    Shop Jojoba Oil
    2 teaspoons

  • Rosehip Oil (brightens, evens tone, and helps with pigmentation)
    Shop Rosehip Oil
    1 teaspoon

  • Hemp Seed Oil (rich in omega fatty acids, calms inflammation)
    Shop Hemp Seed Oil
    1 teaspoon

  • Vitamin E Oil (antioxidant and preservative boost)
    Shop Vitamin E Oil
    3–4 drops

  • Lavender Essential Oil (optional, for calming scent and skin-soothing properties)
    Shop Lavender Essential Oil
    1 drop (optional)


How to Make

  1. Sanitise a small glass dropper bottle (20–30ml) and allow it to dry.

  2. Measure all carrier oils (jojoba, rosehip, hemp seed) into a clean mixing bowl or directly into your bottle using a small funnel.

  3. Add vitamin E oil and lavender essential oil (if using).

  4. Mix or swirl gently to combine.

  5. Label your bottle with the date and ingredients.


How to Use

  • After cleansing and toning, place 2–3 drops of your DIY serum in your palm.

  • Gently press or massage into damp face and neck.

  • Follow with moisturiser if desired.

  • Use morning and/or night for best results.


Why This Works

  • Jojoba Oil: Mimics skin’s natural sebum, balances and hydrates.

  • Rosehip Oil: Brightens skin, reduces scars and pigmentation.

  • Hemp Seed Oil: Soothes redness, supports barrier, and adds lightweight hydration.

  • Vitamin E: Protects against environmental stress and oxidation.

  • Lavender Oil: Adds a relaxing scent and soothes irritation.


Tips

  • Always patch test new formulations on your inner arm before applying to your face.

  • Store your serum in a cool, dark place and use within 3–6 months.

  • You can swap lavender oil for Frankincense or Geranium Essential Oil for a different aroma and added benefits.
