Is it ok if use grapeseed oil instead of jojoba oil? What i have now is tea tree, lavender and frankincense e oil is it ok of enough to make a acne face serum?
I like lavender, but not too much. Do you think this would still work if I cut back on lavender and increased frankincense?
You can get rid of lavender essential oil for this recipe if you want to. But make sure you don’t use excessive frankincense essential oil in place of lavender oil. You can increase the proportion of frankincense essential oil by 1 drop if you like. Increased proportion of frankincense essential oil increases the sensitivity to your skin. Do a patch test before using this.
Hye there Mamta. Yyv’s here. thank you for sharing the recipes with us. im glad to have read this as it comes handy. seeing the list of the EO’s, if i were to put only three of them, what would you recommended? and how about the proportion after that? should i reduce the drops based on its properties? as for the carrier oil, i only have apricot in my drawer. will that be good enough? thank you in advance Mamta!!
You can use apricot oil as a carrier oil. The recommended essential oils for this are 10 drops of lavender oil, 5 drops of tea tree and 3 drops of frankincense oil. Mix all these in 10 ml of apricot oil.
Thanks for shariinngg! I’d love to try and make this, I have all the oils EXCEPT for Clove *sigh*. Can I replace it with Nutmeg/Helichrysum? Or is there any other essential oils you recommend?
Hi, I only have lavender, frankincense and grapeseed oil in my ref. Can I create a serum, how many drops do I used to for 10ml bottle. Thank you in advance
Fill 3/4 of the bottle with grapeseed oil, then add 12 drops of lavender oil and 5 drops of frankincense oil. Shake well before every use.
Hi, I’m in my late thirties and recently I’ve started having acne that I thought I’ve gotten rid off since some years back.. I have the following carrier oils.. Almond oil, Jojoba oil, Rose hip oil and Coconut oil.. And I have the following essential oil: lemon, sandalwood, castor, Lavender, neroli, rosemary, tea tree, castor, rose oil.. How do I mix them?
In a 10ml bottle pour 3ml rosehip and jojoba oil each and mix 5 drops of tea tree oil, 5 drops of rose oil, 5 drops of lavender oil and 2 drops of lemon oil.
Hey, m using a 50 ml bottle for making my serum ..since m not able to get a smaller size …do you think it would be okay to do so.
So how and when do you dilute with a carrier oil? In the 15ml bottle do you just add the carrier oil and essential oils? How much carrier oil should be used on an adult for daily use of this serum?
Hi what are the proportions for a 60 ml bottle? I have cedarwood, lavender, and tea tree essential oils and rosehip and hemp seed for carrier oils. Thank you
3/4 bottle should be filled with hemp seed oil and rosehip oil. Then add 7 drops of lavender, 7 drops of tea tree and 5 drops of cedarwood essential oil to prepare this.
Hi Vivilya, Lavender, frankincense, lemon and tea tree oils are great for the acne prone and combination skin. All these oils do work for dark circles except tea tree oil. Do not use tea tree oil for your eye area application, it’s risky but you can apply it to your face. Here is the recipe for dark circle- Take 10ml rosehip oil and add 5 drops lavender oil, 3 drops frankincense and 1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil. Mix all and apply twice. Store it in a dark-colored glass container.
