Today we’re making our own luxe face oil with this DIY Glow Serum!

So many skin supporting essential oils (EOs) are teaming up in this simple blend that can be used morning and night. They’re the real superstars of this oil and the hero ingredients in many of my fave luxe skincare products.

We’re using 3 essential oils in this – two single essential oils and one blend with multiple oils in one. That third one is like a shortcut – perfect for anyone new to essential oils or who is still building their collection.

All three of the EOs you need come in your starter kit, so if you’ve scooped up one of these from me recently – you’ve already got what you need to make this radiant skin oil!

This DIY Glow Serum uses essential oils known for their skin support benefits, including:

• Lavender – calming & healing for all skin types, promotes clear skin, gently moisturizing
• Frankincense – I use it for fine lines, great for all skin types especially mature/ aging skin
• Geranium – potent powerhouse, great for oily or dry skin, promotes smooth & toned skin
• Blue Tansy – the darling of luxe skincare, promotes radiant skin & is very balancing

What carrier oils are best to use with my essential oils?

Use a quality carrier oil to dilute your essential oils for topical use – preferably organic, cold-pressed, unrefined oils. Think of carrier oils as a way to help your EOs absorb better into your skin. A good carrier oil maximizes your essential oil’s potential benefits and dilutes them to a non-irritating concentration. 

This recipe uses jojoba oil – which is a very face friendly oil that absorbs fairly quickly. Making it easy to apply and wear under makeup. You can use it alone or wear it with another moisturizer if you have very dry skin or are experiencing dry conditions where you live.

Jojoba oil is considered a non-comedogenic oil – meaning it won’t clog your pores the way that a comedogenic oil (like coconut oil) might when applied to the face. A good general rule I use is to only use fractionated coconut oil to body products, and use jojoba for the face.

Here’s a few other face friendly carrier oils you could swap for jojoba oil:

• Argan oil = my recommendation for anyone with oily or breakout prone skin, absorbs very fast, lightweight, non-comedogenic, and rich in Vitamin E
• Rosehip Oil = my personal favorite, I tend to do half jojoba oil and half rosehip seed oil in my homemade face serums since it’s rich in omegas + antioxidants, very restorative
• Pomegranate Seed Oil = my choice for dry, aging or mature skin, rich in fatty acids, moisturizing, you can blend this with jojoba and/or rosehip for a rich does-it-all blend

Where can I get quality carrier oils & the dropper bottles?

I got my jojoba oil and these 1 oz bottles from amazon! Check your local health food store’s beauty and personal care section too. They very often carry carrier oils.

Make sure you’re getting a quality carrier oil to pair with your pure EOs – for jojoba oil look for organic, cold-pressed, unrefined, and it’s natural golden color. If your jojoba oil is clear – you know something’s up in how that was processed.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PURE ESSENTIAL OILS?

If Free Your Fork had a motto it would be “quality matters”. So I like to source products and ingredients – food, beauty, home cleaning, personal care, etc – from companies that are in line with that same belief. I only use pure essential oils on my skin.

Many “pure essential oils” you can buy at the store are diluted with things like coconut oil, which is not very face friendly. Or contain the kind of preservatives or synthetic fragrances that you may not be happy to put on your skin every day.

I source all my essential oils from one trusted place – Young Living. They never use fillers or add synthetic chemicals in their oils. So what you’re getting is only the good stuff – pure, potent, essential oils.

I really dig their:

• Seed to Seal promise
• Commitment to consumer safety (in-house and third party testing)
• Radical ingredient transparency (ethical sourcing, trusted farms, full ingredient lists)
