Day Facial Serum

Simplicity is how I describe about my skincare routines. As working parent, I have really limited time to spend on skincare. But I'm willing to spend time for skincare formulation. Once I find the formula for my skin type which is sensitive and dry, I think that is a great success. This takes time of course. Lots of trial and error. With determination, Insha Allah, we will find a good working formula.

I started using this serum since June 2017. I had very sensitive skin with acne, blackhead, dark spot, uneven skin tone since teenager, not to mention the open pores. After 9 months applying the serum, I noticed my skin has a lot less acne and blackhead. I also noticed my face has better skin tone. Dark spots and old scars still there with some have lighten up. The serum has sunscreen protection which came from Carrot Seed EO and VCo.

So now let me share with you my simple formula for day facial serum.

Steps

Frankincense Essential Oil and Carrier Oil (Frank Drop)

I love this Frankincense essential oil due to its many health benefits. This oil has an earthy, balsamic aroma that is highly revered and known for a broad range of uses such as in skincare.

According to Dr Axe, "Frankincense has the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elasticity, defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes, and appearance as someone ages. It may help tone and lift skin, reduce the appearance of scars and acne, and heals wounds. It may also be beneficial for fading of stretch marks, surgery scars or marks associated with pregnancy, and for healing dry or cracked skin." Please read more here.

I like to use Frankincense EO blend in carrier oil such as Virgin Coconut Oil (VCo). I call this Frank Drop Carrier Oil or just Frank Drop. I do not apply the oil neat because for me it's quite strong to apply by itself. Our skin will absorb the oil better if we dilute the EO with carrier oil such as VCo, Jojoba oil, Argan oil and others.

I often mix the Frank Drop with other EO such as Lemon EO when I clean my face. For Day Serum, I mix Frank Drop with Carrot Seed EO or Geranium EO. Love Love Love Geranium EO for its flower scent and benefits to the skin. For Night Serum, sometimes I just apply the Frank Drop or mix with Lemon EO for spot treatment such as scar and ageing spot.

You may find the Frank Drop recipe below. Have it a try and post some feedback!

Frank Drop Carrier Oil

Ingredients
30 Drop Frankincense Essential Oil
25 ml Virgin Coconut Oil (VCo)
1 Amber Glass Bottle 30 ml with Dropper

Steps

1. Wash the bottle with warm/hot water. Let it dry.
2. Pour half of the VCo into the bottle. 
3. Drop Frankincense EO.
4. Pour the remaining VCo.
5. Lightly shake the bottle to blend EO and carrier oil.

There are about 240 drops of EO in a 15ml bottle. EO normally comes in 15ml or 5ml bottle. SO here we can get 8 bottle of 30ml rank Drop.

Say 1 bottle of Frank Drop can last for a month....I believe it's worth the money considering the health benefits this oil could offer!

The Lush Body Butter

Our body needs the love and care. Spoil it and massage every inch of the skin with this lush body butter, freshly scented with the therapeutic lavender essential oil. You will love it!

I use same formula for balm except I exclude Step #6. For Lip balm, I add some natural lip liquid made of Iron Oxide and Castor Oil. Then a few drops of Peppermint essential oil. You will love the freshness feeling when you apply the lip gloss. Sometimes I add just a bit on my cheeks for a fresh look.
