The Best Vitamin C Serum for Face can be made in the comfort of your own home!
This is an easy home made skin care recipe – a serum or Vitamin C Cream using essential oils and optional beeswax as an emollient to combine the ingredients.
This natural recipe contains essential oils known to be super rich in not only vitamin C, but also essential fatty acids (EFA’s) which help to nourish and protect skin.
Rosehip and carrot seed oil are known for their renewing and repairing properties, they also help to soften and firm skin.
You can also include other essential oils renowned for their antiaging and repairing properties such as Tamanu oil, Frankincense oil, Sea Buckthorn and many others.
The recipe below is a good basic one to make at home with plenty of benefits. The oils we have suggested absorb quickly into skin, you can add 5% wheatgerm and/or avocado if you have drier or more mature skin.
6 drops carrot seed oil. Rich in beta carotene and skin regenerative properties. Carrot seed oil is great for evening out skin tone, softening and smoothing skin. The vitamin A works like commercial retinols to stimulate and rejuvenate your skin. At the same time it fights skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema and other rashes. The formative action on the epidermal cells helps to keep wrinkles at bay and is also helpful for fighting liver (age) spots.
4 drops neroli or frankincense oil. These oils oil regenerate cells and speed up the cell renewal process for brighter younger looking skin. These oils also tighten and firm skin. You can add other oils to boost the serums effectiveness which you can read about on the second half of this post.
1 tsp rosehip oil. Rosehip oil is fast absorbing and is extremely rich in vitamin C helping to remove discoloration (age spots) or sun damage. Vitamin C rich rosehip oil is a luxurious treat for your skin.
8 tablespoons soybean, grape seed, almond or apricot kernel (apricot oil is the lightest followed by almond and soybean). Apricot oil is my favorite for it’s rapid absorption (I have oily skin even in my 40’s) and it leaves your skin feeling soft and youthful. It’s also rich in Vitamins A, C and E, all of which have anti-aging benefits for skin.
If making a lotion add 1 1/2 tablespoons beeswax (to make moisturizer instead of serum) and 1 tsp extra virgin coconut oil (optional)
Melt the last three ingredients together gently in a double boiler until just melted. Stir together until well combined then allow to cool to room temperature before adding the essential oils. You can add more or less beeswax depending on the thickness of the cream you like. Adding two tablespoons would make it quite thick and creamy.
To make a diy vitamin serum
You don’t need to heat the mixture and also you can omit the beeswax – just mix the ingredients together and you’ll have an easy to make Vitamin C serum instead.
Store in a well washed container out of direct sunlight. You can also add a pinch of ascorbic acid to the lotion mix if you like (not the serum) to give it some extra Vitamin C punch!
This recipe gives you approximately a 20% concentration of vitamin C in your serum anyhow which parallels many of the commercial brands vitamin serum C content. And that’s without the ascorbic acid!
Apply approximately 6 to 8 drops of this serum to your skin once to twice daily for smoother more even skin, and fewer wrinkles!
