Instructions for Preparing the Face Serum:
-
Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your tools, containers, and the serum bottle with isopropyl alcohol. Allow them to air dry completely.
-
Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean glass beaker or bowl, combine the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, and Squalane. Stir gently to mix them well.
-
Add Fat-Soluble Actives: Add Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 to the oil blend. Stir carefully until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Coenzyme Q10 might take a little time to dissolve fully, ensure no颗粒 remain.
-
Incorporate Essential Oils: Finally, add the Iris Essential Oil, Frankincense Essential Oil, and Lavender Essential Oil. Stir gently for several minutes to ensure even distribution of the essential oils throughout the serum.
-
Bottle and Store: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sanitized dark glass dropper bottle.
Recommendations for Use:
-
Dosage: This recipe uses 0.2% Iris Essential Oil, which is within the recommended range for face serums. Adjust the percentage based on desired aroma intensity and skin sensitivity, staying within the 0.05-0.2% guideline for creams and serums.
-
Storage: Store the serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its potency and extend its shelf life. Dark glass bottles help protect light-sensitive ingredients.
-
Application: Apply 2-3 drops of the serum to clean, slightly damp skin (face and neck) morning and night. Gently massage in upward motions until absorbed. Follow with a moisturizer if desired.
-
Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of your skin (e.g., inner forearm) before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies.
-
Shelf Life: With proper storage, this serum should be stable for 6-12 months. Pay attention to changes in scent or texture as an indication of spoilage.
