DIY Facial Serums & Skin-Types

Facial Serum for Scar Treatment
Scars caused by acne-prone skin is one of the toughest to get around. I know, it's tiring. No matter what product you buy, the scars have a personality of their own and demand its presence on the face! The hardest part is, we might get carried away. We end up buying so many expensive products, from retinol serums to extremely thick foundations, just to conceal, hide and suppress what is on the surface. I know you are trying to do what's best for you, but the reality is, it will make matters worse. Scar treatment is a long process of healing. Sometimes the best thing we can do is take a step back, and let the skin do it's job. To treat scarred skin, look out for stimulating essential oils that promote local blood flow and skin-cell regeneration, such as rosemary, lavender and frankincense essential oil. Dry, versatile and fast absorbing carrier oils are best for these skin-type, so that the oils protect the surface of the skin, while also penetrating into the deeper layers for skincare treatment, acne prevention and regeneration.
Ingredients:- 10 ml evening primrose oil
- 10 ml jojoba oil
- 8 ml grapseed oil
- 2 drops rosemary essential oil
- 2 drops lavender essential oil
- 2 drops frankincense essential oil

To use the facial serum: massage 2 drops of the anti-scarring blend on the face, stretching and massaging the skin from the inner to the outer part of the face. Repeat this motion until you feel the oils are absorbed.
