I've been switching over to making a lot of my own body products to minimize my exposure to chemicals that have a negative impact on health. One such product is the anti-aging facial serum that I use daily. They're all so expensive, and don't always use the best ingredients, even when you do manage to find ones focused on natural, chemical-free solutions. Side bonus: I tend to get a more effective product and a much lower cost than what's made by commercial companies.

This recipe uses organic rosehip oil as the base, which contains vitamin A, which can benefit the skin by reducing wrinkles, hyperpigmentation. reducing and reversing sun damage, while also treating mild to moderate acne. The vitamin C contained in reship oil may also help reduce ultraviolet light damage caused by free radicals, and also supports collagen productions which helps reduce wrinkles. It also can increase wound healing and help prevent dry skin. More details about rosehip oil benefits.

The essential oils I chose to include also have their own unique benefits. Rose geranium is a known anti-oxidant with anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. It also has anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. More info on benefits of rose geranium essential oil.. Lavender essential oil helps heal acne breakouts, soothes eczema and dry skin and can aid in skin lightening as it reduces inflammation, which is great for people experiencing hyperpigmentation. More info on benefits of lavender essential oil. Carrot seed oil is also anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, antibacterial and anti-fungal. More info on benefits of carrot seed essential oil. Lastly, helichrysum essential oil also helps treat skin inflammation and heal wounds. More info on benefits of helichrysum essential oil.
