DIY Body Serum

Making your own moisturizer and ditching the store-bought products is one of the best things you can do for your skin health as it likely contains quite a few irritants (fragrance and parabens). Plus, chances are, it may not be doing that great of a job keeping your skin moisturized anyway. Not only will it help your skin look and feel amazing, it will save you some serious money.

Here’s a super easy body oil I make with all organic ingredients, which will not only keep your skin moisturised and supple, but also keeps it healthy by feeding your skin with nutritious ingredients:

Ingredients:

Sweet Almond Oil keeps your skin cells healthy, protects your skin from UV damage, and helps your skin look smooth and soft

Hemp Seed Oil. The linoleic acid and oleic acids found in hemp oil can’t be produced by the body but can play a crucial role in skin health and anti-aging plus the combination of essential fatty acids that it contains is in perfect balance and matches our skin's own natural oils

Frankincense Essential Oil (Bosweilia Carterii) helps protect skin cells. Thanks to frankincense’s cytophylactic properties, it stimulates cell regeneration and also protects older cells from free radical damage.

Copaiba Essential Oil contains large amounts of beta-caryophyllene, a molecule that interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in your skin. This causes skin cells to produce beta-endorphin, one of the happiness hormones.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil alleviates stress, improves mood and enhances libido. It is said to act as a natural insect repellent, promote wound healing, and diminish the appearance of scars when applied to the skin

Method:

Half fill your bottle with the Sweet Almond oil, then pour in about a quarter of the bottle size in Hemp Oil. Add 3 - 5 drops of each essential oil and top up with Sweet Almond Oil.

Apply after shower or bath. Ideally before bathing dry brush yourself using a natural bristle brush then indulge in an Epsom salt bath for at least 2 minutes. Apply oil after bath.
