How To Do The Best Homemade Anti Aging Serum

Are you tired of spending a lot of money on anti-wrinkle creams or serums? You don’t necessarily find them very effective and you wonder what they contain…

So why not make your own anti-wrinkle treatment?

This is what I propose here, by giving you the recipe for the best diy anti aging serum.

I came up with this recipe myself, drawing on my knowledge of Ayurvedic oils, especially amla, the Indian gooseberry.

In this article, you will learn:

• why choose a serum instead of a cream.
• why make your own anti-wrinkle serum.
• what you will need.
• what oils and products to use and why.
• the recipe.
• the result on my skin and what you can expect.

This recipe is perfect for those like me who already use amla oil for hair care. I will tell you for each oil what other uses you can make of it.

Anti-wrinkle cream or serum?

More and more of us are using an anti-wrinkle serum rather than an anti-aging cream.

The reason is simple: the serum is much more concentrated in active products and therefore more effective.

Of course, you can combine the two and apply a cream after your serum. However, I don’t really see the point if your serum is targeting all the problems you want to treat.

Which anti-aging serum for the face?

There are two types of serum:

• the aqueous serum (mostly water).
• the oily serum, made from vegetable and essential oils.

This is an oily serum that I suggest you make yourself. As for the hair, I prefer an oily care, which nourishes more!

Beware: that doesn’t mean the feeling on the skin is oily. The oils I use are not very oily as I don’t like this oily feeling on my skin…

Why make a homemade anti-wrinkle treatment?

Making your own natural anti wrinkle product has many advantages:

• Finding the best anti-wrinkle or anti-aging serum in the market is a real headache. All brands claim to have THE miracle anti wrinkle remedy…
• Once you have found the anti-wrinkle cream or serum that works for your skin, it is not uncommon to see it replaced on the market by another formula.
• You know exactly the composition of your serum.
• You can make a natural anti wrinkle serum, without adding anything else.
• By adapting this recipe little by little, you will be able to make the best anti-wrinkle product adapted to YOUR skin, its needs and its specific problems.
• This will cost you much less than commercial products.

What utensils do you need?

You don’t need to make a big investment and can do perfectly well with the resources available at home.

Required oils.

You will mainly need vegetable oils and essential oils.

Which vegetable oils and why?

Click on the name of the oil to order it directly on Amazon (pure amla oil is only sold on Amazon).

The quantities are indicated for a bottle of approximately 50ml.

• Jojoba oil (about 20ml): deeply nourishes the skin, prevents dehydration, balances sebum, softens and soothes sensitive skin, protects against external aggressions, regenerates and helps keep skin firm. No greasy film, penetrates the skin well and leaves it very soft. You can find all the virtues of jojoba oil in this article. Jojoba oil is ideal to replace your usual makeup remover. Use it pure and on a cotton pad in this case. You can also use it alone to soften your hands.
• Amla oil (about 10ml), my favorite oil since 2012 and the one used by Indian women – and me – for our hair. Amla is the food with the most antioxidants in the world. It is therefore a powerful natural anti wrinkle. I won’t go over its many benefits for the skin. You can read my full article on the subject here. Amla oil is the best oil for hair. Use it in this case alone, by applying a few drops on the roots and lengths, making a light massage.
• Argan oil (about 10ml). Argan oil strengthens the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. Find all the virtues of argan oil here. Argan oil is ideal to prevent stretch marks in pregnant women and acne.
• Rosehip oil (about 10ml): accelerates cell regeneration, reduces scars and brown spots. All the virtues of rose hip oil can be found here. Rosehip oil is ideal against eczema or psoriasis and couperose.

These four oils are thus perfectly complementary and act in synergy.

Which essential oils and why?

In addition to these 4 vegetable oils, I add a few drops of essential oil (not more than 2% of the preparation, knowing that 1ml = about 40 drops):

• Essential oil of rose geranium (14 drops), for its sublime, very feminine and sensual scent, its regenerating, astringent, purifying and anti-inflammatory properties. Ideal to perfume the face and enjoy a long time the perfume of your serum. Rose geranium oil is also ideal for keeping mosquitoes away.
• Carrot essential oil (6 drops), ideal for skin that tends to be red or reactive, age spots and pigmentation, to give a healthy glow.

Keep this ratio well, with more geranium oil. Carrot oil has a strong smell, not necessarily very pleasant and should be diluted to 0.8% of the preparation only.

What other ingredients (optional)?

Since I had these products on hand, I added them to my serum. However, I am more skeptical about their benefits, especially for the hyaluronic acid.

• Hyaluronic acid
• Vitamin E to preserve the serum.

Best anti aging serum recipe.

Result on my skin of my DIY natural anti-ageing serum.

Amla oil is, in my opinion, the best anti-wrinkle facial oil. By incorporating it with oils with which the synergy is strengthened, I have obtained excellent results:

• My skin no longer feels tight, which indicates that it is properly nourished.
• I no longer have a warming sensation – reactive skin – in my cheeks.
• The skin on my face feels extremely soft and stays that way all day. Since I use this serum morning and night, my skin is soft when I wake up.
• My skin looks more rested when I wake up. My wrinkles are no longer more apparent when I wake up.
• I don’t have the redness that I sometimes have in my cheeks.
• My wrinkles seem less visible.
• I have not yet noticed any effect on my brown spots, as my face has taken on a tan in the mountains.
• Thanks to the jojoba oil and the regulation of my sebum, the pores of my skin are less dilated.

conclusion.

With this recipe of diy anti aging serum, you can create your best homemade anti-aging treatment. Use it as is or adapt it to your particular skin problems. It is also an effective serum for enlarged pores and an anti-spot serum.

Given the vegetal and essential oils I used, this homemade recipe should nevertheless be suitable for many skin types.

Rather than buying an anti-wrinkle cream with essential oils, making your own anti-wrinkle cream allows you to save money, to know its exact composition and to be able to adapt it according to the results and over time.

The ideal way to keep a beautiful skin is also to nourish it from the inside and avoid excess: water, anti-wrinkle foods such as amla tablets, no smoking, avoid alcohol…
