What Is The Role Of Essential Oil In DIY Face Serum For Acne

DIY face serum for acne contains only two types of oils- essential oils and carrier oils. so, what is essential and carrier oils?

The essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted. An oil is “essential” in the sense that it contains the “essence of” the plant’s fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived.

It goes without saying that essential oils smell great. They not only help you relax but have significant benefits for the skin too. The oils hydrate and heal your skin without clogging the pores. Plus, they help deal with many skin conditions – from acne, dryness, aging to excessive oil.

A carrier oil is a vegetable oil—such as coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil—is used to dilute essential oils before they are applied to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. They are so named because they carry the essential oil onto the skin. It ensures that essential oils applied topically are comfortable to the skin.

My Experience With DIY Face Serum For Acne

I usually purchase personal care products with all natural ingredients. One day I went to a store to purchase my face wash product. In the store, I noticed the alternative, the all natural products, which used essential oils.

I found these products worked just as well and marked the beginning of my love for essential oils. I got the idea on the internet that essential oils are a panacea that can replace every modern medicine, both over the counter and prescription.

Using Essential oils you have to be patient as it takes the time to show their power over your skin. I am using these oils for several years and I can see the effect on my skin. My skin has become softer and less problematic as my skin is acne prone and a combination type of skin. I  get no further breakouts and my dry parts of my face feel hydrated.

My DIY face serum for acne is also reducing dark circle around my eyes and helps me fading dark acne spots. If some essential oil is blended with other essential oils, it becomes more effective on skin because you will get many benefits from different oils in one application.

In all actuality, you just have to buy a carrier oil, to begin with, and test it on your face. See if your skin loves the base oil you choose, and then you can build on that.

Your carrier oil is the main ingredient in your facial oil blend. My two favorite carrier oils are argan oil and/or jojoba oil because they’re both very healing and nourishing, they’re both very light and they sink into your skin without any feeling of greasiness, and they’re great for all skin types.

I use this facial serum at night to rejuvenate and heal my skin. At daytime, I use my diy aloe vera acne gel which really works for me and helps my skin to get rid of acne.

Since I have started to use the 100% pure carrier and essential oil for my skin, I think I will never turn to synthetic cosmetics that contain toxic chemicals and filler ingredients ever again.

List Of Carrier Oils Can Be Used To Make DIY Face Serum For Acne

(This is not an exhaustive list, but it’s most of ’em):

• Argan oil – great for dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin


• Jojoba oil – great for dry, aging, oily, normal, or acne-prone skin


• Apricot kernel oil – great for normal, dry, and aging skin


• Sweet almond oil – just an all-around great facial oil for all skin types, but it takes a bit longer to “sink in” than the first two.


• Grapeseed oil – great for normal, oily, or acne-prone skin


• Avocado oil – great for dry and aging skin


• Hemp seed oil – great for any skin type, also very light

Plan on your carrier oil for at least 95-98% of your facial serum mixture (we’ll talk about mixing at the end).

I am sharing the recipe of essential oils that I am using for several months (Of course with some moderation, it takes time to know your skin needs) from which I got a problem free skin. I use some of the essential oils mixed with my favorite carrier oil.

These essential oils are the oils that are a little more pricey, but with that price tag comes a beautiful kick in the pants to your troubled skin. Remember! You only need a couple of tiny drops of essential oil to get an amazing benefit for your skin. Essential oils are potent (and they last forever when you use them this way)!
