How to Make Your Own Face Serum

It makes sense that people with dry skin need to use something to moisturize their face, but did you know that some studies suggest that people with oily or combination skin may be producing too much oil because the skin is not getting enough moisture and the skin makes up for it by producing more oil?

When we wash our face, we often strip our skin of the natural oils (sebum).  By using a face serum (natural oils blended with essential oils), we are replenishing the natural oils on our face.

Face serums are lightweight moisturizers that penetrate deeper to deliver active ingredients into your skin.
