I celebrated my fortieth birthday this year. I decided that this is the year to upgrade the way that I moisturize my face. I researched various carrier oils and essential oils and created this awesome homemade organic firming anti-aging face serum. This organic face serum is easy to make and works great!
In less than a week I noticed very positive results. My face appeared much more firm and I even appeared well-rested, which I can assure you that I am not! I highly recommend making your own organic facial serum, it saves you money and is fun to do.
Last year my face cleansing routine was cleansing using the oil cleanse method (OCM) and then I would slather Vitamin E Oil
Face Serum Indgredients
These are the ingredients that I chose to use in this homemade facial serum (I use all organic ingredients):
Rosehip Oil
increases collagen production. It also brightens and tightens the skin! Rosehip oil helps restore skin’s elasticity, fade age spots, reduce broken capillaries, and balance oil glands. It is very beneficial to dry, irritated and mature skin.
Sweet Almond Oil
Cypress Oil
Frankincense Oil
Geranium Oil
Carrot Seed Oil
Hot to Make Homemade Anti-Aging Face Serum
- 2 Tablespoons of Rosehip Oil
- 2 Tablespoons of Sweet Almond Oil
- 10 drops of Cypress essential oil
- 10 drops of Geranium essential oil
- 7 drops of carrot seed oil
- 7 drops of frankincense oil
- I use all organic ingredients.
- Mix all ingredients in a glass bottle. You can use this serum morning and night. Like all serums, less is more. It only takes a small amount to cover your entire face and neck.
This is the type of bottle that I store my face serum in.
So there you have it! A short and very easy recipe that will moisturize, firm the skin and tone. It’s an awesome anti aging serum that I’m sure you are going to love!!
If you do not want to make your own firming anti-aging face serum you can let me make it for you! Hop on over to my Etsy store to check it out.

Hi i am a big fan of your home made anti ageing essential oils ..
Do you have any for brightening and pigmentation?
Hello,
i see that nowadays most skincare brand added Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, if i want to add it into the formula, how much is the proportion i can made a face oil non greasy and easy to absorb?
Do you have a brand of essential oils you love? There are so many companies and their prices range so much, not sure which is best.
I have a local shop that I like to buy from, I can see if there is a link and if so post it here. I don’t buy from the big companies name brand companies, that is just my choice.

Hi Angela. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. As there is a shortage of rosehip oil worldwide, what is the next best carrier oil to substitute it with?
Thank you.
Hi, your recipe looks fab 🙂 is it suitable in the 1st trimester of pregnancy though? Thanks
I am from India. I never know much English. I know Hindi very well. So ignore my mistakes. I had used homemade serum it is good but after apply it on face I feel headache. What can I do.
Meena, I would recommend going through each essential oil, using one per day, morning only and apply 2-3 drops mixed with 6-9 drops of pure carrier oil and massage in face. You may have an allergy to one or more of them and/or are using too many drops of the serum from recipe above. By using each one separately, you can see if either are giving you headache. Even with using the serum, better to mix only 2-3 drops with a pure oil (recommended; for each 1 drop essential oil, add 3 drops carrier oil such as jojoba, coconut, olive oil, etc.). We are directed by essential oil companies and their labels to be cautious about applying the essential oils alone directly to skin because it can cause burns and other irritations. When making the serum above, you can add a pure oil with it, then before each use, flip bottle few times (not shake) to mix. 3 drops pure carrier oil to 1 drop pure essential oil.
Could this be used or mixed into coconut oil and shea butter to be used as a lotion?
Hi I’ve just turned 40 too and still suffer from acne from time to time. What oils do u recommend I use for aging and acne?
How about for under the eye bags
Hi Angela,
I’m glad I came across your blog. I’ve been trying to find an all natural anti aging serum that I can give to my mom. She’s 63, and I’m sure she’ll love this. I will be making one for myself too. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jenny! I hope that you both love it, thank you for stopping by.
Hi Angela,
Thanks for the reply. Mom and I tried your recipe, and we both loved it! Now, Mom’s asking me to make her a whole lot of things, like face masks and body butters haha! But how do I properly store this? And how long can I use this batch? Thanks again!
I made firming oil with your ingredient. Face feels a little tingling and little uncomfortable. Any suggestion for this? Also if I use this in the morning, I’m worried about UV on oil
It sounds like you may be sensitive to one of the oils, I would discontinue use until you find out what one is bothering you.
Thank you SO much for this, I look forward to making it. Does it need to be stored in a refrigerator? How long will it last. Thank you. Warm regards, Rene
Glad you like it! I just keep it in my bathroom, no need to refrigerate. It will last for several months. Enjoy!
Hai angela..may i know shelf life for your diy serum recipe?
Hello!
Rosehip oil makes be break out in acne. ( and I’m 50, lol).
Is there another oil you recommend to replace Rosehip? I’ve heard almond oil was really anti-aging.
Thank you!
