For skin that requires a little extra nourishment and moisture, green tea skin care formulations can offer gentle, yet stimulating, hydration support. This skin serum recipe infuses the benefits of green tea leaves into organic olive oil and brings in the goodness of select essential oils for a pampering and beautifully scented blend. This particular recipe is suitable for a wide range of folks, and many find it light enough to use on the face before bed, in the morning, or both. It is also generally friendly to mature or sensitive skin, as the essential oil ratio is quite low.
You'll notice that this recipe makes approximately one cup of serum, which is quite a bit! You can divide the batch up between friends if you plan to primarily use it on the face, or you can use it as a whole body oil during seasons or occasions when you're bothered by overall skin dryness. The recipe is also easy to reduce, if you’d like to make a smaller amount. The first step is to create an infused oil.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups infused oil.
