I've made up a Yoga Basket for the tricky tray tonight. In it, there is a Beauty Serum I made, I love it! I love the smell and the results, I've been getting a lot of great reviews.
A serum is the power house of your skin care regime and packs a powerful punch that delivers results. Massage into skin after washing your face before bed. If your skin is dry, after applying the serum, apply a moisturizer ten minutes after. Sweet Almond Oil is the base oil of this Beauty Serum and some essential oils are added for even more benefit to the skin.
Sweet almond oil is full of vitamins D, E, B1, B2 and B6, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Vitamin E helps fight wrinkles and has a firming effect on the skin. Almond Oil is light and absorbs easily. It helps to purge the pores of impurities therefore helping clear skin. It has anti-inflammatory qualities which help to calm down acne. Using sweet almond oil daily can greatly reduce dark circles under the eyes as well as scars and dark spots. It helps to renew skin cells and rev up circulation. It is wonderful at nourishing dehydrated skin. I believe it is one of the top (if not #1) carrier oils for reversing the signs of age. In fact, it is said to be the closest to the oil found in a babies skin! This Beauty Serum includes the following essential oils:
GERANIIUM
Reduces the appearance of scars
helps bring circulation to the skin
regenerates new skin cells
speeds up healing of wounds
promotes uniform distribution of melanin
This oil is great for someone who has scarring or uneven skin tone. It is a very healing oil that also will take care of the aftermath of any trauma to the face. Geranium is an excellent oil for all skin types-it is a very powerful oil that will facilitate cell turnover helping you have new, young radiant skin.
CYPRESS
Tightens skin
Helps varicose veins and broken capillaries
Helps clear oily and congested skin
Balances overly oily skin
Antibacterial, Anti infectious, Antiseptic, Antimicrobial
Cypress oil’s main function in a skin serum is to firm skin. If you are dry but need tightening I would add Rose oil or Lavender oil to boost moisturizing benefits. This oil is wonderful for aged skin. This oil has such amazing tightening abilities that it is even used to tighten the bladder for people that find themselves urinating too often. Cypress oil’s secondary function is to balance oily skin. Oily and blemished types could use this as well, due to the antibacterial, anti-infectious, antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. It will regulate oil production while clearing pores.
LAVENDER
Antiseptic, Anti-fungal, Antibacterial

Lavender is a universal oil that is great for any and all skin types. No matter what is going on with your skin, lavender is always a good idea. I add it to everything. I love the smell and love how it works with other oils.
