4. Essential Oil Anti-Aging Serum

Anti-aging serum is designed to pack the largest concentration of compounds that fight aging and promote the rejuvenation of new skin. Carrot seed oil and myrrh are perfect for these purposes.

Carrot seed oil is rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), known for its use in pharmaceutical-grade anti-aging creams to boost skin cell turnover. By naturally increasing skin cell turnover, carrot seed oil increases the creation of new skin cells and shedding of old ones--a process that slows down with age and causes wrinkling.

The carotenoids in carrot seed oil also protect your skin against free radicals, which damage cells and speed up aging.

Myrrh essential oil is also rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals. Myrrh oil boosts skin circulation, lowers inflammation and reduces wrinkles. It boosts your skin's production of collagen and elastin, which promote elasticity and firmness. Myrrh oil also increases skin cell turnover and promotes an even skin tone.

In this recipe, rosehip seed oil is used as a carrier oil due to its anti-aging properties. This oil is shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and reverse the effects of sun exposure and aging with essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

Combine ingredients in a small dropper bottle or roller bottle and shake before use.
