DIY Turmeric Serum
Firstly we will make Turmeric Oil:
You’ll Need:
- 2 cups extra virgin coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons turmeric root, grated
- Pour the coconut oil over low heat in a medium saucepan.
- Add the freshly grated turmeric root as soon as it is melted and mix well.
- It is better to use fresh turmeric root because if you use normal turmeric, the chances of getting a yellow tint are high.
- Using raw turmeric root will not stain your skin much.
- Continue to mix and remove from the heat for a few minutes, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature for a few minutes.
- Pour the turmeric-infused oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bottle.
- Keep it in a cool, dry spot.
- You may use this as an essential oil on its own, but the recipe below goes well with it.
Next, we will make the serums.
You’ll Need:
- 3-4 tablespoons organic aloe vera gel
- 5 drops turmeric oil
- 1 Teaspoon Vitamin E oil
- 1 Teaspoon Vegetable Glycerin
- In a small mixing bowl, add the aloe vera gel and turmeric oil and mix well.
- Once well combined, add the vitamin E oil and add the vegetable glycerin, and again mix it well.
- Once all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, add the mixture to a dark glass dropper bottle.
- Store this serum in a cool, dry place.
- Now it is ready to use, use 2-3 drops on your cleansed face before bedtime.
Since turmeric oil has a subtle orange tinge, consider sleeping with a towel on your pillow, or simply use a pillowcase that you don’t care about.
