Dealing with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin can often feel like an unsolvable puzzle. Numerous factors contribute to skin issues, and I can relate—during my teenage years, I struggled with severe acne. Hormonal fluctuations, combined with the stress of adolescence, made matters worse. My mother took me to a dermatologist who prescribed antibiotics and Retin-A. While I don’t oppose Retin-A, the antibiotics I took for about a year wreaked havoc on my immune system and gut health, especially since probiotics were virtually unknown at the time. To make matters worse, my acne persisted. If I had understood the significant impact of diet and product choices on my skin, I might have found some relief sooner.
If you’re currently battling acne and relying on antibiotics, I encourage you to reconsider this approach. It’s essential to evaluate your diet and lifestyle, as hormonal imbalances and high-stress levels can severely affect your skin. Remember, skin issues often stem from within. Two simple yet effective steps for healthier skin include drinking plenty of water and ensuring you get at least eight hours of sleep each night. Achieving healthy skin goes beyond just using the right products; it requires a holistic approach.
Today, I want to share a simple serum recipe that serves as an excellent moisturizer for those with oily skin. I recommend cleansing your skin with coconut oil, which may sound counterintuitive, but the principle of “like dissolves like” holds true. Coconut oil is both antibacterial and antimicrobial, boasting remarkable healing properties. It effectively cleanses the skin and even removes eye makeup. For a toner, mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup of distilled water; this will help balance your skin’s pH and remove any leftover makeup. Now, let’s focus on the serum/moisturizer. Simplifying your beauty routine can often lead to a more positive response from your skin, allowing essential oils to work effectively.
Aloe vera gel is lightweight, healing, and non-comedogenic. Melaleuca (tea tree) oil offers antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial benefits, proving to be as effective as benzoyl peroxide but without the side effects. Ylang Ylang helps regulate oil production, while lemongrass possesses anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and regenerative properties, making it an effective acne treatment. Lavender not only calms but also provides antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial Support. I recommend using a 2-ounce glass bottle with a dropper for this serum.
INGREDIENTS:
Preparation:
Keep in mind that beautiful skin starts from within. Aim to drink one quart of water for every 50 pounds of body weight each day, and try to avoid fried foods, fast foods, and sugar. Ensure you get enough sleep—at least eight hours—and find effective ways to manage stress. By addressing lifestyle factors and establishing a skincare routine with organic, chemical-free products, you can achieve clear skin naturally. Remember, blemished skin is often a sign that something is amiss internally. Investigating the root causes of your acne may take some time, but once you identify them, you can effectively address and prevent breakouts for good. Good luck on your journey to clearer skin!

Hi, i recently made a similar serum and added some Optiphen Plus (1% of my total product weight) to it for preservation. Is that okay?
Also is there an ingredient that can be used to bind the Aloe Gel (and Glycerine and Hyaluronic Acid and other liquids) with the oils so they are evenly dispersed and i don\’t always have to shake my bottle before use.
I\’d really appreciate your reply!!
Can you add vegetable glycerin for moisturizing?
