TO MAKE A GLOWING FACIAL SERUM…

Add 28ml of jojoba oil to a glass dropper bottle using a small funnel. Remove the funnel and add 10 drops each of frankincense, geranium and chamomile essential oils. Add another 21ml of jojoba oil using the funnel once again, and gently swirl with an eyedropper to combine. Apply with your fingertips, working upward towards your hairline. Massage with a jade roller for the finishing touch.

TO MAKE A COCONUT TURMERIC FACIAL SCRUB…

In a bowl, add three tablespoons of coconut flour and one teaspoon of turmeric and mix. Slowly add honey until the scrub is semi-dry and make sure it is properly mixed through. To apply, massage into damp skin and wash off.
