自製清爽無油保濕青春露 | DIY Anti Aging Wrinkle Treatment Essence
I’m surprised by how tender and silky smooth my skin feels after applying this essence. It’s a different kind of tenderness compared to after using an exfoliating acid like AHA or BHA. My skin feels supple and replenished, almost as if I just had a hydrating ultrasonic facial.
Day and night, I use this essence after an AHA/BHA toner and before any of my DIY serums. I find my makeup sits better with this added step. It has also become my favorite potion to use with sheet masks.
I’ve decided not to put any oil or humectant like glycerin or propanediol. I’ve also opted out of collagen powder, which I generally like to use in serums to give a little plumpness to the texture. I’m genuinely pleased with the results. However, since there’s only water and nutrients in this solution, powders don’t suspend as well and may sink to the bottom. Just give it a little shake before use.
I’ve never been a fan of Q10’s obnoxiously vibrant orange color in my skincare. Therefore, I’ve added some green tea extract which is brown, to mute the brightness and adding anti-oxidant properties at the same time.
