Peach and Cypress Facial Serum
Another recipe for a simple facial serum. This recipe has peach kernel oil and Sea Buckthorn oil. I like peach kernel oil because it is a mild, moisturizing oil, and is readily absorbed into the skin without leaving it oily. I like to use it for skin that is inflamed and both dry and oily at the same time.....a.k.a "combination skin". I used Mountain Rose Herbs Sea Buckthorn oil in this recipe.

| Sea Buckthorn Berries |
According to Mountain Rose Herbs, Sea Buckthorn Oil is a useful, highly prized oil typically used to treat damaged skin. It can be applied directly to the skin or included within skin care preparations that are designed to relieve occasional symptoms of problematic skin conditions. This oil contains essential fatty acids, carotenes, tocopherols, and phytosterols. It is a concentrated oil, and they suggest to use sparingly. The sea buckthorn oil offered by Mountain Rose Herbs was processed by the cold press method of the entire berry with seeds.

| the bright red liquid in the middle is Sea Buckthorn oil. It really should be diluted so you won't stain your skin. |
