DIY Dandelion Serum: A Natural Boost for Hydrated, Glowing Skin
When it comes to skincare, nature provides some of the most powerful ingredients. Dandelions, often dismissed as simple weeds, are actually packed with skin-loving benefits. These golden blooms are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory properties, making them perfect for a nourishing facial serum.
Our Dandelion Serum is designed to hydrate, soothe, and revitalize your skin—giving you a radiant glow while helping to combat dryness, irritation, and signs of aging. Plus, it pairs beautifully with a gua sha stone for an extra luxurious skincare ritual.
Why Use Dandelion for Skin?
Dandelions offer incredible skin benefits:
✔ Deep Hydration – Locks in moisture and softens skin.
✔ Soothes Irritation – Perfect for sensitive or inflamed skin.
✔ Fights Acne – Naturally antibacterial to help prevent breakouts.
✔ Brightens & Tones – Encourages skin cell regeneration for a fresh glow.
✔ Reduces Fine Lines – Antioxidants help fight signs of aging.
Now, let’s dive into making your very own dandelion-infused serum!
How to Make Dandelion Serum
Ingredients:
- 3 cups dried dandelions (harvest fresh and dry them yourself)
- Optional: 2 cups organic dandelion root (adds extra skin-healing benefits)
- Carrier oils – We recommend jojoba and rosehip oil for their lightweight, deeply nourishing properties.
Instructions:
-
Harvest & Dry Your Dandelions
- Pick fresh dandelions and lay them out in a sunny window for about one week until they are completely dry. This step is crucial to prevent moisture from spoiling the oil infusion.
-
Prepare the Infusion
- Place the dried dandelions into a sanitized mason jar.
- If using, add dried dandelion root for extra benefits.
- Pour your carrier oil (jojoba + rosehip) over the dandelions, ensuring they are fully submerged.
-
Infuse in Sunlight
- Seal the jar and place it on a sunny windowsill for two weeks.
- Shake the jar gently every couple of days to help the infusion process.
-
Strain & Bottle
- After two weeks, strain out the dandelions using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Pour the infused oil into a clean glass dropper bottle for easy use.
How to Use Dandelion Serum
✔ Apply daily after cleansing to lock in moisture and nourish the skin.
✔ Works beautifully as a gua sha oil—massage it into the skin while using a gua sha stone for lymphatic drainage and a lifted, sculpted glow.
✔ Use on dry patches, minor skin irritations, stretch marks, or even inflamed joints for soothing relief.
