Scar fading serum and licorice mask

- Hemp seed or pumpkin seed oil - helichrysum essential oil - bearberry extract - a glass bottle

Instructions - in a small glass bottle, mix 20 drops of helichrysum essential oil and 30 drops of bearberry extract, then pour your base oil of choice and seal, shake gently before use. it should be left in a cool, dark area.

Licorice Mask

-Applied before scar serum- done every other day for 30 mins or longer if desired)

- Licorice extract- non alcohol based (I use the stuff made with glycerin bc the alcohol would affect the chemistry of the herb and thus how it works when applied to skin)

- rice flour, a heaping teaspoon

Instructions - I use my eyes to gage how much licorice bc the bottle I use has a dropper included, I’d say enough drops to make a paste with the rice flour (so about 30 drops?) The paste should be viscous enough to stay on your skin without it dripping and as it dries it shouldn’t slip from your face anyway.

After 30 mins (i sometimes leave it on for longer and have had no issues with irritation) rinse with lukewarm water.

These two methods and ingredients have really improved the overall look and feel of my skin and I think they’ll help anyone, especially my black and dark brown folks with skin issues relating to acne, discoloration, scars, and sensitivity.
