How to Get Started

Ingredients

Gather your essential oils, carrier oils, and natural preservatives before beginning. For a basic facial serum, you'll need 30ml of jojoba oil, 5 drops of lavender essential oil, 3 drops of frankincense, and 2 drops of geranium. Store all ingredients in dark glass bottles away from direct sunlight. Ensure oils are therapeutic-grade and sourced from reputable suppliers. Check expiration dates before use. Keep a detailed inventory of your ingredients for batch tracking and quality control.

Safety & Precautions

Always perform a patch test 24 hours before applying any DIY formula to your face. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to skin. Pregnant women and children should consult healthcare providers before use. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.

Tips

How to Use Your Personalised Skincare Set

Here’s how to use your personalised set for glowing, calm, healthy skin — without the stress.

Step 1 – Mist: To Prep & Hydrate

Spritz your face with your chosen botanical mist to awaken and balance your skin. This gentle step helps soothe sensitivity, tighten pores, and infuse instant hydration — preparing your skin to fully absorb your oils.
💧 Tip: Keep your mist in the fridge for a refreshing morning boost or post-workout cool-down.

Step 2 – Add Your Oils & Glow: To Nourish & Restore

Add just 10 drops of your essential oil blend to your face oil bottle (only once per bottle). Shake gently to combine.
Massage a few drops into your face, neck, and décolletage while your skin is still damp from misting — allowing the oils to lock in hydration and deeply nourish your skin barrier.

💆‍♀️ Tip: Use slow, upward strokes or a gua sha for a calming facial ritual that supports circulation and glow.

Step 3 – Rest & Rebalance: To Calm & Protect

Let your blend absorb naturally — no rush, no stress. Your oils continue working while you rest, helping calm inflammation, support cell renewal, and leave skin soft, dewy, and radiant.

🕯️ Tip: Breathe deeply while applying — your essential oils also calm the mind through the limbic system, creating a mini mindfulness moment.

Skincare Tips for Best Results

✨ Use morning and evening for consistent hydration and balance.
🌿 Always apply oils to damp skin after misting to seal in moisture.
💧 Store your blends in cool, dark places to protect their potency.
🩵 Patch test before first use — especially if you’re blending new essential oils.
🌙 Allow your evening ritual to signal “rest mode” — your skin regenerates best at night.

DIY Skincare FAQ

How long do DIY formulas last?

Most DIY skincare formulas last 3-6 months when stored properly in dark glass bottles away from heat and direct sunlight. Essential oils naturally preserve formulas, but adding a natural preservative extends shelf life (witch hazel). Always label with creation date and discard if you notice changes in colour, scent, or consistency. Refrigeration can extend longevity for water-based formulas.

Can I use these formulas if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, but start with lower essential oil concentrations and always patch test first. Dilute oils more generously in carrier oils and introduce one new ingredient at a time. If you have conditions like eczema or rosacea, consult a dermatologist before use. Our tutorials include sensitivity modifications for each formula.

Where should I source ingredients?

Purchase therapeutic-grade essential oils from certified suppliers with third-party testing. Carrier oils should be cold-pressed and organic. We recommend B Calm oils that provide detailed sourcing information and purity certifications for maximum quality and safety. email hello@bcalm.co.uk for more information.
