Yes ๐ธ — if you can get grapeseed oil, that would make your morning serum even better for your skin type ( combination, brightening + anti-aging).
Here’s why:
-
Grapeseed oil is one of the lightest carrier oils, so it absorbs very fast → no greasy feeling, perfect for daytime.
-
It’s rich in linoleic acid + vitamin C-like compounds → helps brighten skin and tighten pores.
-
Balances oily T-zone while still hydrating drier areas → ideal for combination skin.
So compared to only jojoba + rosehip, adding grapeseed will:
✨ Make the serum feel lighter under sunscreen/makeup
✨ Boost brightening & pore-minimizing effect
✨ Keep oil balance better during the day
๐ฟ Improved Morning Glow Serum (with Grapeseed) :: kalau di dalam ruangan boleh. Tapi jangan kena matahari ⛅ ☀️
For 30 ml bottle
-
12 ml Jojoba oil (balances)
-
10 ml Grapeseed oil (lightweight, brightening, pore care)
-
5 ml Rosehip oil (anti-aging, glow)
-
10 drops Vitamin E oil ๐ช ๐ข️ ( tidak direkomendasikan kalau kena sinar matahari langsung karena tipe oilnya lengket / heavy ๐ชจ)
-
3 drops Frankincense essential oil
-
2 drops Lavender essential oil
๐ If you can buy grapeseed, I’d definitely recommend using it in the morning version.
๐ At night, you can skip grapeseed and keep your richer jojoba + rosehip + argan/avocado blend for deep repair.
๐ aman banget pakai jojoba oil + rosehip oil di pagi hari — malah itu salah satu kombinasi terbaik untuk kulit tanpa sunscreen karena dua-duanya:
๐ฟ tidak fotosensitif,
๐ tidak mudah teroksidasi, dan
๐ง ringan tapi tetap melembapkan.
✨ Penjelasan singkat:
1️⃣ Jojoba oil
-
Struktur mirip sebum alami kulit → cepat menyerap, tidak menyumbat pori.
-
Stabil banget terhadap cahaya & panas (nggak mudah tengik).
-
Bikin kulit lembap tapi nggak greasy.
2️⃣ Rosehip oil
-
Kaya vitamin C alami & asam lemak esensial (omega-3, 6).
-
Bantu regenerasi kulit, cerahkan, dan kurangi bekas jerawat.
-
Termasuk dry oil, jadi cepat meresap juga.
Campuran keduanya sangat seimbang:
๐ก jojoba → kelembapan & stabilitas
๐ธ rosehip → nutrisi & perbaikan kulit
๐ก Tips pakai di pagi hari (tanpa sunscreen):
-
Setelah cuci muka, semprot hydrosol atau facial mist (air mawar, atau air biasa pun boleh).
-
Saat wajah masih lembap, teteskan 2–3 tetes campuran jojoba + rosehip di telapak tangan, gosok ringan, lalu tepuk ke wajah.
-
Tunggu 2–3 menit sampai meresap sebelum makeup atau bedak tabur.
๐๐ค Morning Serum (10 ml total):
-
Jojoba oil: 7 ml
-
Rosehip oil: 3 ml
Dua-duanya punya kandungan antioksidan alami (vitamin A dan C dari rosehip, serta stabilitas dari jojoba), jadi cukup melindungi kulit tanpa tambahan vitamin E atau essential oil.
Teksturnya juga ringan dan mudah menyerap — ideal dipakai sebelum makeup atau aktivitas luar ruangan.
Kalau kamu ingin tambahan aroma lembut atau efek soothing ringan, 1 tetes lavender EO masih boleh banget, asal kamu:
-
Tidak akan langsung terkena sinar matahari terik, atau
-
Menggunakan topi/payung saat keluar rumah.

✨ This version is still:

๐ฟ Alternatives if You Don’t Have Certain Ingredients
1. Squalane (light, silky, fast-absorbing)
-
✅ Alternative: Grapeseed oil or Hemp seed oil (both light and good for combination skin).
-
Grapeseed = very light, absorbs quickly, has brightening properties.
-
Hemp seed = balances oily areas while nourishing drier patches.
2. Aloe vera oil
-
Aloe vera “oil” is actually aloe infused in a carrier oil (not the same as fresh aloe gel).
-
✅ Alternative: Jojoba oil (you’ll already have this in base). If you want soothing, you can also add a few drops of calendula oil (gentle and calming).
-
Or just skip it, your serum will still work well.
3. Chamomile essential oil
-
Chamomile is soothing and protective, but not mandatory.
-
✅ Alternative: Lavender essential oil (gentle, calming, anti-redness) – safe in the sun.
-
Or skip it, and just use frankincense.

If you want to refine it a bit, I’d suggest just a few tweaks for professional polish and safety clarity:
-
Safety Note – Essential oils can be irritating if used in higher concentrations. Mention doing a patch test and keeping the dilution below 2%.
-
Clarity on “actives” – Some (like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid) don’t always mix well in oil bases. Maybe recommend buying them in oil-soluble versions or mixing them separately.
-
Smoother Flow – Shorten and tighten some explanations so the reader doesn’t feel overwhelmed.
-
Optional Variations – You might add a quick “example serum blend” so readers see how the ingredients come together.
Here’s a lightly revised version with those refinements:

Technically, yes — you can make a basic serum-like solution with just sugar and water, but it won’t function as a true skincare serum. Here's a breakdown:
๐งช What You'd Be Making:
A sugar-water solution is essentially a simple humectant — meaning it can help draw water into the skin. But:
-
It lacks stability and preservatives, so it can ferment or grow bacteria quickly.
-
It’s not effective long-term and won’t absorb well without other ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or emulsifiers.
๐งด What a Real Serum Contains:
A functional skincare serum typically includes:
| Type | Example Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Humectants | Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, propanediol |
| Actives | Niacinamide, Vitamin C, peptides |
| Preservatives | Phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin |
| Stabilizers & pH balancers | Citric acid, sodium hydroxide |
๐ฏ If You Want a DIY Sugar-Based Serum:
You could make a hydrating mask instead of a serum. Try:
-
Sugar + honey + a bit of boiled water
-
Optional: Add rosewater or aloe vera gel
Use as a short-term moisturizing mask, not a leave-on product.
⚠️ Warning:
A sugar-water mix left on the skin can become sticky, attract bacteria, and cause breakouts if not properly preserved or rinsed.
