Vegetable oil is an excellent source of moisturizing and nourishment for your skin.

This serum can be used as a nourishing moisturizer before going to bed, as a facial oil for self massage, and as a facial mask using the ODT method.

In addition, simply by changing to a different vegetable oil or essential oil you can make facial oils or body oils too.
