  1. Mix base oil (avocado) and premium oil (emu) in a glass bottle.
  2. Shake well, then add in myrrh essential oil (and a few drops of tea tree oil if desired).
  3. Close the bottle and shake again to combine all ingredients.
  4. Store the bottle in a cool place without direct sunlight.

Application:

  1. Apply the serum after cleansing and toning your face.
