Best Essential Oils for Anti-Aging with Roller Bottle Recipe

Essential oils can be a helpful tool in fighting signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Learn about the best essential oils for anti-aging and make your own roller bottle for anti-aging to put the oils to good use!

In the past, I’ve always skipped over anything that said “anti-aging.” But now I’m in my 30s, and even though I still feel great, I am starting to see the benefits of taking preventative measures. 

As we age, our body produces less collagen, and skin cell production slows. This causes wrinkles and fine lines, which are a natural part of aging.

Still, there are things we can do to keep our skin healthy and prevent premature aging! Along with this anti-aging roller bottle, you can learn about my best tips for slowing the signs of aging.

What You’ll Need

Roller bottle: I always use a 10 mL glass amber roller bottle.

Carrier oil: I like to use fractionated coconut oil, but you can use any liquid carrier oil of your choice. You can read about the best carrier oils and choose one that suits your skin type!

Essential oils: A combination of frankincense, rose, helichrysum, myrrh, and lavender will give us a lot of anti-aging benefits. I’ll share about each one below!

How to Make an Anti-Aging Roller Bottle

1. Remove the rollerball top and add the recommended amounts of essential oils.
2. Fill the rest of the way with fractionated coconut oil or carrier oil of your choice.
3. Secure the rollerball top and shake well.

How to Use It

For the greatest results, apply daily to the areas of concern.

You can roll the essential oil roller bottle under and around the eyes, on the forehead, around the mouth, or anywhere else you notice wrinkles, fine lines, or age spots.

Important note: Be sure to avoid getting the oils in the mouth, ears, or eyes, and take caution when applying them near those areas.

Best Essential Oils for Anti-Aging

Frankincense Essential Oil 

Frankincense is often called the king of oils. It is a very popular essential oil for anti-aging and for skin in general.

Frankincense is believed to improve skin tone and elasticity while reducing wrinkles and fine lines. It has been shown to protect the skin from UV-B rays, which cause a loss of collagen and signs of aging.

Some sources, like this one, suggest that frankincense may have properties that help with signs of aging.

Rose Essential Oil 

It takes a little over 60 roses to get one drop of rose essential oil; now that is some concentrated goodness right there! Rose oil is fantastic for skin and anti-aging.

This essential oil is related to DIY rosehip oil and homemade rose water, which both have amazing benefits for the skin!

Rose essential oil can reduce the damage of oxidative stress on the skin. This means wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging!

Rose can be a very expensive oil, so you can substitute geranium to keep the cost lower. Geranium oil has many of the same benefits as rose oil for skin and anti-aging.

Myrrh Essential Oil 

Myrrh is often added to beauty products for its anti-aging benefits, and it is very effective at rejuvenating the skin.

This amazing essential oil promotes healing, reduces swelling, and is a powerful antioxidant, which gives it anti-aging properties.

Helichrysum Essential Oil 

Known as the ‘Immortal’ or ‘Everlasting’ Flower, Helichrysum holds many benefits for the skin.

Helichrysum has been known to smooth, moisturize, and rejuvenates skin, helping to reduce wrinkles.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is a popular essential oil, and for good reason! It promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and helps sleep quality. That alone makes it helpful for anti-aging, but lavender offers much more.

Lavender essential oil is a great oil for reducing wrinkles as it’s rejuvenating and contains antioxidants. This powerful oil also moisturizes and evens out skin tone.

Helpful Tips

• For best results, try to make minimal substitutions and follow the recipe as closely as possible.
• Frankincense, rose, and myrrh are extremely expensive oils, but also some of the best oils for tightening wrinkles. Unfortunately, anti-aging products tend to be very expensive, whether they are store-bought or homemade. I’ve still found that homemade products are always more affordable!
• To cut the cost of this roller bottle a little bit, you can substitute geranium essential oil for rose. Geranium oil has many of the same benefits but costs much less.

Different Ways to Use Essential Oils for Wrinkles

Now that you know the best oils for anti-aging, learn the different ways you can incorporate them into your daily routine!

• Roller bottle – Make a roller bottle with your favorite anti-aging essential oils. Add 15-30 drops of essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle and top off with a carrier oil.
• Mixed with coconut oil – Add 2-3 drops of essential oil to a dime-size amount of coconut oil in the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together, and then massage onto the face. Make sure you avoid the eyes!
• Mix with your favorite lotion – Already using a homemade face moisturizer? Add the normal amount of lotion to the palm of your hand, along with 2-3 drops of your favorite anti-aging essential oils.
• Facial Serum – Make a homemade anti-aging facial serum with essential oils and apply it to the skin daily.

More Oils for Anti-Aging

In case you don’t have all the oils mentioned above, here are a few more oils that work wonders on aging skin!

1. Coconut oil – Coconut oil is high in fatty acids and vitamin E, which is known to keep skin healthy. In addition, coconut oil contains proteins that help with skin cell health.
2. Jojoba oil – Jojoba oil absorbs easily into the skin and helps with hydration and moisturization. It can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Sandalwood essential oil – This oil has antioxidants that can help tighten and firm up the skin.
4. Jasmine essential oil – Jasmine oil oil is one of my favorites for the fragrance alone. However, it also is great for general skin care.
5. Magnolia essential oil – This beautiful oil is extremely powerful in preventing damage from UV-B radiation. Add to your daily routine to help keep skin clean, hydrated, and healthy.
