Collagen Combo For Glass Skkin

Achieving smooth, glowing skin that shines like a mirror is no longer a distant dream with this simple DIY face serum. This serum is not only effective in brightening your complexion but also in restoring skin elasticity, making your skin appear youthful and radiant. The key ingredient in this serum is rice, which contains gamma-oryzanol, a powerful enzyme that helps even out skin tone and promote a brighter complexion.

In this post we will make two skin care products, first one is serum and second one is cream.

Let’s dive into how to make this incredibly effective serum that will leave your skin glowing!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 tbsp Raw Rice
• Aloe Vera Gel (preferably market-bought for better shelf life)
• Sandalwood Essential Oil
• Glycerin
• Rose Water

Steps to Make the Rice Serum:

1. Start by washing 1 tbsp of raw rice with plain water to remove any dust and impurities. After washing, add 2 tbsp of water to the rice and let it soak for about 15-20 minutes. Once the rice has soaked, strain the water into a clean bowl.
2. In a separate clean bowl, take 1/2 tbsp of aloe vera gel. While fresh aloe vera gel is great, using store-bought aloe vera gel is recommended for longer shelf life.
3. To the aloe vera gel, add 9-10 drops of glycerin (which helps with skin hydration) and 1 tbsp of rose water (for a calming, hydrating effect).
4. Next, add 3-4 drops of sandalwood essential oil. Sandalwood is known for its soothing and skin-brightening properties, making it perfect for evening out skin tone.
5. Finally, add 1 tbsp of rice water that you prepared earlier. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. If the consistency of the serum is too thick, you can add more rice water to make it more watery.
6. Once everything is mixed well, transfer the serum into a clean glass dropper bottle for easy application. The dropper bottle also helps with preserving the serum.

How to Use the Rice Serum:

• Daily Application: Use this serum twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. After cleansing your face, take 5-6 drops of the serum and gently tap it onto your skin with your fingertips. Let it absorb completely before moving on to your next skincare steps.
• Daytime Routine: During the day, I recommend applying a Vitamin C serum first, as Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and protects the skin from free radical damage. Afterward, apply this rice serum on top. The combination of Vitamin C and rice water will not only brighten the skin but also help tighten your pores and enhance overall skin health.

Benefits of the Rice Serum:

• The rice water in this serum, combined with sandalwood oil, is excellent for brightening your skin, giving it a natural glow.
• Aloe vera and glycerin provide deep hydration, improving the elasticity of your skin, leaving it smooth and supple.
• This serum helps tighten pores, making your skin appear smoother and firmer.
• When used with Vitamin C, this serum protects your skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, preventing skin damage and premature aging.
