Flaxseed and rice serum is a lightweight, hybrid gel-oil formula that combines the omega-3-rich goodness of flaxseeds with the antioxidant benefits of rice water. This unique blend helps hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and fight visible signs of aging. With the added nourishment from rosehip oil and vitamin E, the serum works gently yet effectively on all skin types to promote a youthful, radiant complexion.

Ingredients Required

  • Flaxseeds – to create flaxseed gel; hydrates and calms inflammation

  • White rice – for making rice water; improves collagen and brightness

  • Rosehip oil – rich in vitamin A; helps with collagen production and cell turnover

  • Aloe vera gel – hydrates and soothes the skin

  • Jojoba or sweet almond oil – lightweight oils that moisturize without clogging pores

  • Vegetable glycerin – humectant that draws moisture into the skin

  • Vitamin E oil – antioxidant that protects skin and improves shelf life

  • (Optional) Essential oil like lavender or frankincense – for fragrance and rejuvenating effects

Procedure

Start by preparing the two key bases: rice water and flaxseed gel.

  1. Rice Water: Rinse ¼ cup of white rice and soak it in ½ cup of clean water for 30 minutes. Strain the water into a bowl. For extra potency, allow the strained rice water to ferment at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.

  2. Flaxseed Gel: Boil 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds in 1 cup of water. Let it simmer for about 5–10 minutes until the water thickens into a gel-like consistency. Strain the seeds while the gel is still warm.

  3. Serum Base: In a clean bowl, mix 2–3 tablespoons of rice water with the freshly prepared flaxseed gel. Add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin. Stir thoroughly until the base is uniform.

  4. Oil Phase: Add 2 teaspoons of rosehip oil and 1 teaspoon of jojoba or almond oil. Pierce a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the contents into the mixture. Blend until the oil and gel phases form a smooth serum.

  5. Essential Oil (Optional): Add 2–3 drops of essential oil if desired for added benefits and fragrance.

  6. Storage: Pour the serum into a clean glass dropper bottle. Store it in the refrigerator and use within 1–2 weeks for best results. Shake before each use.

Instructions

  • Always do a patch test before applying the serum to your face. Test a small amount on your forearm and wait 24 hours.

  • Apply 2–3 drops of the serum on clean, damp skin after washing your face.

  • Gently massage in upward circular motions until fully absorbed.

  • Use once daily, either at night or in the morning. If used in the daytime, follow with sunscreen.

  • Store the serum in the refrigerator and use within two weeks. Always shake the bottle before use to maintain consistency.
