Dreaming of smooth, radiant, glass-like skin?
Achieving it doesn’t have to be a distant dream. With just a few natural ingredients, you can create powerful DIY skincare products at home. In this post, we’ll make two glow-boosting essentials: a brightening serum and a hydrating cream.
The star ingredient here is rice. Rice water has been used in Asian skincare for centuries, thanks to its content of gamma-oryzanol, a natural antioxidant that helps even out skin tone, restore elasticity, and promote a youthful glow.
Let’s dive into how to make this collagen-boosting combo for healthy, glowing skin!
Product 1: DIY Rice Serum
This rice serum helps brighten your skin, hydrate deeply, and support elasticity. Perfect for daily use.
Ingredients You’ll Need
1 tbsp raw rice
½ tbsp aloe vera gel (store-bought recommended for longer shelf life)
9–10 drops of glycerin (deep hydration)
1 tbsp rose water (calming & refreshing)
3–4 drops sandalwood essential oil (brightening & soothing)
2 tbsp water (for soaking rice)
Steps to Make Rice Serum
Steps to Make Rice Serum
Wash 1 tbsp of raw rice thoroughly to remove dust and impurities.
Add 2 tbsp water and soak the rice for 15–20 minutes.
Strain the water into a clean bowl — this is your rice water base.
In another bowl, mix:
½ tbsp aloe vera gel
9–10 drops glycerin
1 tbsp rose water
3–4 drops sandalwood essential oil
Add 1 tbsp of rice water into the mixture. Stir well until blended.
If the serum feels too thick, add a little more rice water for a lighter consistency.
Store the serum in a clean, airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for freshness.
Product 2: DIY Rice Cream
Once you have your serum, you can also whip up a hydrating rice cream to lock in all the goodness.
Ingredients You’ll Need
2 tbsp rice water
1 tbsp aloe vera gel
½ tsp glycerin
2–3 drops sandalwood essential oil
½ tbsp shea butter or coconut oil (optional for added richness)
Steps to Make Rice Cream
In a small clean bowl, combine aloe vera gel and rice water.
Add glycerin and sandalwood essential oil.
For extra hydration, melt shea butter or coconut oil slightly and blend it in.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Store in a small jar in the fridge. Use as a night cream for best results.
How to Use the Serum & Cream
Serum → Apply after cleansing and toning, gently patting it into your skin.
Cream → Follow up with the rice cream to lock in moisture and nutrients.
Use them consistently for 2–3 weeks, and you may notice:
Brighter, more even-toned skin
Improved elasticity
A radiant, glass-skin finish
Final Thoughts
