Collagen Combo for Glass Skin: DIY Rice Serum & Cream

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

1. Wash 1 tbsp of raw rice thoroughly to remove dust and impurities.

2. Add 2 tbsp water and soak the rice for 15–20 minutes.

3. Strain the water into a clean bowl — this is your rice water base.

4. In another bowl, mix:

   • ½ tbsp aloe vera gel

   • 9–10 drops glycerin

   • 1 tbsp rose water

   • 3–4 drops sandalwood essential oil

5. Add 1 tbsp of rice water into the mixture. Stir well until blended.

6. 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.
