If you’re looking for an easy, affordable, and all-natural skincare solution, this DIY summer serum is your new best friend.
Why Choose a Homemade Glow Serum?
Store-bought serums can be expensive and often contain synthetic fragrances, alcohol, and preservatives that may irritate sensitive skin. A homemade face serum allows you to:
- Customize ingredients for your skin type
- Avoid harsh chemicals
- Save money
- Enjoy a fresher, more potent formula
This summer glow serum uses rice water, aloe vera gel, rose water, glycerin, and orange peel powder—a combination that hydrates, brightens, and refreshes your skin.
Ingredients for the Glow Face Serum
- 2–4 tablespoons of rice water (see how to prepare below)
- 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel (preferably pure and organic)
- 2–3 tablespoons of rose water
- 1 teaspoon of glycerin
- ½ teaspoon of orange peel powder
Benefits of Each Ingredient
- Rice Water: Brightens skin, reduces inflammation, tightens pores
- Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes, hydrates, and heals sun-exposed skin
- Rose Water: Calms irritation, refreshes the skin, balances pH
- Glycerin: Locks in moisture, softens skin
- Orange Peel Powder: Rich in Vitamin C, promotes collagen, evens skin tone
How to Make the DIY Glow Serum
Follow these steps to prepare the serum:
- In a clean bowl, add 2–4 tablespoons of rice water (adjust the consistency to your liking).
- Add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel. This ingredient is perfect for cooling the skin and reducing sunburn.
- Add 1 teaspoon of glycerin, a natural humectant that locks in moisture.
- Mix all three ingredients well and leave it for a while.
- In a separate bowl, take 2-3 tablespoons of rose water and 1/2 a teaspoon of orange peel powder. Let it infuse for 30 mins to 1 hour.
- Once infused, strain the mix using a muslin cloth before adding it to the earlier prepared mix.
- Add the infused liquid to the earlier prepared mix.
- Blend all the ingredients well until you get a smooth, serum-like consistency.
- Pour the serum into a small, sterilized glass dropper bottle for easy application.
How to Use the Serum
- Wash your face using a cleanser/face wash. Pat-dry.
- Apply a toner. You can prepare green tea toner at home.
- After cleansing and toning, apply 4-5 drops of the serum to your face and neck.
- Nicely pat your skin so that it absorbs the serum well.
- Follow with your favorite moisturizer and SPF (especially in the morning).
