Homemade serum for face:
Homemade serum for the face with step by step images and procedure-As I had mentioned in CTM post to share the serum recipe for glowing face after a few days(once your skin is used to CTM process).The recipe below can be stored for a month in an airtight container and can be used for your skin and hair. I have incorporated this into my daily CTM routine. So CTSM is my routine. Come let’s check out the recipe.
Homemade serum for face:
Flaxseed gel – I first learnt about it in a facebook group for hair care. As I started learning about natural skin care routine I came to know it is also an excellent option for facial serum. So this is not a new recipe. I tried and it worked out well. So sharing across guys. This has innumerable uses.
Ingredients:
- Flaxseeds-1/4 cup
- Water-1 cup(Second-time serum preparation 1 cup)
- Vitamin E capsules-2 or coconut oil
Homemade serum for face:
1. Measure and keep the ingredients ready.
2. Boil water and add the Vitamin E oil into it. Now add flaxseeds into it.
3. Heat in low flame by continuously stirring for 5 minutes.
4. Switch off the stove when you find that a slightly gooey texture begins to appear.
5. Filter it immediately.
6. Cool and store the flaxseed gel in the refrigerator.
7. Your homemade flax seed gel is ready.
8. You can make a thinner version of serum by repeating the same process with the filtered flaxseeds with 1.5 cups of water. This can be used on your face as a serum when you walk out since it is thinner.
How to use a homemade face serum?
You can apply this on your cleansed and toned face before using moisturiser in CTM.
The serum can be used to massage the face and skin for naturally glowing skin.
How do I use the flaxseed seed gel?
I apply on my face and massage after 7 times toning before bedtime. As this serum dries, I apply my moisturizer and leave it whole night .
You can apply 4 layers of serum (allow each layer to dry before applying the other) on your clean bare skin and wash with cold water in the morning. This results in the natural glow of your skin. (Suggested by Nibhrutha)
Partition your hair and apply the gel on your scalp, leave it for 1/2 hour and wash with a mild cleanser. You will find your hair denser and thicker.
The flaxseed gel is a great hair pack for curly hair.
I ground all leftovers of the CTSM products and made a pack of (flaxseeds+neem+tulsi) and used on my hair.
P.S:
Don’t boil them.
Cook in low flame without stopping the stir.
The gel will thicken as it cools down.
Don’t delay filtering as thickening will not let you filter the gel on cooling.
Kindly do a patch test always.
Fix your skin type and choose the products accordingly.
The above regime suited my skin and it might not work for others. So kindly do a patch test and proceed with a regular routine.
Following CTM once a day has made a great change to my skin.
