Serums are similar to moisturizers. They’re oil-based and penetrate the skin deeply. This means that using the appropriate serum on your face might make a huge difference.
Although there are already made face serums you can get from the market, you can also make your own face serum with products you already have at home in your kitchen.
In this post, we’ll take a look at how you can make your own face serum at home using aloe vera gel and coconut water. This serum includes key essential ingredients that are known to make the skin look younger and fresher by restoring collagen, reducing wrinkles, brightening the skin, and brightening the complexion.
Homemade aloe vera gel and coconut water serum
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut water
- 1 tbsp aloe vera gel
- 1 tsp rosewater
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp glycerine
Why this serum works
Coconut water
Coconut water contains lots of natural vitamins and nutrients that make it very beneficial for the skin. When used on the skin, it hydrates and moisturizes the skin. It also has anti-microbial properties that help it in fighting acne.
Aloe vera gel
Aloe Vera gel contains anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial to the skin. Its cooling properties aid in the relief of sunburns and other inflammations. It also moisturizes the skin and aids in the treatment of acne.
Rosewater
Rosewater constricts the pores and absorbs excess oil on the skin. It protects, restores, and moisturizes your skin’s pH balance, reducing breakouts and preventing persistent dryness.

Honey
Honey hydrates the skin and allows essential enzymes to permeate the skin. It moisturizes the skin by reducing dryness and increasing water content.
Glycerin
Glycerin aids in the moisture retention of the skin. This means that adding glycerin to your serum will help lock in all of your body’s nutrients, resulting in radiant skin.
Directions
Put one tablespoon of coconut water in a bowl. Add one tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix well. Pour in a teaspoon of rosewater and mix well. Then add a teaspoon of honey and mix well. Once mixed, you can add a teaspoon of glycerin. Pour the mixture into a serum bottle and store it for use.
How to use this serum
You can use this serum before or after applying your face moisturizer, just like any other face serum. You can also apply it before going to bed at night to gain quicker results.
