Clove, Baby Oil & Rice Collagen Cream
A Homemade Night Cream for Soft, Glowing & Dewy Skin
As collagen production naturally slows with age, the skin can begin to lose firmness, hydration, and radiance. This nourishing DIY collagen cream combines the power of cloves, rice, and moisturizing oils to help support smoother-looking, softer skin naturally. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and soothing ingredients, this creamy treatment is perfect for a nighttime skincare routine and leaves the skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, and glowing by morning.
Clove contains natural antioxidant compounds that help protect the skin from environmental stress. Rice powder is packed with amino acids and nutrients that help improve skin texture and brightness, while baby oil creates a protective moisture barrier that keeps the skin soft and supple. Aloe vera, honey, vitamin E, and almond oil work together to deeply hydrate and calm the skin for a healthy-looking glow.
Ingredients
(Makes approximately 50 g of cream)
2 teaspoons whole cloves, lightly crushed
3 tablespoons unscented baby oil
1 tablespoon finely ground rice powder
1 tablespoon fresh aloe vera gel
1 vitamin E capsule (about 400 IU)
1 teaspoon raw honey
1 teaspoon cold-pressed almond oil
1 teaspoon rose water
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional for extra glow)
Instructions
Step 1: Infuse the Clove Oil
Add the baby oil and crushed cloves to a heat-safe bowl or double boiler. Warm gently over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. The oil should become lightly fragrant.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly, then strain out the cloves using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
Step 2: Prepare the Rice Base
In a small bowl, combine the rice powder with rose water until a smooth paste forms. This helps avoid lumps and creates a silky texture.
Step 3: Mix the Cream
Add the aloe vera gel, honey, almond oil, and vitamin E oil to the rice mixture. Stir well until creamy and smooth.
Slowly pour in the infused clove baby oil while whisking continuously.
If using turmeric, add a tiny pinch and mix thoroughly.
Step 4: Store
Transfer the cream into a clean, airtight glass container. Store in the refrigerator for freshness.
Use within 7–10 days if made with fresh aloe vera, or up to 3 weeks if using preserved aloe vera gel.
How to Use
Cleanse your face before bedtime.
Apply a small amount of cream to the face and neck.
Massage gently using upward circular motions for 2–3 minutes.
Leave overnight and rinse in the morning if desired.
For best results, use 3–4 nights per week.
