Gentle DIY Skin Rejuvenating Cream Rice Clove Baby Oil
For millennia, people from many cultures have utilized rice and cloves to achieve youthful, radiant skin. While cloves contain eugenol, a potent antioxidant with cleansing qualities, rice is rich in natural antioxidants and amino acids that help smooth and brighten the face.
This homemade collagen-boosting cream helps nourish the skin, support elasticity, and leave it smooth, moisturized, and radiant when combined with baby oil, a mild moisturizing oil, and optional aloe vera or vitamin E.
This formula is inexpensive, simple to make, and perfect for everyday skincare.
INGREDIENTS (WITH QUANTITIES):
Main Ingredients:
Rice – 2 tablespoons
(Any white rice; acts as a natural collagen stimulator & brightener)
Cloves – 5 to 6 whole cloves
(Provides antioxidants, antibacterial properties)
Baby Oil – 2 tablespoons
(Moisturizes and locks in hydration; non-comedogenic for most skin types)
Optional Boosters (Choose any 1–2):
Aloe Vera Gel – 1 tablespoon
(Soothes, moisturizes, improves texture)
Vitamin E Oil – 1 capsule or ½ teaspoon
(Powerful antioxidant for anti-aging)
Rose Water – 1 tablespoon

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Prepare Rice Paste
Rinse 2 tbsp of rice to remove dust.
Boil with ½ cup water until soft and mushy.
Strain (keep the leftover water—it’s rice water and can be used as toner).
Mash the boiled rice into a fine paste OR blend it for a smoother texture.
STEP 2: Make Clove Infusion
Add 5–6 cloves to ¼ cup water.
Boil for 5 minutes until the water turns light brown.
Cool and strain the clove water.
This creates a mild clove extract that’s gentler on the skin.
STEP 3: Combine Ingredients
In a bowl, add:
2 tbsp rice paste
1 tbsp clove water
2 tbsp baby oil
Mix well until creamy.
Add optional boosters:
Aloe vera gel (1 tbsp) or vitamin E (½ tsp)
Stir until fully blended and smooth.
STEP 4: Store the Cream
Transfer into a small airtight glass container.
Refrigerate for up to 7–10 days.
