Rice has featured in Asian beauty rituals for centuries, and modern studies confirm that rice extracts can help up-regulate collagen synthesis and visibly soften fine lines. Baby oil—essentially highly refined mineral oil—forms a breathable seal on the skin that slows moisture loss without clogging most pores. When you blend the two with aloe-vera gel, antioxidant-rich vitamin E, and raw honey, you create a multi-tasking night cream that hydrates, repairs, and fights oxidative stress in one step.

Ingredients Required

2 Tbsp cooked rice paste (white or brown; rich in collagen-stimulating peptides)
1 Tbsp Johnson’s baby oil (or any fragrance-free baby oil)
1 Tbsp fresh aloe-vera gel (store-bought 99 % pure gel works if you don’t have a plant)
1 vitamin E capsule (400 IU)—pierced
1 tsp raw honey (unprocessed for maximum enzymes)
(Optional boosters: 3–4 drops rose-hip seed oil for extra fatty acids; 2 drops lavender essential oil for a calming scent.)
