DIY Collagen Gel With Rice & Cloves

This DIY collagen gel uses cloves and rice as hero ingredients to stimulate natural collagen production, enhanced with flaxseeds for a silky texture and vitamin C-rich elements for synthesis support. Ideal for your viral beauty content, it promotes firmness, hydration, and glow using everyday natural items.​

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white rice (fermented water boosts inositol for collagen support)

• 8-10 whole cloves (antioxidant eugenol fights free radicals that break down collagen)

• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds (omega-3s and mucilage for gel base and skin repair)

• 1.5 cups filtered water

• Juice of half a lemon (vitamin C essential for collagen formation)

• 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (hydrates and aids penetration).​

Preparation Steps

Soak rice and cloves in 1 cup water overnight or 8 hours, then strain the starchy, infused liquid. Simmer flaxseeds in remaining water for 10 minutes until thickened, strain to get gel, and cool. Blend rice-clove water, flax gel, lemon juice, and aloe until smooth; jar and refrigerate for 5-7 days.​

Skin Benefits

Rice water’s ferulic acid and inositol enhance collagen synthesis while brightening, cloves protect against oxidative damage for elasticity, and vitamin C from lemon activates fibroblast production. Regular use improves hydration, reduces fine lines, and evens tone, mimicking clinical collagen effects.​

Application Guide

Massage onto clean face as night treatment or mask (15-20 mins, rinse); use 3-4 times weekly.
