New Delhi: A simple night treatment made at home can help your skin feel smoother and more hydrated without expensive products. Collagen is important for skin’s natural bounce and firmness, and this easy balm uses ingredients that are already known for skin-supporting qualities. Rice water is commonly used in Asian beauty routines because it helps skin look bright and healthy. Aloe vera offers a calming, lightweight hydration. Vitamin E oil is a nourishing antioxidant that prevents dryness and supports a more even texture.

This recipe needs only these three ingredients and very little time to prepare. It can be stored in a small container and used daily as the final step of your nighttime routine. Applied with a gentle massage, it leaves the skin soft, refreshed and glowing when you wake up. It is budget-friendly, chemical-free and easy for beginners who want to try a homemade skincare solution.

How to prepare your DIY collagen balm

1. Make fresh rice water

Rinse 2 tbsp raw rice to remove any residue. Add 1/2 cup of water and soak for 30 minutes. Stir and strain to get clean, nutrient-rich rice water. This forms the hydrating base of the balm.

2. Mix your ingredients

In a clean bowl, combine 2 tbsp rice water with 1 tbsp aloe vera gel. Whisk slowly until smooth. Add 2 tbsp Vitamin E oil and mix again until the texture becomes silky and lotion-like. Store in a small airtight jar or dropper bottle to keep it fresh.

3. How to apply at night

Use this balm after cleansing. Take two drops and massage gently over your face and neck in upward circular strokes. Leave it on overnight. It absorbs gradually and helps the skin feel supple by morning.

A regular nighttime routine with this simple blend can make skin feel healthier and more nourished. Homemade skincare also allows better control over ingredients and freshness.
