People often use expensive skincare products to achieve soft, radiant, and hydrated skin. However, if you are looking for natural remedies, a simple homemade gel made from rice and cloves can be an excellent option. Rice water has long been used in beauty care, while the antioxidants found in cloves can help protect the skin from external damage.

Adding aloe vera gel to this mixture provides mild hydration and leaves the skin feeling fresh. The best part is that it can be prepared at home using a few simple ingredients. However, since everyone's skin is different, it is important to perform a patch test before trying any home remedy. Here is how to make and use this simple skin gel.

How to make the homemade gel

Ingredients
– ½ cup raw white rice
– 4 to 5 whole cloves
– 1 cup cold water
– 2 tablespoons pure aloe vera gel
– 1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
– 1 teaspoon honey (for dry skin, optional)

How to prepare?
First, soak the rice and cloves in cold water for about 45 minutes. Afterward, strain the water into a clean bowl. Now, add the aloe vera gel and mix well until the blend is smooth. You can also add rose water and honey if desired. Transfer the prepared mixture into a clean spray bottle or container. Store it in the refrigerator and use it within 3 to 5 days.

How to use
After thoroughly cleansing your face, apply a thin layer of this gel to your skin. Allow it to air-dry. Start by using it once a day to see how your skin reacts to it.

Important Precautions
Always perform a patch test before applying any homemade skincare remedy to your face. Discontinue use immediately if you experience any burning, itching, or redness. Always store the gel in the refrigerator and avoid applying it around the eyes. Since this is a fresh, homemade mixture, it has a short shelf life and should be used within a few days.
