This DIY night cream is a simple yet effective way to care for your skin while you sleep. It’s designed to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and brighten your complexion. Apply it at night and wash it off in the morning for smooth, refreshed skin.
The cream is made with two powerful ingredients: frankincense and licorice. Frankincense helps with cell regeneration, reducing signs of aging, while licorice works to even out skin tone and lighten dark spots. Together, they create a nourishing formula that supports healthier, more radiant skin.

5- Mix again.
6- Add 2 grams (0.07 oz) of licorice glycerin extract into the beaker.
7- Stir thoroughly.
8- Add 1 gram (0.03 oz) of vitamin E oil, and stir again.
9- In a separate small bowl, mix a pinch of mica powder with a small amount of almond oil to create a smooth color solution. Once well combined, add this mixture to the cream and stir thoroughly, ensuring the color is evenly distributed throughout the cream.
10- Scoop the DIY night cream into a glass container.
How to Use
a. Cleanse Your Skin: Begin by thoroughly washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any makeup, dirt, or impurities. This ensures the night cream can fully absorb into clean skin.
b. Apply a Small Amount: Scoop a small amount of the night cream using clean fingers or a spatula. A little goes a long way.
c. Evenly Distribute: Dot the cream across your face—forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose. Don’t forget your neck and décolletage area for complete coverage.
d. Massage Gently: Using upward circular motions, gently massage the cream into your skin. This boosts circulation and helps the cream penetrate deeper into your skin.
e. Let It Absorb: Leave the cream on overnight, allowing your skin to soak in the nutrients while you sleep. No need to rinse off before bed.
f. Rinse Off in the Morning: Upon waking, rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove any residue. Follow up with your usual morning skincare routine.
Benefits
Deep Hydration: The aloe vera gel and sweet almond oil provide intense moisture, helping to rejuvenate your skin while you sleep.
