Ingredients Needed
- Fine Rice Powder
- Rose Water
- Sweet Almond Oil (Carrier)
- Frankincense Essential Oil (Concentrated)
- Almond Essential Oil (Concentrated)
Notes on Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.
Tools Needed
- Measuring cups
- Medium stainless steel cup or bowl
- Teaspoon
- Small silicone spatula
- Small suitable glass container to store your DIY Rice Cream for Glowing Skin
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps: DIY Rice Cream for Glowing Skin
Spoon Measurement Terms
In some articles, we use ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’ for non-liquid ingredients instead of precise measurements. These terms apply to both tablespoons and teaspoons:
- One Spoon: Ingredient filled and leveled in a measuring spoon.
- Rounded Spoon: Ingredient slightly piled above the spoon’s edge.
- Heaped Spoon: Ingredient scooped as high as possible on the spoon
1- Begin by placing 2 heaped teaspoons of fine rice powder in a medium stainless steel cup.
2- Pour 1/2 cup of rose water over the rice powder. Ensure the rose water is cool, not warm.
3- Use a small silicone spatula to stir the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the rice powder is evenly distributed and fully integrated with the rose water. This step is crucial to prevent the rice powder from clumping or sticking together.
4- Set up a bain-marie (hot water bath) by placing the cup in a larger pot of hot, steaming water. This will gradually heat and melt the contents. Stir the mixture while it is in the bain-marie, and continue stirring until it thickens and becomes creamy. Once the mixture reaches this consistency, remove the cup from the bain-marie.
5- Add 1/2 teaspoon of sweet almond oil (carrier) to the mixture.
6- Stir the contents thoroughly.
7- Add 3 drops of frankincense essential oil (concentrated).
8- Add 3 drops of almond essential oil (concentrated).
9- Mix well again to ensure even distribution of the oils.
10- Pour the cream into a suitable glass container.
11- Store the cream in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness. For optimal results, use it within one week.
How to Use DIY Rice Cream for Glowing Skin
a. Apply the Cream: After cleansing and toning your skin, gently apply a thin layer of the rice cream to your face and neck.

Benefits
Rice is a staple in many cultures and is even used in infant diets due to its nourishing properties and positive effects on growth. This powerful ingredient, combined with other natural components in our DIY cream recipe, offers a range of benefits for your skin. Here’s how this blend can enhance your complexion:
Brightens Skin: The fine rice powder gently exfoliates and lightens dark spots for a more radiant complexion.
Hydrates and Nourishes: Sweet almond oil and rose water restore moisture and provide essential nutrients, keeping your skin soft and well-hydrated.
Soothes and Calms: Rose water and essential oils calm irritation and reduce redness, promoting a more balanced appearance.
Improves Texture and Pore Appearance: The cream helps to clear away dead cells and tightens the skin, reducing the appearance of open pores and improving overall texture.
Reduces Acne and Boosts Circulation: The blend of ingredients helps to reduce acne and improve blood circulation, aiding in a clearer complexion.
Protects and Rejuvenates: Frankincense essential oil protects the skin from radicals and supports collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and tighten the skin for a youthful glow.
