Rice Clove Collagen Gel: Japanese DIY For Wrinkle Free Glowing Skin
Procedure
- Extract the rice essence
- Soak the rinsed rice in ½ cup of warm filtered water for 30 minutes.
- Swirl gently, then strain; reserve the cloudy rice water rich in peptides.
- Infuse clove benefits
- Add whole cloves to the rice water and simmer on low for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat, strain out the cloves, and allow the infusion to cool slightly.
- Form the gel base
- While the liquid is still warm (about 60 °C), sprinkle agar-agar powder over the surface.
- Whisk continuously until the powder dissolves completely; this plant gelatin will set the mixture into a light, bouncy gel.
- Enrich and protect
- When the temperature drops below 40 °C, whisk in aloe-vera gel, rose water, glycerin, cooled green-tea, and vitamin E oil.
- Stir until the texture becomes glossy and uniform.
- Set and store
- Pour the mixture into a sterilised glass jar or pump bottle.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set; the gel will keep for seven days in the refrigerator.
