Hoping for a nighttime treatment that hydrates, relieves, and refreshes radiance to your skin? What if the secret was… in your kitchen? This easy, natural recipe with flax seeds could become your new favorite beauty treatment.
Natural ingredients for radiant skin
In the world of natural skincare, some recipes are just as good as luxury products. One of them is the flaxseed and aloe vera night gel. Moisturizing, soothing, and high in plant collagen, it helps alleviate, plump, and protect the skin. The little extra? It’s 100% homemade, popular, and ultra-easy to make .
Why flax seeds?
These small, discreet seeds are a true achiever of benefits. High in omega-3 and mucilage (these fibers that swell upon reach to water), they form a gel naturally high in plant collagen. The result: they moisturize, reassure redness, and encourage the skin barrier. Ideal for tired, dehydrated skin, or skin prone to minor irritations.
Surprise allies: aloe vera and vitamin E
Aloe vera, as we know, is crucial for hydrating, relaxing inflammation, and encouraging cell regeneration. As for vitamin E, it works as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the skin from premature aging.
How to make your own night gel?
Necessary ingredients:
- 60 g of flax seeds
- 500 ml of water
- 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil
- Optional: a few drops of essential oils (lavender, tea tree, etc.)
Preparation:
- Boil the flax seeds.
- In a saucepan, mix the flax seeds and water. Bring to a boil and then stew for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly. The combination will gradually turn gelatinous.

- Once it reaches the desired consistency, get rid of from heat and let cool. Refine through a fine sieve or a clean cloth to collect only the gelled portion.
- Add aloe vera and vitamin E
- When the gel is at room temperature, add the aloe vera gel and vitamin E oil. Mix well with a spoon or whisk until smooth.
Customize your treatment:
- For a relaxing or purifying effect, add 2 to 3 drops of lavender or tea tree crucial oil.
- Caution: These oils are potent, nothing more!
- Keep refrigerated.
- Transfer the gel to a clean, airtight glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
How to use it?
At night, after washing your face, rub a small amount of gel and massage gently. Its light texture enters quickly and leaves skin soft and supple. It’s also perfect as a tranquilizing after-sun treatment or for moisturizing dry areas of the body.
