July 10, 2025 Written by GP Team
If you’re looking for a simple, natural, and budget-friendly way to fight signs of aging, this homemade night cream is your secret weapon. Using ingredients easily found in your kitchen — onion juice, Vaseline, corn starch, and olive oil — this DIY cream can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve skin texture, and bring back a youthful glow.
Why This Cream Works
- Onion Juice: Rich in sulfur and antioxidants, onion juice boosts collagen production, fades age spots, and improves blood circulation to give skin a firm, radiant look.
- Corn Starch: Helps to thicken the cream while delivering a smooth, matte texture that tightens and lifts the skin.
- Vaseline: Locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier to prevent water loss overnight — ideal for dry or aging skin.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Packed with vitamin E and fatty acids, olive oil deeply nourishes, softens skin, and reduces inflammation.
Ingredients:
- Juice of 1 medium red onion
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1/4 teaspoon Vaseline (original petroleum jelly)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
How to Make It:
- Grate or blend one peeled onion. Strain it through a fine mesh or cheesecloth to collect the clear juice.
- Pour the onion juice into a small nonstick pan. Add 1 teaspoon of corn starch. Cook the mixture on low flame, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a smooth gel.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature before adding the other ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Transfer the cooled gel into a clean glass bowl.
- Pour the cream into a small airtight container or glass jar.
- Keep refrigerated and use within 5–7 days.
How to Use:
- Apply a small amount of the cream to your clean face and neck before bedtime.
- Gently massage it into the skin in upward circular motions.
- Leave it overnight and rinse off in the morning with lukewarm water.
Benefits:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Deeply moisturizes and softens dry, aging skin
- Boosts collagen and skin elasticity
- Fades pigmentation and age spots
- Works overnight while your skin repairs
