Published in Skincare Recipes 2 mins read

Here's how to make a Korean rice mask with aloe vera to brighten and soothe your skin:

Steps to Make a Rice and Aloe Vera Mask

This method uses a compressed sheet mask for easy application.

  1. Cook the Rice: Cook a small amount of plain white rice (about 1/4 cup dry) until it is soft. This will create rice water and softened rice for the mask. Let it cool completely.

  2. Prepare the Rice Water: After the rice has cooled, drain the rice, reserving the rice water. The rice water is packed with beneficial nutrients for the skin.

  3. Create the Mask Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cooled rice water with a tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Mix well. Aloe vera adds moisturizing and soothing properties to the mask.

  4. Soak the Sheet Mask: Place a compressed sheet mask tablet into the rice water and aloe vera mixture. Allow the tablet to fully expand and absorb the liquid.

  5. Apply the Mask: Once the sheet mask is saturated, carefully unfold it and apply it to your clean face. Gently press the mask onto your skin to ensure good contact.

  6. Relax and Wait: Leave the sheet mask on for 15-20 minutes. This allows your skin to absorb the beneficial ingredients.

  7. Remove and Rinse (Optional): After the allotted time, remove the sheet mask. Gently massage any remaining essence into your skin. You can rinse your face with cool water if desired, but it's often not necessary.

Benefits of Rice and Aloe Vera

  • Rice water: Brightens the skin, evens out skin tone, and contains amino acids and antioxidants.
  • Aloe vera: Soothes irritation, hydrates the skin, and reduces inflammation.

This simple rice and aloe vera mask can help improve your skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance.
