Cleaning your face with rice water is a simple process. Simply apply it to your skin, massage gently, and rinse if desired.
Using Rice Water as a Facial Toner & Cleanser
Rice water can be used as a gentle toner and cleanser. Here's how:
-
Prepare your rice water: While the reference doesn't detail preparation, you'll likely need to soak rice in water for some time to create the water. The concentration is not specified in the reference.
-
Apply the rice water: Pour a small amount of rice water onto a cotton ball or pad.
-
Gently smooth onto your face and neck: Pat the cotton ball across your face and neck, ensuring even coverage.
-
Massage gently: The reference suggests massaging the rice water into your skin. This helps improve absorption and circulation.
-
Rinse (optional): The reference states that rinsing is optional. If you prefer a less sticky feeling, rinse with lukewarm water after a few minutes.
Using Rice Water as a Face Mask
The reference also mentions using rice water as a face mask.
-
Prepare a thicker rice water solution: You'll need a thicker concentration of rice water than for a toner/cleanser.
-
Apply to a tissue mask: Soak a thin sheet of tissue paper (like facial mask sheets) in the thicker rice water.
-
Apply to your face: Carefully place the soaked tissue onto your face.
-
Leave on for 15-20 minutes (or as desired): Let the mask sit on your face for at least 15 minutes, allowing the rice water to nourish your skin.
-
Remove the mask and rinse: Gently remove the tissue mask and rinse your face with lukewarm water.
Remember to always perform a patch test before applying any new skincare product to your entire face to check for any allergic reactions.
