To make a Korean rice water face mask, you'll need to first prepare the rice water. Rinse three tablespoons of rice in water twice. Save the third rinse water, as this is the rice water you'll use for the mask.
There are several ways to make the mask itself:
- Rice Water and Rice Blend: Blend two tablespoons of cooked rice with four to five tablespoons of rice water to create a paste.
- Rice Water and Other Ingredients: Mix rice water with honey, aloe vera gel, or rice flour to create a hydrating mask.
Apply the mask evenly to your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Important Note: While some recipes call for using the third rinse water, others suggest using the actual rice in the mask. Remember to check the specific recipe you are following.
