DIY Rice Face Mask For Brighter Skin

Here is a popular DIY rice face mask recipe that I have recently made.

The texture is super-smooth and so rich that it feels really luxurious.

If you love rice, you are going to love it even more after you experience its awesome benefits for your skin.

More on the benefits below.

It is well known that Oriental women, including Japanese and Korean women, take good care of their skin, and rice masks are part of their beauty routine.

Perhaps they have to thank the humble rice for their porcelain complexion?

Homemade masks, toners, and scrubs made with rice have great benefits for the skin.

These are some of its skincare benefits:

• eliminate dead cells
• moisturize
• rejuvenate
• regenerate
• firm
• brighten and whiten
• clear the skin

A few notes about the recipe:

• I have added a full-spectrum preservative because of the water content.
• Even if kept in the fridge, it will soon grow bacteria, and I don’t want those nasties on my skin.
• If you don’t want to use a preservative, make only the amount you are going to need for one or two applications.
• Sterilize the container with alcohol (70%) and use a spatula instead of your fingers.

How to make Rice Face Mask Serum

• 1 cup of rice
• 3 cups of water

Boil the rice and water for just 5 minutes.

Keep boiling the rice until it is soft, but make sure it is not completely dry.

Now blend it until it looks like a puree.

Put the boiled rice on a cheesecloth, pantyhose, or a small net washing bag (like me), and squeeze it to get a gel-like liquid.

This is how the rice water face mask looks.

Note – Don’t throw the rice left in the strainer; reserve it to make a scrub.

Transfer the rice mask to a container.

You can use it as it is, or you could add other ingredients to maximize its benefits.

I have added 1 tablespoon of vitamin E and 10 drops of rosehip oil

I have also added a full-spectrum preservative because it contains water.

If you don’t want to use a preservative, make a small amount, keep it in the fridge, and use it within two or 3 days.

How to use a rice facial mask

Moisten the skin.

Apply over the face and neck and leave until it dries (about 10 or 15 minutes).

Remove with a cotton or cloth dampened with warm water or rose water.

The skin will be clearer and super-smooth.
