Before cooking rice, people usually wash it, discard the water, and put the rice in the rice cooker, adding the water for the rice to cook in. In this process, an extremely important beauty ingredient is being wasted. This ingredient is the rice water that is thrown away after washing the rice. Its beauty benefits were something known mostly to Asian communities until fairly recently. But now that the secret is out, people worldwide swear by its skin benefits.
This Onehowto article will show you how to make rice moisturizer to achieve beautiful silky hair.
Rice water and its benefits
Rice water is the water in which the rice is washed or soaked before cooking. In most places, it is discarded. However, as you will come to know about its benefits, this rice water will become your most treasured beauty ingredient.
Rice water is an excellent moisturizer and toner. It lightens your skin tone and helps in removing sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and age spots. Additionally, it reduces pore size on your skin and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Regular use of rice water will give you a flawless, porcelain-like finish to your skin. The best thing about rice water is that it is natural and does not have any side effects.
Moreover, rice water contains inositol, a carbohydrate that aids in promoting cell growth and slowing the aging process. This not only enhances the skin’s elasticity but also rejuvenates the skin, making it look younger and more radiant over time. Furthermore, rice water is rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the skin from environmental damage such as pollution and ultraviolet rays.
DIY Rice Moisturizer
Now that you know about the numerous benefits of rice water, you should try and apply it on your skin to moisturize it and make it soft and supple.
You will need:
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups water
- Airtight container
- Cotton pad or paper towel
Instructions:
- Open the lid of the airtight container and pour a cup full of rice in it.
- Pour 2 cups of water into the container. After a minute, stir the rice and water with a spoon. Then put the lid on it and let it sit for about 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, the water will become milky white, and the rice will become a bit translucent. This milky white water is the rice water.
- Strain the rice water and pour it into another container. Stir it again with a spoon so that its nutrients do not settle down.
- Take the cotton pad or paper towel and dip it in the rice water. Take it out and then gently pat it all over the face.
- The rice water applied over the face will take about a couple of minutes to dry. When the water dries, dip the cotton pad or paper towel again in rice water and reapply it all over your face.
- When it dries out, your skin will feel moisturized and baby soft. You won’t even have to use toner.
Note: Rice water moisturizer can be used on hands, arms, neck, and any other part of the body. Additionally, for those with sensitive skin, rice water is gentle and soothing, making it suitable for daily use. It should be noted that rice water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing you to use this natural moisturizer as part of your regular skincare routine.
