How to Make Rice Water Toner

There are two simple ways to make rice water toner, depending on your preference:

Method 1 (Soaking Method):

1. Rinse the rice thoroughly in a colander to remove any impurities.
2. Place the rice in a bowl and let it soak in water for 15-20 minutes.
3. Once the water turns cloudy and white, strain the rice and collect the rice water into a clean bottle.

Method 2 (Boiling Method):

How to Use Rice Water Toner

• As a Toner: Apply the rice water toner to your face to brighten your skin and tighten large pores. You can use it both in the morning and at night to cleanse your skin before applying your moisturizer. I personally prefer this way only, but you can try this amazing water as face mist, cleanser or mask also.
• As a Face Mist: Mix rice water with rose water for a refreshing and hydrating face mist. Carry it with you throughout the day for a quick pick-me-up.
• In Face Masks: Add rice water to your favorite face mask for extra benefits. It will enhance the mask’s effectiveness and help nourish your skin.
• As a Gentle Cleanser: Use rice water as a mild, natural cleanser to wash your face. It’s soothing and perfect for sensitive skin.
• As a Face Ice Bath: Freeze rice water in an ice tray to create ice cubes. In the morning, place the rice ice cubes in a bowl and immerse your face in the chilled water to tighten and refresh your skin.

Rice water toner can last for up to 5 days when stored in the refrigerator. Be sure to use it within this time frame for maximum effectiveness.
