Rice Water Skin Care Benefits

• Smoothes out wrinkles
• Evens skin tone
• Lightens skin by fading suntan
• Firms skin
• Reduces pore size
• Reduces swelling / inflammation
• Brightens skin
• Gives a youthful glow to skin
• Fades age spots and hyperpigmentation

Rice water can give your skin a flawless porcelain finish and even lighten and whiten your skin over time – better than expensive skin whitening serums.

When I mean whiten, I’m referring to removing hyperpigmentation,  age spots, and sun spots.
You can also expect to see it help firm up your skin and reduce your pore size. This would explain the smoothness I always experience!

What vitamin does rice water have?

Rice water is full of skin loving vitamins, minerals, B vitamins, vitamin E, pitera, especially PABA, allantonin, and ferullic acids, especially antioxidants that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

How to make Rice Water for Skin Care

Rice Water Skin Care – How to Make Rice Water

1: Get a good quality rice

I’ve tried all types of rice this last year to find the best rice to use when making rice water. The brand of rice that I recommend is called Nishiki Premium Grade Rice. This is Medium grain rice specially selected. For 5 lbs it costs $6.59 USD.

 

I use this brand to create delectable sushi dishes with but in this situation, I end up being the real dish in this winning skin care routine 😉 shhh! Try it! 😉 You can use any white rice to make rice water, this brand is just my personal favorite!

 

2: Get an airtight container with lid

a container that will keep the rice water from spilling is important. Also for fermenting the rice water faster. This makes a higher quality rice water.

3: Scoop 4 TBSP. of uncooked raw rice into the container

 

Step 4: Pour a generous amount of purified water into the container

I’m using cold bottled water right out of my refrigerator so it will be nice and cold when I apply this fresh mixture to my skin. (Coldness closes your pores) Do not use hot water or cooked rice water. (You don’t need to use boiled rice for skin whitening.)

It’s OK if some rice stays floating on the surface of the water. It will eventually sink.

 

5: Place the lid on the container and give it a good shake.

– Allow the rice water to sit for ten minutes for fresh rice water. Or to make fermented rice water, allow at least one hour.
The longer you let the rice sit in the water, the more strong the smell. If you let it sit for an hour, this is how to make fermented rice water. Fermented rice water is more beneficial for skin care.

6: Stir the rice water after an hour

The rice water will look very milky white after ten minutes. All of the nutrients are now in the water. The longer you let the rice water ferment, the whiter the water. You won’t be able to see the rice underwater! Pick up some of the rice under water and notice it’s becoming a little translucent! Pretty huh?

 

Look how milky white the rice water is! I’m tilting the container and you can’t even see through the rice water!

 

7: Rice water is ready to apply. Use a cotton pad or paper towel

Take a cotton pad or paper towel and soak up some of the rice water and gently pat it onto your face. You can make a sheet mask and allow the rice water to soak into your skin and dry. I love to let it dry on my face and reapply more rice water to get a good dose of rice water for my skin! When the rice water dries on my face, my skin feels so soft and looks so luminous that I feel like I don’t even need makeup! If you do decide to wear foundation, it will apply so smoothly onto you skin.

8: Reapply rice water to skin once it dries

Here’s my makeup-free skin getting a good dose of rice water. Let it soak in for five minutes and apply more.

Results of rice water before and after

The results of using the rice water! yay! I’m really pleased with the smoothness and glow it gives my skin! My pores are super tight and my skin is smoother than silk! This could be a makeup free day! Who am I kidding? I’m going to add some blush and color to my face.

Rice water adds a blur and glow to the skin. Perfect for natural beauty and no makeup needed.

I have done some makeup free days with rice water and my skin feels baby soft all day! Try it! You can also use rice water just like a skin toner. This is a great inexpensive way to pamper your skin! I love to take the leftover rice water onto my neck, hands, and arms.

How long can you keep rice water?

Up to three says in the refrigerator. After that, rice water goes bad.

9: Freeze leftover rive water for storage

Since rice water can go bad, I recommend you freeze leftover rice water in ice cube trays. This way you can store your fresh rice water longer!

Not only that, you can enjoy benefits of applying ice to your skin.

Or you can store the rice water you made in and air tight container placed in your refrigerator up to four days! You can cook the rice grains instead of throwing them away! 😉

Don’t forget, you can sleep while having the rice water on your face, hair and body too!
