Ingredients

• 1/4 cup rice (white, brown, or jasmine rice)
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. Rinse Rice: Place the rice in a bowl and rinse it thoroughly to remove excess dirt and impurities.
2. Soak Rice: Add 2 cups of water to the rinsed rice and let it soak for 30 minutes.
3. Strain Rice Water: After soaking, strain the rice water into a clean container.
4. Optional Fermentation (for added benefits): If you'd like to ferment the rice water, leave it in a warm place for 1-2 days. This can help boost the nutrients and make it more effective.
5. Use Rice Water: Once the rice water is ready, apply it to your clean face using a cotton pad or pour it into a spray bottle for easy use. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
