Glass Skin Facial With Rice Water

Incorporating rice water into your facial routine can be a natural and efficient way to achieve the desired skincare result of glowing, “glass-like” skin. A perfect and radiant complexion is promoted by rice water’s abundance of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, which improve the skin’s barrier function.

Preparation of Rice Water:

1. Rinse the Rice: Take half a cup of white rice and rinse it thoroughly to remove any impurities.
2. Soak the Rice: Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and add about 2 cups of water. Let the rice soak for 15–30 minutes. During this time, the water will begin to take on a cloudy appearance.
3. Extract the Rice Water: After soaking, stir the rice gently, then strain the water into a clean container. This milky solution is your rice water, ready for use in the facial steps.

Step 1: Cleansing

For Dry Skin:

• Ingredients: 1 tablespoon raw milk, 1 tablespoon rice water
• Method: Mix the raw milk and rice water. Using a clean cotton ball, apply this mixture to your face, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes before rinsing with cold water.

For Oily Skin:

• Ingredients: Equal parts rice water and rose water
• Method: Combine the rice water and rose water. Apply the mixture to your face with a cotton ball, leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

Step 2: Exfoliation

• Ingredients: 1 tablespoon rice flour, 1 tablespoon milk, sufficient rice water to form a paste
• Method: In a bowl, mix the rice flour and milk, adding rice water until a smooth paste is achieved. Gently massage this scrub onto your face and neck in circular motions for 2-3 minutes. Leave it on for an additional 5 minutes before rinsing off.

For Sensitive Skin:

• Alternative Ingredients: Oats powder, curd, rice water
• Method: Mix oats powder with curd and rice water to form a gentle scrub. Apply and massage as described above.

Step 3: Face Mask

• Ingredients: 1 tablespoon rice flour, 1 tablespoon curd, enough beetroot juice to form a paste
• Method: Combine the rice flour and curd, then add beetroot juice until a smooth paste forms. Apply this mask evenly over your face and neck, leaving it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with plain water.

Post-Facial Care:

After completing the facial steps, it’s beneficial to apply serums that enhance skin health:

• Vitamin C Serum: Rich in antioxidants, it protects the skin from free radical damage.
• Niacinamide Serum: Soothes the skin and boosts collagen production, promoting a soft and supple appearance.

Apply a few drops of these serums to your face, gently dabbing them into the skin. Follow up with a water-based moisturizer to lock in hydration.

Incorporating this rice water facial into your skincare routine can lead to a healthier, more radiant complexion, reflecting the coveted “glass skin” look.
