Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of rice (preferably organic white rice or brown rice)
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of honey (natural moisturizer)
- 1 tablespoon of yogurt (for exfoliation and hydration)
- Few drops of rose water (optional, for a soothing effect)
- 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel (optional, for added hydration)
Instructions:
- Wash and Soak Rice: Begin by washing 1/2 cup of rice thoroughly to remove any impurities. Once washed, soak the rice in 1 cup of water for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight for best results).
- Blend into a Paste: Drain the water but do not discard it—set it aside for later use. Blend the soaked rice until you get a smooth paste-like consistency.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, add the rice paste, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined. If desired, add a few drops of rose water for a calming scent and 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel for an extra boost of hydration.
- Apply to Face: Cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Apply the rice mixture evenly to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Massage gently in circular motions for about 2-3 minutes to exfoliate the skin.
- Let it Sit: Leave the face pack on for 15-20 minutes to allow your skin to absorb all the nutrients. You may notice a tightening sensation—this is the rice working its magic!
- Rinse Off: Use lukewarm water to rinse off the mask, then splash your face with the reserved rice water to seal in moisture. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
- Moisturize: Finish by applying your favorite moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and glowing.
