Not long ago, we introduced you to the comprehensive uses of rice water and received extremely positive feedback from many women. However, if you pay closer attention and expand further, you will find that not only rice water but also its “sisters” like rice bran or rice flour can bring wonderful benefits to skin care and beauty. Right here, let us update you with more simple yet useful tips!

Minimize pores with a face mask

Every time you make rice, collect 1 small bowl of water and leave it for 1 session to settle. Then, collect the water underneath and apply it evenly on your face, massaging for 5 – 10 minutes. The abundant vitamin B5 in rice water will seep in and give you smooth, tightened skin. For convenience, you can also replace this method by mixing rice flour with water in a 1: 1 ratio and performing as usual.

Sun protection, lightening dark skin

This use is made by mixing rice flour, honey, and green tea. First, mix 2 tablespoons of rice flour with 2 tablespoons of green tea. Then add 1/2 small cup of condensed green tea. Mix the mixture well and apply it on your face for about 15-20 minutes. In that short time, your skin will form an “invisible” mask layer that can protect you against all-day UV rays and is no less effective than sunscreen!

Treat melasma, reduce wrinkles

The next use of rice flour is sure to appeal to women. It is about reducing melasma and fading all wrinkles quickly and effectively. You won’t need much time with this method either. Just mix 3 tablespoons of rice flour, 2 tablespoons of fresh milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey and dissolve the mixture. Finally, apply it on your face and leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing it off with cool water. If done regularly twice a week, you will quickly see encouraging results.

Exfoliate facial dead skin

Rice bran may not be unfamiliar to diligent housewives. However, in addition to its culinary use, this type of rice bran also contributes significantly to helping women exfoliate dead cells effectively. You can mix 2 tablespoons of rice bran with 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 egg white (for oily skin) or 1 egg yolk (for dry skin). Dissolve the mixture and use your hands to gently massage your face for about 5 minutes. Be gentle so that the sharp edges of the rice bran do not harm the skin. Relax for about 15 minutes before rinsing with regular facial cleanser. Due to its gentle ingredients, you can do this twice a week.

Exfoliate full-body dead skin

Before bathing, take 1 small bowl of rice bran and mix it well with 1/2 cup of fresh milk (which can be replaced with orange juice or warm water). Use this mixture to apply on the skin and massage gently in a spiral motion to remove dead cells on the surface. Finally, rinse off with regular water or take another bath with body wash for oily skin. Remember to do this 2-3 times a week to see surprising results!
