Vitamin B5 is the main element that transforms rice water into a “serum” for skin care, together with proteins and other vitamins that feed the skin, such as C and E.

1. Face Mask

After washing the rice, take the first batch of water and transfer it to a clean bowl. Apply the white sediment on your face. While washing your face, apply warm water and gently massage it in. Finally, rinse with cold water to help tighten the pores. Do this once a week for optimal results.

2. Makeup Remover

Using rice water as a natural makeup remover will eventually leave your skin smooth and beautiful. Afterward, always cleanse your face with warm water.

3. Tightens pores.

Freeze the rice water into little ice cubes. Massage these rice water cubes into your face once a day and then wash it with warm water. The combination of rice water and temperature change will assist to tighten the pores.

4. Whiter teeth, fresher breath.

After washing the rice, preserve the water and clean your teeth. This natural toothpaste will freshen your breath and whiten discolored teeth, minimizing the need for professional cleanings.

5. Reduces split ends and hair breakage.

Rice water should be stored at room temperature in a ceramic or porcelain container (rather than glass). After around 10 days, when it begins to smell somewhat sour, you may use it. It contains vitamins A and C, which make hair shinier, as well as vitamin B, which helps to color hair. Massage onto your scalp twice a week and rinse with clean water to get healthier, shinier hair.

6. Hand wash.

Rice water is also an excellent handwashing solution. After washing the rice, use the water to clean and soften your hands.
