1. Simple Rice Water Toner
This is the easiest way to start your new routine, and since rice water is just the liquid from soaking rice, it is super fast to make.
I suggest using this every day because it helps tighten your pores and makes your skin feel fresh and clean.
Ingredients Needed
-
Half cup of raw white rice
-
Two cups of filtered water
-
A spray bottle
How to Make It
First, take your rice and rinse it well to get rid of any dust, then put the clean rice in your bowl and add the water. Let it sit for about 30 minutes until the water looks cloudy.
Now, strain the rice and pour that liquid into your spray bottle. Keep it in the fridge so it stays cold, and then spray it on your face after you wash it. Honestly, it is my favorite.
2. Brightening Rice Flour and Milk Mask
Do you want skin that looks like it is glowing from inside?
This mask is for you. Rice flour acts as a soft scrub and milk has lactic acid which helps clean off dead skin cells.
Ingredients Needed
-
Two tablespoons of rice flour
-
Three tablespoons of warm milk
-
A small mixing bowl
How to Make It
Put your rice flour into the bowl and slowly add the warm milk while you stir it up. Keep going until it looks like a thick, smooth paste, and if it feels too runny, just add a bit more flour to thicken it up.
Apply the paste to your face and neck, then let it sit for about 20 minutes until it feels dry. After that, wash it off with cool water using soft circles.
I have been there when my skin looked dull, and this mask seriously saved me.
3. Rice and Honey Glow Mask
Honey is great because it kills germs and keeps moisture locked into your skin. When you mix it with rice, you get a mask that heals and brightens at the same time, which is perfect if you have dry skin.
If you are struggling with acne, check out this trending korean skincare guide. Trust me, it will help you a lot.
Ingredients Needed
-
One tablespoon of rice flour
-
One tablespoon of raw honey
-
A tiny bit of water if needed
How to Make It
Mix your rice flour and honey together in a small dish, and keep in mind it might be a bit sticky. If the honey is too thick to move, you can add a few drops of water.
Spread it on your skin evenly and wait for 15 minutes before you rinse it off with warm water. You will notice your face looks much more hydrated, and personally, I love how honey makes my skin feel plump and healthy.
4. Rice and Tomato Juice for Dark Spots
Sometimes we get dark spots from the sun or old marks. It can be annoying, right?
Tomato juice is acidic and helps lighten those spots and rice helps smooth the skin.
Ingredients Needed
-
Half of a fresh tomato
-
One tablespoon of rice flour
How to Make It
Squeeze the juice from the tomato half into a bowl, but try to keep the seeds out of it. Mix the juice with your rice flour, and then apply this paste on the dark spots or your whole face if you want a full glow.
Let it dry for about 10 minutes, then wash it off and make sure to use a good moisturizer. Be sure to do this at night because tomato can make skin a bit sensitive to the sun.
5. Rice Flour and Green Tea Scrub
Green tea is full of antioxidants that help fight aging and keep your skin looking healthy. When you combined with rice flour, it makes a wonderful scrub. It helps clear out your pores.
If you are struggling with tanning, check out our top guide on the website. Many people have shared their results after trying those remedies.
Ingredients Needed
-
One bag of green tea
-
Two tablespoons of rice flour
-
A cup of hot water
How to Make It
Brew the green tea in the hot water and let it cool down completely. Take two tablespoons of rice flour and add the cool tea slowly until it feels a bit grainy so it can scrub well.
Rub the mix on your skin in soft circles. This removes the old skin and lets the new skin shine through. It is a total game changer for my routine.
6. Fermented Rice Water Wash
Did you know that letting rice water sit makes it stronger?
This is called fermentation. It changes the liquid to match your skin better. It is very popular in many countries for a reason.
Ingredients Needed
-
Rice water from the first recipe
-
A glass jar with a lid
How to Make It
Follow the steps from 1st recipe to make basic rice water. Then, instead of putting it in the fridge, put it in a glass jar. Let it sit on your counter for two days at room temperature. It might smell a bit sour, but that is totally normal.
After two days, move the jar to the fridge. Use this liquid to wash your face or even your hair. It makes hair very shiny and skin very firm. Believe it or not, this old secret is still one of the best.
7. Rice and Aloe Vera Soothing Gel
If your skin feels itchy or a bit red from the sun, you need something very calming. Aloe vera is the king of soothing and rice adds a brightening effect to it that is great for hot summer days.
Ingredients Needed
-
Two tablespoons of rice water
-
One tablespoon of aloe vera gel
How to Make It
Mix your rice water with the aloe vera gel in a small cup until it looks smooth and clear. It should look like a light jelly that is easy to spread.
Rub it on your skin and leave it on, and the best part is you do not even have to wash it off. It acts like a light serum that sinks right in, and I think you will really love how light it feels on a warm day.
8. Rice Flour and Turmeric Brightening Pack
Turmeric is a bright yellow spice that is famous for making skin glow like crazy. But be careful and use only a tiny bit so you don’t accidentally turn your face yellow.
If you want to remove pigmentation fast, read this guide. Trust me, it will help you a lot.
Ingredients Needed

A tiny pinch of turmeric powder
-
One tablespoon of water or milk
How to Make It

Leave it for only 10 minutes and wash it off very well with your normal cleanser. Your skin will look much brighter immediately. It is kind of like a natural highlighter for your whole face.
9. Rice and Cucumber Cooling Mask
Cucumber is mostly water, so it helps hydrate and cool down. It helps you look rested and fresh, even if you don’t feel that way.
Ingredients Needed
-
Half of a cucumber
-
Two tablespoons of rice flour
How to Make It
Grate the cucumber and squeeze the juice into a bowl, then mix that juice with the rice flour. If you want it extra cold, put the mixture in the fridge for five minutes before you use it.
Apply the cold mixture to your face. Close your eyes and relax and wait for 15 minutes. After you wash it, you will feel like you just came from a spa.
10. Rice Flour and Yogurt for Oily Skin
Oily skin can be a real struggle, and I know how that feels when your face is shiny by lunchtime. Yogurt has good bacteria that cleans the skin, while rice flour sucks up the extra oil.
Ingredients Needed
-
One tablespoon of rice flour
-
One tablespoon of plain yogurt
How to Make It
Mix the rice flour with the plain yogurt. Make sure the yogurt is not flavored. Then, apply it to your face and wait for it to dry. As it dries, it will feel a bit tight on your skin.
Rinse it off with lukewarm water. It is a great way to keep your face looking fresh during the day.

If your skin feels rough, you need a good scrub. You can use rice flour, white sugar, and a little olive oil. This is a bit stronger than other scrubs.
Ingredients Needed
-
One tablespoon of rice flour
-
One tablespoon of white sugar
-
One tablespoon of olive oil
How to Make It
Stir all three ingredients in a small bowl until they are blended well. Use it on your face or even on your elbows and knees where the skin gets tough.
Make sure to be very gentle on your face, because you are not scrubbing a floor, after all. Use it once a week to keep your skin feeling like silk, and on top of that, it feels really luxurious.
12. Rice and Egg White Firming Mask
Egg whites are famous for tightening the skin and making it feel firm. If you want your face to look lifted for a special event, try this one out.
Ingredients Needed
-
One egg white
-
One tablespoon of rice water
How to Make It
Separate the egg white from the yolk, then beat the egg white until it is bubbly and white. Add a tablespoon of rice water to it and mix again until it is well combined.
Apply it with a brush or your fingers, then let it dry completely. You will not be able to move your face much, but that is normal. Wash it off with cold water, and your skin will look very tight and smooth.
