Rice water is often called “miracle water” in beauty routines. Here’s how it can be used:
1. **Face Mask**: After washing rice, collect the first batch of water. Apply the white sediment to your face, massage gently with warm water, and rinse with cold water to tighten pores. For extra benefits, freeze rice water into ice cubes and massage them on your face daily before rinsing with warm water. This helps “tighten the pores.”
2. **Makeup Remover**: Rice water works as a natural makeup remover. After use, cleanse your face with warm water for smoother skin.
3. **Whiter Teeth & Fresh Breath**: Use rice water as a mouth rinse to whiten teeth and freshen breath, reducing the need for professional treatments.
4. **Hair Care**: Store rice water in a ceramic container. After 10 days, it will be slightly sour and ready to use. Rich in vitamins A, B, and C, it promotes shinier, healthier hair when massaged into the scalp twice a week.
5. **Hand Wash**: Rice water is an effective and gentle hand wash, leaving hands soft and clean.
