Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup uncooked rice (preferably organic)
- 1 cup water
- Optional: a few drops of essential oil (such as lavender or rosemary) for added fragrance and skincare benefits
Instructions:
- Rinse the uncooked rice thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities or excess starch.
- Place the rinsed rice in a clean bowl and add the water.
- Let the rice soak in the water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, the water will become cloudy as the rice releases its nutrients and compounds.
- After soaking, strain the rice water into a clean container, discarding the rice grains.
- If desired, add a few drops of your chosen essential oil to the rice water and stir well to combine.
- Transfer the rice water toner to a clean spray bottle or container for easy application.
- Store the toner in the refrigerator to prolong its freshness and efficacy.
- To use, simply spritz the rice water toner onto clean skin or apply it using a cotton pad. Gently pat the toner into your skin and allow it to dry before applying moisturizer or other skincare products.
