DIY: Using rice water to wash your face

So I'm sure a lot of people have already heard about using rice water to wash your face and all the great things about it. I don't make rice very often and, honestly, I've just been too lazy to try this but I've finally tried it the other day. To my surprise, it works really well. My skin feels soft and smooth after washing with rice water. I've been keeping my rice water in the fridge so its feels refreshingly cool. I just feel so clean afterwards. It also seems to help with controlling the oil production on my skin, since my skin is less oily the next day.

For those who have never heard about using rice water to wash your face, it's very simple.
The rice water contains vitamins and nutrients that are beneficial to your skin. You can use it to rinse your face after washing with a cleanser or use it as a toner. I have tried both and the results are great. I have read about others using organic rice to make rice water because it is pesticide free. I would suggest this to you if you have organic rice available or have sensitive skin. I personally did not use organic rice because I didn't have any at home.

To make rice water all you do is take some rice and place it into a bowl (I wash my rice in the rice cooker bowl) and wash the rice with water. As you're washing the rice, the water should turn cloudy and white. This is the water that you want to collect. If you're using non-organic rice, you may want to drain out this first "washing" and collect the water from the second and third washings. Typically when cooking rice, you would wash about 2-3 times anyway.

If you're going to use the rice water right away, you can collect it in a bowl. Otherwise you may want to place it into a bottle for later use. Rice water does not keep for very long and I strongly recommend placing it in the fridge. If your water changes color or starts to smell funny, dump it out!
