how to make rice water toner

To make rice water toner at home, start by rinsing ½ cup of uncooked rice thoroughly to remove impurities. Then soak the rinsed rice in 1 ½ cups of water for about 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. This soaking allows the water to absorb nutrients from the rice, becoming cloudy. Strain the rice water into a clean container, discarding the rice. Add optional skincare ingredients like niacinamide and vegetable glycerin to enhance the toner, stirring well. Transfer the mixture into a clean bottle, and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use it as a toner by applying to the face with a cotton pad after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. This simple homemade rice water toner helps hydrate, soothe, and brighten the skin naturally.
