Rice water isn’t just a traditional home remedy; it’s the real secret to Korean “glass skin.” Rich in amino acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants, rice water helps brighten complexion and reduce blemishes. If you want a natural, rosy glow without relying on expensive chemical products, you can easily make this night cream at home. Here’s how.
Ingredients for Night Cream
Rice water: 3 to 4 tablespoons
Aloe vera gel: 2 tablespoons
Almond oil or vitamin E capsule: 1 tablespoon or 2 capsules
Rose water: 1 tablespoon
Glycerin: 1/2 teaspoon
How to prepare it
Prepare rice water: Wash 2 to 3 tablespoons of rice thoroughly and soak it in 1/2 cup of water for 2 to 3 hours. When the water turns slightly milky white, strain it and set it aside.
**Prepare the mixture:** Take 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel in a clean bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of thick rice water to it.
**Mix the oil and rose water:** Now, add almond oil (or vitamin E) and rose water. If your skin is very dry, you can also add a little glycerin.
**Mix:** Mix everything together with a spoon until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy, white paste.
**Store:** Transfer the prepared night cream to a clean, airtight glass container and refrigerate. This cream stays fresh for 7 to 10 days.
**Proper way to apply**
Before going to bed, wash your face with a mild face wash and pat dry. Then, take a small amount of the prepared night cream and gently massage it into your face and neck using circular motions for about 2 minutes. Leave it on overnight and rinse with water in the morning. Skin Benefits
