How to Use It
As a Hair Rinse:
Shampoo as usual.
Pour ½–1 cup rice water through hair.
Massage into scalp and strands.
Leave on 5–20 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
→ Use 1–2x/week for best results.
As a Facial Toner or Cleanser:
Apply cooled rice water to clean skin with a cotton pad.
Let dry, then follow with moisturizer.
Or soak a cloth in rice water and use as a soothing compress.
→ Use daily (patch test first if sensitive).
Important Safety Tips
Always patch test—some may experience irritation (rare).
Don’t leave fermented rice water out >24 hours—risk of bacterial growth.
Rinse hair thoroughly—starch buildup can weigh down fine hair.
Not a cure-all—complements, but doesn’t replace, medical treatments.
The Bottom Line
