Should I apply boiled rice water on my skin for glow?

Rice water can actually work for hydration and mild brightening but do not expect miracles. Boiled rice water is rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals that can help with skin texture over time.

• The starch content helps lock in moisture and the antioxidants protect from environmental damage.
• But here is the real talk: results take 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use and they are subtle.
• Do not leave homemade rice water for too long as it can develop bacteria especially if fermented.
• Store it in the fridge and use within a few days.
• You might notice softer skin immediately after use but for actual brightening or glow it takes patience.
• Use it as a toner or in masks but do not skip your other skincare routine thinking rice water is a miracle worker.
