Fermented Rice Water Ritual on a Budget

Fermented Rice Water Ritual on a Budget

Rice water is a quiet brightening rinse with a long kitchen history. Keep batches small, stay clean, and discard anything that smells off.

What you’ll need

  • ½ cup uncooked rice
  • Clean glass jar
  • Filtered water

How to use it

  1. Rinse rice, then soak in water 30 minutes; swirl and strain for same-day use.
  2. Optional ferment: cover loosely 12–24 hours in a cool spot, then refrigerate.
  3. After cleansing, use as a final cool rinse or cotton wipe.
  4. Moisturize after. Discard within a few refrigerated days.
