Yield: 1 application
Cost: $1
Equipment
- Small bowl and spoon
Materials
- 1 cup rice milk homemade or store bought
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rosewater
- 5 drops essential oil
- ¼ cup brown rice flour homemade or store bought
Instructions
- Make rice milk, if using homemade: Cook 1 cup of rice. Let it cool for a few minutes and transfer it to a blender. Blend the rice and water in the blender until it's smooth and creamy. Pour the blended rice milk through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine-mesh strainer into a clean container to separate the liquid from any remaining rice solids. Transfer the strained rice milk to a clean, airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- Make rice flour, if using homemade: Grind rice in a food processor (or coffee grinder for smaller batches) until it turns into a fine powder. Sift the ground rice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any larger particles. Put in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.
- Combine rice milk, honey, rosewater and essential oil in small bowl and whisk together. Transfer to a sterilized bottle with a lid.
- Use your fingertips to massage the cleansing milk onto your skin. Be gentle, and make sure you cover your entire face, including your neck and jawline. Avoid getting the cleansing milk in your eyes. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
- To exfoliate, mix 1 tablespoon flour and milk cleanser together to form a paste and apply to skin. Repeat 2-3 times a week.
