Rice Ice Cubes for Face Icing

Rice water has been a beauty secret in Asian cultures for centuries, known for its skin-brightening, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. Now, you can elevate this ancient remedy by turning it into rice ice cubes for a cooling, soothing facial treatment. These icy gems reduce puffiness, tighten pores, and give your skin a dewy, refreshed glow.

Benefits of Rice Ice Cubes

• Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Rice water is rich in vitamins and amino acids that help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
• Soothes Inflammation: The coolness of the ice combined with rice water’s anti-inflammatory properties calms redness and irritation.
• Minimizes Pores: Regular use tightens the skin and refines pores for a smoother texture.
• Hydrates and Refreshes: Rice ice cubes provide a burst of hydration, leaving your skin plump and glowing.

How to Make Rice Ice Cubes

To make rice ice cubes, start by rinsing 1/2 cup of uncooked white or brown rice thoroughly to remove impurities. Place the rice in a bowl and add 1 1/2 cups of water, letting it soak for 30 minutes to an hour. For added benefits, you can leave it overnight to allow slight fermentation. Once the soaking time is complete, strain the water and pour the nutrient-rich liquid into an ice cube tray. Freeze the tray for 4-5 hours or until the cubes are solid. Your rice ice cubes are now ready to give your skin a refreshing, hydrating boost.

How to Use Rice Ice Cubes

Gently glide a rice ice cube over clean skin in circular motions for 1-2 minutes. Focus on areas prone to puffiness or irritation. Let the skin air dry or pat gently with a clean towel before applying your favorite serum or moisturizer.

Incorporate rice ice cubes into your skincare routine 2-3 times a week for brighter, healthier-looking skin. For an even more lifted and sculpted appearance, try pairing them with a quick Myotone microcurrent treatment after icing!
