Then you will be surprised to know that applying fermented water to the face is part of their beauty regimen. I am so impressed by all the ways this simple ingredient can do wonders for your skin. 

First, let’s take a look at how to make fermented rice water.

• First, rinse the rice and add 2 to 3 cups of water.
• Leave it at room temperature for 48 hours.

Why go for expensive skincare products and skin treatments to get better skin, when it can be achieved easily with inexpensive and natural skincare ingredients; rice water. Besides reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it effectively improves skin damage and can also be used to treat skin conditions like atopic dermatitis. 

Balances Skin Oil 

Natural oils are vital for good skin health because they maintain the hydration level and work as a protective barrier. But having too much greasy and shiny face is not that appealing too, and this is where cleansers and toners come in to make oily things balanced. Many skincare products for oily skin have alcohol that may disturb the sebaceous gland activity and can lead to sebum overproduction. This will make the skin even more oily. Applying rice water is a perfect and safest way to balance oily skin. It removes the excess oil and doesn’t dry out the skin.
