If you're tired of spending a fortune on skincare products that don't work, it's time to turn to the ancient beauty secret of fermented rice water!
Yep, you read that right – the humble rice grain has a lot more to offer than just a delicious stir-fry base.
So, what's so great about fermented rice water? Let's break it down:
-
Brightens and evens out skin tone: Who needs a filter when you have fermented rice water? Packed with vitamins B and C, it can help brighten and even out your skin tone. Plus, it's got ferulic acid, which sounds fancy, but it's just a superhero that protects your skin from UV damage and promotes collagen production.
-
Hydrates and moisturizes: When it comes to hydration, fermented rice water is like the Beyonce of your skincare. It's loaded with amino acids that can penetrate deep into your skin, leaving it soft and supple.
-
Fights acne and pimples: If your skin is acting like a hormonal teenager, fermented rice water can help. It's got natural antibacterial and antifungal properties that can fight acne and pimples. Plus, it contains inositol, which can help reduce sebum production and prevent clogged pores.
-
Soothes and calms irritated skin: If your skin is sensitive or prone to irritation, fermented rice water can be your knight in shining armor. It's got compounds that can soothe and calm inflamed skin, reducing redness and irritation.
Now, let's get to the fun part – using fermented rice water on your face! Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
You can make your own fermented rice water by soaking rice in water and letting it sit for a few days until it becomes slightly sour and bubbly. Or just buy a bottle of Freyja Botanicals Mellow! Not only have we done all the dirty work for you, we have used top of the line ingredients and secret proportions that make this what we would call, the best fermented rice water rinse you can buy (that doesn't have a bunch of stuff you can't pronounce added to it). Note: If you do decide to make your own, remember that you are not using any preservative, so it is best to store this in the fridge.
-
Wash your face with your favorite cleanser and pat it dry.
-
Soak a cotton pad or a clean cloth in the fermented rice water.
-
Pat the rice water onto your face, avoiding the eye area.
-
Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and use this time to take a few selfies or catch up on your favorite Netflix show.

Rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.
You can use fermented rice water as a facial rinse 2-3 times a week to see the best results. So, now that you know the secret to the fountain of youth... get ready to be even more gorgeous than you already are.
