Making your own rice toner at home is not only budget-friendly but also a great way to avoid the harsh chemicals often found in commercial products.

Here’s how to easily create this skin-loving, nourishing rice toner right in the comfort of your kitchen!

Ingredients and Materials You’ll Need

  • 1/2 cup of uncooked rice (white or brown rice works best)
  • 2 cups of water
  • A bowl
  • A strainer or sieve
  • A spray bottle or small container for storage

Step-by-Step guide on how to make your rice toner

Step 1: Rinse the Rice


Start by rinsing the uncooked rice under cold water. This will remove any dirt or impurities from the rice that could potentially irritate your skin. You only need to rinse the rice for a few seconds until the water runs clear.

Step 2: Soak the Rice


Once the rice is clean, place it in a bowl and add the 2 cups of water. Let the rice soak for about 30 minutes to an hour. During this time, the rice will release its beneficial vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants into the water.

Step 3: Stir the Rice


After the rice has been soaking for a while, stir it around in the water using your hands. This helps release more nutrients into the water, turning it cloudy. The cloudier the water, the more potent your rice toner will be.

Step 4: Strain the Rice


Once you’ve stirred the rice for a minute or two, strain the water through a sieve into a clean bowl. The water that’s been collected is your rice toner.

Step 5: Store the Rice Toner


Pour the strained rice water into a spray bottle or small container. This will make it easy to apply as part of your skincare routine. If you’re using a spray bottle, you can spritz the toner directly onto your face. Otherwise, you can pour a small amount onto a cotton pad and apply it that way.

Step 6: Refrigerate


For freshness, store your homemade rice toner in the refrigerator. It will stay good for about 5 to 7 days. The cold temperature also makes it extra soothing when applied to the skin.

Optional: Ferment the Rice Water for Extra Benefits

If you want to take your rice toner up a notch, you can let the rice water ferment. To do this, leave the strained rice water at room temperature for 24 hours before refrigerating. Fermented rice water contains more antioxidants and has enhanced skin-soothing properties, making it even more effective for achieving a glowing complexion.

How to Use Your Homemade Rice Toner

  • After cleansing your face, shake your bottle of rice toner and apply it using a cotton pad or by spritzing it directly onto your face.
  • Gently pat your skin to help the toner absorb.
  • Follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in hydration.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a nutrient-packed rice toner that can help brighten, hydrate, and smooth your skin naturally.
