Beauty Tip # 3: Rice Flour Scrub as a Gentle Exfoliator
If you have sensitive skin, skin that breaks out easily or skin that is oil with dry patches; you should not be using traditional scrubs for your face. The store-bought scrubs are often too harsh and chemically and will further damage your skin. Of course, exfoliation is important. The best thing for your skin is to use a gentle and fine exfoliator that does not irritate the skin. This is why I recommend using Rice flour Scrub
The Method
Please Note that I recommend grinding your own rice flour as the store bought versions are too superfine to act as an exfoliator.
Important: If you are allergic to turmeric leave it out, I recommend doing a patch test 48 hours earlier.
How to Make the Scrub?
Ingredients
½ Cup Semi-Coarse Home Ground Rice Flour
¼ Cup Gram Flour
½ Tsp. Tumeric Powder
Method
- First soak half a cup of rice in water over night.
- In the morning drain the rice and spread out on an absorbent cloth and leave for 3 hours. Do not let rice dry completely. They should still fell cool and wet to the fingers after this; but the excess moisture must be gone, leaving only the water that has already been absorbed into the rice.
- Now put the rice into an electric grinder and grind until they become powder.
- After this sieve it through a coarse mesh sieve to get out any large fragments.
- Spread the rice on a tray and let sit in the hot sun, covered by a thin cloth.
- After 3 hours it should be relatively dry. Now, mix in the Gram flour and turmeric.
- Put the mixture in a sterilized jar and keep in the fridge.
- Should keep for a month.
How to Use?
Use a about a teaspoon-full of rice flour scrub to scrub your face gently once or twice a week.
