- ½ cup uncooked rice
- 2 cups water
- 5–6 whole cloves
- Clean spray bottle
- Fine strainer
Step 1: Wash the Rice
Place the rice in a bowl and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and impurities.
Step 2: Prepare the Infusion
Add the washed rice, water, and cloves to a clean jar or bowl.
Allow the mixture to soak for 8–12 hours or overnight.
Step 3: Strain the Liquid
After soaking, strain the liquid into a clean bowl.
Discard the rice and cloves or save the rice for cooking.
Step 4: Transfer to a Spray Bottle
Pour the strained liquid into a sterilized spray bottle.
Shake gently before each use.
Step 5: Cleanse Your Face
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
Starting with clean skin helps the toner work more effectively.
Step 6: Apply the Toner
Close your eyes and lightly mist your face.
Allow it to absorb naturally or gently pat it into the skin.
Step 7: Follow with Moisturizer
After the toner dries, apply your favorite moisturizer to help lock in hydration.
How Often to Use
- Morning and evening
- Up to 2–3 times daily if desired

Storage Tips

Important Note
Claims such as “glass skin in one week” or “dramatic skin transformation” are not scientifically proven. Rice water and clove toners may help refresh and hydrate the skin, but results vary from person to person. Healthy skin is best achieved through consistent skincare, proper hydration, sun protection, and a balanced diet.
