Why Rice Flour for Skin?
Sick of your skin being cranky, pimpled one day, dehydrated the next, and dull most days? Perhaps it’s time to end playing product roulette. All those miracle-in-a-bottle creams, serums, and moisturizers sound wonderful, but there’s a cost and harsh chemicals, long-term risk, and an aching bank account each month.
Now, wait.
What if the true magic was waiting quietly in your kitchen drawer?
Yes, that plain white rice you steam with. Mill it. Utilize the flour. Your skin will bless you with a vocabulary that no filter can reproduce. Rice flour is antioxidant-rich, non-irritating, and when combined with the right comrades-in-arms, can fight pigmentation, oiliness, and that dull, tired tone that won’t quit.
1. Rice Flour & Turmeric Glow Pack
Turmeric isn’t only good for curries, it’s gold of the ages. It’s traditional, the unsung hero of the skin, battling bacteria, redness, and spots without anyone noticing. Now combine that with rice flour, and you’ve got a skin elixir that needn’t take a bow, it just does its thing.
How to make:
One tablespoon of rice flour should be spooned into a bowl.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric (wild turmeric if you’re all about the high-end treatment)
Add enough raw milk to create a paste.
Apply on face and allow to dry. Rinse with cold water after 15 minutes. Watch your skin breathe.
Apply twice a week. Allow your skin to breathe in between.
2. Oil-Control Rice Flour & Multani Mitti Pack

What you’ll need:
1 heaping tablespoon of rice flour
1 tablespoon of Multani mitti
Rose water, as much as is needed to form a smooth, silky paste
Use with gentle fingers. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Wash. Enjoy the cool.
Nature, Unfiltered
This isn’t instant magic. But it is true. And truth is uncommon. These masks won’t scream with promise, whisper results. Patiently wait. Be routine. Allow your skin learn the rhythm of nature once again.
