Rice as lightening agent

This is news to me, can you share this tip with us, rice water how

I never tried and know the fact. But I will try the same. Thanks for sharing information.

U know that we wash rice before we cook right. Use that water just to splash on the face and then pat dry the face.That is the trick and in less than 3 weeks our face will begin to glow.

No i have never did it yet. is it true that rice water is hygienic for face.

It is new information.But I think it will be difficult to many due to the gummy nature of rice water.

Thank you Swetha for the tip, will try this for 3 weeks

Hey Swetha, thanks for this simple tip, I know about using powdered rice for such purposes, but not the rice water. I clean my face weekly with powdered rice, its a good scrub.

Abid, the water is only used to wash the rice so it will not be gummy, it becomes after we boil rice in it.

We also use this water to drink during hot seasons, because it has a cooling effect on our body.

Ya kalyani, you are right the water is not sticky. Some people use even rice powder

Do you just use the rice powder with water or do you add drops of lemon to it?

Swetha, I add a little raw milk(unboiled) and then rub it on the skin. Sometimes, if I feel my skin is too oily or there are some blackheads, then I add lemon drops!

Nice tip. I never heard this before.I will try this to take result.

Thanks Kalyani,I am having an uneven tone skin. I thought why not try this out.

I even heard that Baking soda does wonders. Did you try baking soda?

I am asking because I havent tried it yet.

HI Swetha, I haven't heard of baking soda for this purpose, but probably it works like soap since its alkaline in nature. For you, if you have uneven skin tone then best try besan (chick pea flour) with a few drops of lemon juice, milk or curds and a little bit of turmeric. Its the best one!

Please suggest something to darken the skin complexion.

Gulshan, now this is something unusual! People always ask for something to lighten color and you are asking for becoming dark!

Anyway, I don't know much about this one, but strong concoction of boiled tea (without sugar) is cooled and then applied to darken eyebrows, this might work for the skin too!

I am not serious about darkening my skin. I am comfortable with my skin color. But thanks for the suggestion.
