Part 5: Common Mistakes with DIY Rice Treatments

Using homemade food products on your face comes with a few essential caveats to avoid damaging your skin barrier:

• Bacterial Growth: Homemade rice water ferments rapidly at room temperature. Using spoiled rice water can introduce harmful bacteria to your face, triggering breakouts or infections.

• Drying Effects: Leaving starchy rice masks on for too long can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it tight, dry, and prone to irritation.
