#8 Beauty tip of the day

Korean women have the most awesome clear and smooth skin. Have you ever wondered what they use for their skin care routine? Let me tell you. Korean women swear by rice water for skin and hair care. They include rice water in their skincare routine as toner, mask and face wash. Rice water has the property to make skin smooth by reducing the pores. Just dip cotton balls in rice water and apply it on your skin and leave it on to be absorbed by the skin. Wash off with cold water. You can also add rice water to your face packs to get glowing skin.   Picture source: Google Images.
