Japanese-Inspired Anti-Aging Face Mask Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp rice (rich in antioxidants and moisturizes skin)
• 1 tbsp honey (a natural humectant that locks in moisture)
• 1 tbsp milk (for gentle exfoliation and brightening)
• 1 tsp matcha green tea powder (high in antioxidants, reduces inflammation)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice: Boil the rice in 1 cup of water until soft, then strain and set aside the rice water.
2. Create the Mask Base: Mash the cooked rice to a paste. Add honey and milk, stirring until smooth.
3. Add Matcha: Mix in the matcha green tea powder to boost the antioxidant properties.
4. Apply: Gently apply the mask to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 20–30 minutes.
5. Rinse: Wash off the mask with the reserved rice water for added nourishment. Pat dry with a soft towel.

Usage: Use this mask once or twice a week for best results. The rice water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and used as a toner.
