The aftercare

After applying rice water ice cubes for that glass-skin glow, it’s important to follow up with the right aftercare so your skin stays nourished and protected. Once the ice has melted and absorbed, gently pat your face dry and immediately lock in the hydration with a lightweight moisturiser, this prevents any dryness or tightness caused by the cold. If you’re doing this in the morning, always follow up with sunscreen, since rice water can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Keeping your routine simple post-application ensures that the brightening, pore-tightening benefits of rice water are sealed in, leaving your skin fresh, supple, and radiant.
