Hi Vinu,
There is no need to exfoliate your skin on a daily basis, whatever the ingredients you are using. Over exfoliating can damage the skin and make your sebaceous glands produce more oil.
Rice is rich in antioxidants and nutrients, which are indeed beneficial for your skin skincare but exfoliating every day may result in increased sensitivity and irritation. The best option is to perform facial exfoliation 2 times a week – this way you can get the optimal effect

Does exfoliating on daily basis not stop the oil content of the skin and make it dry? Or is it essential to use the rice flour paste once a week only?

Hi, Raghavendran!

There’s no need to worry about your beard – the rice flour mask won’t change its’ color. It will improve its’ appearance tho 🙂

Hope you’ll like it!

Hi Katrien!

You can use the same rice you use for cooking. It is up to you to decide whether you are using organic or non-organic.asmati rice seems perfectly fine.

Hope I helped!

I already use the rice flour mask
It takes time but, if you are user you will see results I’m not sure if I’m using the right rice
I like using the normal non organic long grain white rice but, I was told it’s best to use organic rice I can’t find long grain organic rice only Basmati would you please let me know your opinion on this?
Thanks

In reply to Uday Kumar.

Hi Uday,

Very glad you liked the recipes!
You don’t need to boil/cook the rice for the preparation of rice water. Just soak it for an hour and apply to the unevenly pigmented areas using a cotton swab. You don’t need to wash it – just let your skin absorb it.

About the rice flour, you do need to prepare a thick paste. Again, you don’t need to boil the rice flour. Add some water until you obtain a nice consistency and you can use it on your neck and your face. When washing your face, you will also exfoliate the dead skin cells and contaminants, which will gradually improve the overall complexion, while the rice compound will help you brighten those hyperpigmented areas you mentioned.

By the way, you can stay with the rice flour mask for as long as you wish.

The scarring will require a long fix period but if you are user and persistent enough, you’ll get the results desired! 🙂

Hope I was of some help!
Best of luck!
