1. The Ancient Asian Secret: Rice Water for Radiance
For centuries, Asian women — especially in Japan and Korea — have used rice water as a natural remedy to brighten, soften and rejuvenate the skin.
This ancestral beauty ritual is simple yet incredibly effective.
At Seorya, we deeply appreciate this philosophy: pure, gentle, natural glow.
2. Why Rice Water Works (The Seorya Explanation)
Rice water contains powerful skin-enhancing compounds:
-
Amino acids → repair the skin
-
Ferulic acid → antioxidant protection
-
Vitamins B & E → brightness and smoothness
-
Starch molecules → soften texture
-
Minerals → boost hydration
This combination delivers a natural glow , evens out skin tone and strengthens the skin barrier.
3. Benefits of Rice Water
A true multi-tasking beauty ingredient:
✔ brightens the complexion
✔ reduces dullness
✔ calms irritation
✔ softens and smooths texture
✔ reduces appearance of pores
✔ boosts hydration
✔ helps fade dark spots over time
It is gentle enough for all skin types , including sensitive skin.
4. Traditional Methods of Preparation
There are two main traditional ways to prepare rice water:
1 — Soaked Rice Water
Rinse rice → soak in water → keep the milky liquid.
Best for brightening and hydration.
2 — Fermented Rice Water
Let rice water sit 24–48 hours → natural fermentation occurs.
More potent, great for anti-aging and skin clarity.
Both methods are widely used in Asian beauty culture.
