Dark Spots

Potato Rice Bright Mask

A gentle bright-looking ritual.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp fresh potato juice
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tbsp raw honey

Why These Ingredients

  • Potato juice creates a light, fresh base often used for a brighter-looking DIY ritual.
  • Rice flour gives a soft, creamy body and a very gentle polished feel when finely sifted.
  • Honey helps attract moisture to the skin’s surface and gives the mask a soft, cushiony texture.

How to prepare

Mix 1 tbsp fresh potato juice, 1 tbsp rice flour, 1 tbsp raw honey in a small clean bowl until smooth. Use immediately; do not store leftovers. If you make rice flour at home, grind dry uncooked white rice in a clean coffee grinder or high-speed blender, then sift it through a fine sieve so it feels soft and not scratchy on skin.

How to apply

Apply a thin even layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye area, lips and broken skin.

How long to leave on skin

Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Frequency of use

Use 1–2 times per week. For sensitive skin or citrus/turmeric/salt recipes, start with once weekly.

Patch test note

Patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours before facial use. Stop immediately if stinging, redness or irritation appears.
