Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cucumber juice
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp rice flour

Why These Ingredients

  • Cucumber adds a fresh, water-rich feel that makes the mask light and cooling.

How to prepare

Mix 1 tbsp cucumber juice, 1 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp rice flour 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.

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.
