1 cup rice (preferably organic), 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel, 1 teaspoon glycerin, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil, 1 teaspoon rose water, 2-3 drops of essential oil (optional).

Begin by thoroughly rinsing 1 cup of rice under cold water to remove any dirt and impurities. This step ensures that your rice gel is clean and free of any unwanted particles.

Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover it with 2 cups of water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes. This helps to soften the rice and release its beneficial nutrients.

Transfer the soaked rice and water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Once it reaches a boiling point, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the rice is fully cooked and soft, typically around 15-20 minutes.

Allow the cooked rice to cool slightly. Then, place the rice and the leftover water into a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more water to help it blend more easily.

Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the rice mixture into a bowl. This step helps to remove any remaining rice particles, leaving you with a smooth rice gel.

Mix in 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of glycerin into the strained rice gel. Aloe vera is known for its soothing and hydrating properties, while glycerin helps to lock in moisture.

Add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil to the mixture. Honey is a natural humectant and antioxidant, which helps to keep the skin moisturized and youthful. Vitamin E oil promotes skin healing and provides additional anti-aging benefits.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water and 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional) for fragrance and added skin benefits. Rose water helps to balance the skin's pH and has anti-inflammatory properties. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Store the anti-aging Korean rice gel in a clean, airtight container and keep it refrigerated. Apply a small amount to your face and neck, gently massaging it into your skin in upward circular motions. Use it daily as part of your skincare routine to enjoy its nourishing and anti-aging benefits.
