DIY Rice Enzyme Cleanser: A Gentle Homemade Exfoliating Cleanser

Foamy or Gel-like Texture – The cleanser in a marshmallow-like or creamy consistency.


Introduction

Rice enzyme cleansers have gained popularity in skincare due to their gentle exfoliating properties, skin-brightening benefits, and ability to cleanse without stripping moisture. This homemade rice enzyme cleanser is an all-natural, DIY alternative to commercial enzyme powders, offering a soft, foamy texture while gently removing impurities and dead skin cells.

Benefits of a DIY Rice Enzyme Cleanser

Brightens skin: Rice enzymes help fade dark spots and even out skin tone.
Gentle exfoliation: Natural enzymes break down dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing.
Soothes irritation: Ideal for sensitive skin, rice is known for its calming effects.
Hydrates the skin: Retains moisture, leaving skin soft and plump.
Boosts collagen: Rice contains antioxidants that support skin elasticity.


DIY Rice Enzyme Cleanser Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp rice flour (or finely ground rice) – exfoliates and brightens
  • 1 tbsp oat flour – soothes and nourishes the skin
  • ½ tsp papaya powder (optional) – enhances enzymatic exfoliation
  • 1 tbsp kaolin clay – absorbs excess oil and impurities
  • ½ tsp coconut milk powder (or goat milk powder) – softens and hydrates
  • 1 capsule probiotic powder (optional) – boosts skin microbiome health

How to Make It:

  1. Grind rice (if using whole rice) into a fine powder using a coffee grinder.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, mix rice flour, oat flour, papaya powder, kaolin clay, and milk powder.
  3. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Store in an airtight container in a dry place.

How to Use:

  • Take ½ teaspoon of the powder in your palm.
  • Add a few drops of warm water and rub between hands until it forms a creamy, foamy paste.
  • Gently massage onto damp skin in circular motions for about 30 seconds.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
