Is it good to wash your face daily with rice-washing water?
Disease description:
Recently, I noticed my best friend using rice-washing water to cleanse her face. I heard it’s beneficial for the skin—so is it safe and advisable to use rice-washing water on the face every day?

Daily use of rice-washing water for facial cleansing is generally not recommended. Rice-washing water contains a certain amount of starch and protein, which can help remove excess sebum and impurities from the skin’s surface and may also improve milia. However, rice-washing water that has been left standing for too long should not be used, as it may trigger allergic skin reactions. In addition to proper skincare, thorough cleansing is essential to prevent follicular occlusion.
