1. Start by rinsing 1/2 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water. This step is necessary to remove any dirt and impurities on rice.

2. Place the washed rice in a bowl and add 2 cups of water. Let the rice soak for about 30 minutes. As it soaks, gently stir the rice occasionally.

3. After 30 minutes, drain the rice, and reserve the water. The rice water should have a cloudy appearance, indicating it has absorbed the essential nutrients.

4. Pour the rice water into a clean, airtight bottle or container.

5. Store the rice toner in the refrigerator. It can last up to a week in the refrigerator. The cool temperature not only helps preserve the toner but also adds a refreshing feeling when applied to the skin.
