To make rice water toner, rinse the rice thoroughly and leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then strain the water. Rice water is known for its brightening and hydrating properties, and it can be used as a toner to balance the skin.

What is the difference between fermented and non-fermented rice water, and why might I prefer one over the other?

Fermented rice water is said to have more nutrients and benefits than non-fermented rice water, as the fermentation process increases its antioxidant properties. However, some people might not like the smell of fermented rice water, so it is optional depending on personal preference.

How should I store homemade DIY toners, and for how long are they safe to use?

Homemade DIY toners should be stored in the fridge and used within 5 days. Since they don't contain preservatives, it's important to use them quickly to avoid any bacterial growth or spoilage.

Is there a specific skin type that should avoid these DIY remedies?

These DIY remedies are generally safe for all skin types, but if you have very sensitive skin, you should patch test first. If any irritation occurs, it's best to avoid the ingredient that caused it.

Why is it important to patch test DIY skincare products before using them on your face?

Patch testing is important because it helps to identify any potential allergic reactions or irritation. Applying a small amount of the product on a less sensitive area (like the forearm) and waiting for 1-2 hours can prevent adverse reactions on your face.
