Let's look at a few ways to make rice water.

讓我們來看看幾種製作洗米水的方法。

First, we use organic white rice.

首先，我們使用有機白米。

I have not used non-organic.

我沒有使用過非有機的。

So I can't say if there is a difference.

所以，我不能說是否有區別。

Take a quarter cup of the rice and wash it extremely well.

取四分之一杯的米，並清洗得非常乾淨。

Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil, place the rice into the boiling water, turn the temperature to low, cover and simmer to cook for 15 minutes.

將 1.5 杯水燒開，將米放入沸水中，調至低溫，蓋上蓋子，小火煮 15 分鐘。

Drain the water from the rice and let it cool.

瀝乾米飯中的水，待其冷卻。

This makes about three tablespoons of rice water which we will now dilute with one cup of water.

這樣就能得到大約三湯匙的洗米水，現在我們將用一杯水將其稀釋。

The rice alone is very potent, so diluting it with water is necessary.

單獨的米已經很強效了，所以用水稀釋是必要的。

Drain and transfer into a spray bottle.

瀝乾後裝到噴霧瓶中。

The second method is simple. Take half a cup of washed rice and combine it with two cups of filtered water.

第二種方法很簡單，取半杯洗淨的米與兩杯過濾水混合。

Let it sit for 1 to 2 hours; strain and transfer into a spray bottle.

靜置 1 到 2 個小時，過濾後裝入噴霧瓶。

Method three is fermenting the rice water.

第三種方法是發酵米水。

Repeat method two, let it ferment for two days in a cool area, you'll know it's well fermented when it smells sour.

重複方法二，在陰涼的地方發酵兩天，當它散發出酸味時，就表示發酵得很好。

Drain and transfer into a bottle and refrigerate for an hour to stop the fermentation process.

瀝乾後轉移到瓶中，放入冰箱冷藏一小時，以停止發酵過程。

We use method one and this amount of rice water is enough for two.

我們用的是第一種方法，這樣的米水量足夠兩個人使用。

It will last us more than a week.

它能讓我們用一個多星期。

We use it twice a day every day and I like to use it as my toner before the rest of my skin care regimen.

我們每天使用兩次，我喜歡在使用其他護膚品之前用它作為爽膚水。

We spray a generous amount and let it air dry.

我們噴灑適量，然後晾乾。

Rice water can last up to seven days, after that, it will start to have a sour smell.

洗米水最多可保存七天，之後就會開始有酸味。

But if you store it in the fridge, it can last up to two weeks.

但如果把它放在冰箱裡，可以保存兩週。

And now on to the results.

接下來是成果。

Here are the before shots of my skin before I started using rice water.

下面是我使用洗米水前的皮膚照片。

As you can see, my skin has a lot of dark spots and pigmentation.

如你所見，我的皮膚有很多黑斑和色素沉著。

My pores are rather large, it felt uneven and was rough and dry.

我的毛孔比較粗大，感覺不均勻，而且粗糙乾燥。

My hubby's skin is inflamed and red from acne flare ups and one side of his face was red and healing from a burn.

我丈夫的皮膚因痤瘡發作而發炎發紅，他的一邊臉也因曬傷而發紅。

And now here are the results after using rice water for three months.

接著是使用洗米水三個月後的結果。

The skin is visibly smooth, brighter, hydrated and is overall looking glowing and healthy.

皮膚明顯變得光滑、明亮、水潤，整體看起來容光煥發、健康。

I felt a huge difference when I applied makeup to my face.

當我在臉上化妝時，我感覺到了巨大的不同。

The makeup seemed to look more flawless and less bumpy.

妝容看起來似乎更加完美無瑕，不再那麼凹凸不平。

The hubby scabs from the burn completely healed in about three weeks and his acne flare ups are completely gone.

大約三週後，老公身上的曬傷結痂完全癒合，痤瘡也完全消失了。

我們認為洗米水值得一試。
