1. Fill the Tub with Milk

Ok, not all the way up, but pouring an ample amount of milk in your tub with the water is great for glowing skin, according to woman all over France, making it one of the most glamorous skincare secrets from around the world. The lactic acid in the milk helps soften and smooth your skin without any harsh chemicals or rough exfoliating items. Just pour a couple of cups of milk into your warm bath water and take a nice, long soak. You can also use cream for the same benefits.

2. Escape from the City

When you’re a city dweller, there are certain sacrifices you have to make. One is the pollution that does a number on your skin. Bulgarian women make it a point to escape the big city for at least a week every so often. That way, their skin can take a break and rejuvenate. You can do the same by spending a few days camping, hiking or relaxing in the country.

3. Make a Grape Face Mask

Grapes taste great and have tons of benefits for the inside of your body. It turns out they’re great for the outside too. In Chile, women make paste out of grapes and use it as a face mask. You can do the same by combining the mashed grapes with a bit of flour to hold them together and smearing it on your face. Leave it for about 10 minutes before washing with warm water.

4. Wash with Rice Water

Rice is a super cheap diet staple, but you can use the water after it’s done cooking to clean your face. Chinese women swear by the technique because it helps pull dirt and debris from your pores and leaves your facial skin looking radiant and fresh. So next time you make rice, save the rice water and use it to wash up.

5. Cut up a Potato

Do you suffer from under eye bags in the morning? So many of us do and I can bet you’ve tried a multitude of things to combat them. Make like the Spanish and lay cold, thin potato slices over your eyes for several minutes. This is perfect for reducing the swelling so you look like you’re well rested, even if you’re not. Thinly slice the potato, put the slices in a bowl of water and keep them in the refrigerator so they’re ready anytime you need them.

6. Take a Cold Dip

If you were a woman living in Germany, chances are you’d get a Kneipp treatment, which is basically just treading cold water for a set amount of time. The practice is supposed to amp up your circulation, which can leave your skin looking healthy and glowing. You can copy the technique by blasting your body with cold water in the shower. If you can stand it.

7. Bathe in Sake

Like the milk bath, you’ll just add a few cups of sake to your bath water. According to Japanese women, this can lighten discolored skin and help get rid of age spots. Drink a glass and soak in the rest and your entire body will thank you.

But after we cook the rice, there's plenty of water remaining! There is no way you wont have any water, the rice cant eoak all of it!!Nevertheless,Try adding excess water before you cook the rice

Paste up full cream powder milk and water. Use as a cleanser

Waste! Sorry!

You should wash the rice first and save the water from it.

What is sake?

Sake is Japanese liquor it helps to lighten dark spots because it contains kojic acid

To brighten up my skin, I take some yogurt and squeeze a few drops of lemon in it. Then put it on your face and wait it until sort of dries up/hardens? Scrub it off with your fingers (like you're exfoliating) and then wash your face. Viola! I was shocked after doing this. I apologize if the instructions aware hard to understand! :)

Exactly the point others have pointed out... What is this "you can use the water after it’s done cooking to clean your face"? There's no water left for you to wash your face with if you cook the rice. You're supposed to save the water from washing the rice BEFORE it's cooked.

Rice water is made by boiling rice in water and straining out leftover water. In the east this is used to beautify the face. We use a sieve to strain out leftover water and steam the rice. You can also take a tbsp of the water while cooking rice without the straining procedure.
