Rice Flour, Coffee and Milk Mask for a Tired Face
Rice flour, a pinch of instant coffee and cool milk into a loose mask for ten to fifteen minutes. A light refresh; gentle on the rinse and not more than twice a week.
A tan-time refresher, used lightly
A dermatologist's summer pack of rice flour, coffee, milk and rose water went viral in 2026. The rice flour is a mild scrub, the coffee refreshes and the milk and rose water soothe. It may make skin look fresher for a day, but it does not remove tan or treat pigmentation.
Mix to a loose paste, apply a thin layer and rinse gently with cool water, without rubbing hard. Use it at most twice a week. Patch test first. Skip lemon in the mix on sensitive skin, and skip the whole mask on broken, sunburnt or very sensitive skin.

Frequently asked questions
