Whitening your skin at home with activated charcoal made from rice not only makes your skin fairer and smoother but also safely detoxifies the skin at a very cost-effective price.

1. Ingredients for DIY activated charcoal whitening bath at home
- 50 grams of rice, any type will do, but we'll use jasmine rice in this guide.
- Jasmine rice is available at local markets and supermarkets.
- An old frying pan
- A blender or mortar and pestle
2. DIY Activated Charcoal Whitening Bath Recipe at Home
Step 1: Rinse the rice with water once to clean off any dirt and debris, then let it drain.
Step 2: Heat a frying pan on the stove, and when it's hot, add the rice to roast. Roast until the rice turns into black charcoal.
Step 3: Let the roasted rice charcoal cool for a while, then put it into a blender to grind into a fine powder. If you don't have a blender, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the charcoal as finely as possible.
Step 4: Take a clean, dry glass jar and put this charcoal powder in it for storage, seal the lid tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.

After roasting, jasmine rice turns into activated charcoal used for whitening baths at home.
3. How to Use the Whitening Bath Mixture at Home
- For the face: Mix 5 teaspoons of this activated charcoal powder with unsweetened yogurt or unsweetened fresh milk, then mix well. Apply the thick, creamy mixture evenly onto the face. Leave it on until it dries and tightens.

Activated charcoal mixture with unsweetened milk for whitening baths at home
- Apply this homemade whitening bath mixture on the skin and wait for 20 minutes, then rinse your face clean with cool water. Before applying the mask, make sure to remove makeup and cleanse your face with warm water to open up the pores for the mask to work effectively. Rinsing the face with cool water after applying the mask helps to tighten the pores.
- For the body: Use half a rice bowl of activated charcoal, so the amount of milk will also increase. Before whitening, you can also soak in warm water and exfoliate, then after whitening with activated charcoal, rinse again with warm water without needing to rinse with shower gel.
- Immediately after applying the mask, you will feel your skin becoming extremely soft, clean down to every pore, clear, gentle, and much brighter.
- Use the mixture 2 to 3 times a week, evenly spaced out, not every day.

After whitening baths at home with activated charcoal, you will have flawless, smooth, and radiant skin.
Note: Always apply sunscreen daily, whether it's sunny or rainy, and take extra precautions when going outdoors.
