For a DIY rice bran beauty regime, you'll need:

2 tbsp. rice bran

1 tbsp. cold milk (any % is fine. I use 1% or 2% because that's what I drink :)

2 tsp. green tea (very very concentrated. Use lots of tea leaves and little water. Try to get loose leaves or tea bags that have nothing else except green tea. You don't want any flavorings because that's not good for your skin.)

1 tsp. orange juice

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil (or rice bran oil, or another type of carrier oil if you dislike olive oil).

Mix everything together in a small bowl.Wash your face first with your regular cleanser so that it's nice and clean. Smooth mixture over your face, neck, and collar bone. It will feel cool and refreshing. Leave on your face until the mask is dry.

And enjoy the luxury it has left on your face!
