Description
The Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask is Beauty of Joseon’s weekly treatment for dull-looking skin. In a 150 ml jar, it combines an upcycled rice wine complex made from makgeolli with finely ground rice hull and honey. The brand designs it to gently exfoliate, purify pores and bring out a brighter, smoother, more hydrated look. It is fragrance-free and plant-based, and the brand notes that the alcohol from the makgeolli extract evaporates during manufacturing.
Key ingredients
- Rice wine complex (makgeolli) – upcycled rice extracts used to brighten and hydrate.
- Rice hull powder – provides gentle physical exfoliation; you may see visible grains.
- Honey – a soothing and hydrating ingredient.
- Kaolin clay – absorbs excess sebum and helps purify pores.
How to use
- Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eyes and lips.
- Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Rinse off with lukewarm water, using gentle circular motions to activate the rice grains.
- Use about once a week, or whenever skin needs a boost.
Who it suits
Beauty of Joseon says it suits all skin types, from dry to oily. Oily and combination skin benefit from the kaolin, while dry skin appreciates the honey. The brand reports it as non-irritating in a 24-hour patch test on 30 subjects.
Good to know
Avoid scrubbing hard or using it on irritated or broken skin, and do not combine it on the same night with strong exfoliating acids. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
