SKIN AND HAIRCARE BENEFITS OF RICE WATER:

Skincare benefits

Here are some of the benefits rice water can bring for your skin

Skin brightening: Rice water contains ski-brightening enzymes, which are known to fade dark spots and blemishes and to brighten the skin. It also brings a clear and smooth texture.

Soothes irritation: Eczema and dermatitis sufferers have discovered that using rice water on the affected regions has significantly improved their skin’s condition and reduced irritation. Rice water applied to the affected areas can significantly reduce inflammation. Anti-ageing: Rice water is rich in antioxidants that help in promoting collagen synthesis, thus helping in preventing premature ageing. It’s especially beneficial for those with oily skin types.

Eases sunburn: Rice water can help to soothe inflamed areas due to sunburn as well as minimise the redness in the region.

Reduces oiliness: Rice water has an astringent action that closes pores and prevents oil from building up, so it’s a good choice for oily skin. Those with oily skin can rinse their skin using rice water.

Haircare benefits

Here’s how making rice water a part of your hair-care routine can help.

Brings shine: Use rice water as a last rinse after you’ve finished shampooing and conditioning your hair. After 15 minutes, wash it off with cold water and admire your hair as it shines brighter than before.

Makes for a natural conditioner: After cleansing, use a mixture of essential oils and rice water to organically condition hair and smooth the lengths.

Prevents hair damage: Rinsing your hair with rice water can help to seal the hair cuticle, preventing damage from UV radiation and other environmental stressors.
