The Use Of Rice To Have A Pretty Skin

Although there are chemical exfoliators that can help us remove dead cells, when we make them with natural ingredients we get d advantage of benefits and we expose to less harmful components.

Exfoliating the skin regularly is essential to keep it beautiful, radiant, free from dead cells, and without the possibility of developing blemishes. Rice can help us do this.

While industrial scrubs are effective, the best option is to prepare them at home.

Sometimes women get carried away by packaging that says “100% natural” without thinking that the product may contain strong chemicals that can affect the health of the skin instead of taking care of it.

For this reason, we recommend that you take advantage of the benefits offered by the elements that we have at home, such as rice, the benefits of which allow us to enjoy smooth skin free of impurities without having to apply unknown substances.

Rice properties

Its main benefit is to remove dead skin that collects in the pores, allowing the body’s natural oils to hydrate and bring the dermis to life.

Rice is rich in B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, calcium and potassium. Our skin will absorb these substances from the first application of the exfoliant.

Exfoliate the skin with rice water

Ingredients

• Leftover rice
• 1/4 cup rice water (62 mL)
• 4 drops of lavender essential oil
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (15 g)

Preparation

• Place the rice water in a jar with the essential oil and coconut oil. Beat for a few minutes and add the remaining rice so that the mixture becomes creamy.
• Then place the mixture in a glass jar and put it in the fridge.
• If the mixture is stored in the refrigerator, it can last up to two weeks without being damaged.

How to use

• Use both hands to pick up a sufficient amount to apply it all over the face and form a mask. You can apply it to other parts of the body that you want to exfoliate.
• Let it dry for at least ten minutes, and start massaging your skin so that the exfoliator can get rid of dead cells.
• When it hardens, rinse with preferably hot water so that the pores open and do not fill with cream.

You shouldn’t use this scrub more than three times a week, like any other cream with this feature. If a counterproductive effect is observed, stop using it and consult a doctor.

Bring softness

Rice can balance the production of natural oils, which allows the skin to hydrate on its own and stay supple for longer.

Combined with coconut oil, your skin will be radiant.

Containing no chemicals, rice will not produce eczema on the skin. On the other hand, it also strengthens the pores, becoming an ideal tool in the fight against mild acne.

If these masks are applied three times a week as recommended, you will be able to cleanse your skin thoroughly and thus eradicate pimples and blackheads.
