Rice water and its benefits
Rice water can be used on all skin types such as dry, oily, and normal skin. The rice powder can be used as body scrub thereby removing dead skin cells. For the skin, rice water is said to be an inexpensive, effective beauty balm for cleansing, toning and lightening hyperpigmentation,sunburn and age spots.
How to make rice water at home
- ½cup of uncooked rice
- 2 cups water
Method 1: no-boil (quick method)
- Rinse your rice with water to make sure there’s no dirt or impurities, place your rice in a bowl and pour in your water and cover for 24 hours. Strain your water from the rice and your rice water is ready.
Method 2: boiled rice
- To make a concentrated rice water to use as a facial wash or hair rinse, prepare rice as you normally would, after it has gotten to a boiling point, strain the water it will look so white. That is your rice water and it has high concentration of nutrients BENEFITS OF RICE WATER
- Skin toner: rice water is an excellent skin toner, it helps in keeping the skin smooth and glowing. It will even your skin tone.
- Brightens your skin: rice water is far more beneficial to the skin than those artificial product that claims to lightening and brightening the skin. Use rice water as your regular face wash to get that glow on your face. It will gradually improve your skin tone. Damp a cotton ball in rice water and apply it on your face let it air dry.
- Soothe sunburn: rice water is also used in cooling inflammations and burnt skin. It will help your skin recover fast and prevent further damage.
- Deals with eczema: the starch components help in dealing with eczema. Boil your rice, take it down from the heat let it cool and strain the water and apply on the eczema. Frequently use will eliminate eczema.
