Last updated on September 24, 2016

Did you know that rice has skin healing advantages? Well, lately the buzz about Korean skincare and Japanese techniques are out in the market which is why so many ladies are turning to rice. Different forms of rice can work magical for your skin. If you have been living under a rock and don’t know any of these benefits, here is your answer:

Rice has vitamin E, which can help in clearing the skin, brightening, reducing dark spots and much more. There are a few ways you can consume rice. You can mix it in with your day to day diet or apply it directly on the face for healthy clear skin.

1. Rice water – If you have asked your grandmother or mother some tips and tricks to achieve clear skin without any expensive cream, you must have heard about rice water. When you are boiling rice, the leftover water can be used to wash the face or just simply applied on a clean face. This will heal acne, cool redness, act as a brightening toner and will also help with any burns on the skin. This can be used for skin on the legs and hands as a tightening astringent post shaving. Make sure the water has cooled down before you use it. You can also drink rice water as it helps in cleaning the skin internally which will cause fewer breakouts, skin issues and pigmentation.

2. Rice starch – Do you suffer from eczema? If you do, rice starch is the answer. You can either use your white rice or go for basmati rice brown to help your eczema. Make sure you get all the starch content from the rice to use on the skin. Apply it on the affected areas and see the change in just two to three days. You will see reduction in redness and itching. This is also good for treatment of acne, wrinkles and rosacea.

3.  Dark spots and blemishes – Post a pimple pops or a boil breaks, we are often left with dark spots and blemishes. They are not easy to fight which is why you need some rice. You can use brown or white rice in your meals to have blemish free skin or make a paste of it and apply it to the skin for 10 minutes. White rice reduces the sebum production in the skin which helps keep oil away which means you will not face acne issues at all.

4. Delays aging – Since brown rice is packed with proteins, it will repair damaged skin issues quickly. Normal blood sugar levels means your stress is in control and the lesser stress you take, the fewer wrinkles you get. Everything is connected with one another in our body and we don’t realise how little things can affect our skin. Go for basmati brown rice for day to day meals.

5. Youthfulness – It makes your skin rejuvenated and youthful looking at all times. You can either consume rice or use it directly on the face through various methods.
