Rice is a familiar food that every Vietnamese family has. Rice is not only the most basic staple food, but also an effective beauty ingredient. Rice contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants. Momilactones A and B (MA and MB) compounds and tricin in rice grains are effective anti-aging compounds that help prevent wrinkles. Rice that has not been polished contains a higher amount of vitamin B1.
Nowadays, rice bran is considered a popular face mask that is widely sold in beauty salons. Instead of buying it, you can grind rice into powder at home. It is recommended to buy rice that has not been polished to make use of the nutrients in rice bran.
Rice powder is a beauty method that helps reduce dark spots, whiten the skin, remove excess oil, and exfoliate dead skin.
