Note When using rice water
The reason why cosmetic manufacturers prefer to use this type of water is that it is very rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. In fact, rice water has many benefits for the skin. However, there are currently very few in-depth studies on the effects of rice water.
When using, you should note:
– Although it helps to brighten and deeply cleanse the skin from within, limiting acne, you should only do it a maximum of 3 times/week. This ensures better safety for the skin.
– Although some substances in rice water help to protect against the sun, you should not leave your face exposed to the hot sun outdoors.
– You should only store rice water in the refrigerator for a maximum of one week (if made into ice cubes, it can be kept longer). If left for a long time, rice water can become moldy and contaminated.
– Rice can be contaminated with pesticides during the cultivation process or with chemicals during storage. Therefore, you should not use rice water as the first choice for your face.
– If you have allergic reactions to rice water such as dry patches, peeling, or itching, you should immediately stop using rice water.
Rice contains antioxidants, such as inositol. Antioxidants help to counteract the effects of free radicals, which are volatile molecules that can be harmful to cells in the body. Companies often add antioxidants to skincare products.
