Why Rice Is a Skincare Wonder?
1. Brightening
Rice water is rich in ferulic acid and antioxidants that help even out skin tone, reduce hyperpigmentation and reduce dark spots.
2.
It locks in moisture, improving elasticity and giving your skin a supple glow.
3. Anti-inflammatory
Great for sensitive or acne-prone skin, rice water soothes redness and skin irritation.

Rice contains compounds that help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
5. Exfoliation
Rice flour scrubs gently remove dead skin cells, improving texture and tone.
