Back to Basics: Rice Water

Food is often the first thing that comes to mind when rice is discussed. However, rice also has many benefits for the skin when applied topically.

Rice water is made from the excess water that comes from soaking and cooking rice. This simple, everyday ingredient is perfect for any skin type and skin concern.

Dry

Moisturizing, rice water is often used in different products as a skin-softening agent. In addition to its moisturizing properties, rice water is also a great hydrating ingredient.

Oily

Rice water has an astringent effect that aids in pore tightening and toning. Using rice water may mattify and prevent excess oil production during the day. 

Sensitive

Great for your skin barrier, rice water protects skin against external aggressors and everyday pollutants. Additionally, rice water has soothing properties and helps reduce inflammation that may occur from sun damage.

Acne

The anti-inflammatory properties of rice water is also perfect for irritated skin from acne. On top of that, skin brightening enzymes and vitamins like B and E are present. Using rice water may help fade dark spots from acne and brighten your skin overall.

Aging

Rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals, rice water is known to inhibit elastase, an enzyme that degenerates elastic fibers. Using race water may help maintain skin elasticity and reduce the signs of skin aging.
