These are the beauty benefits of rice water

Facial cleanser

Clean your face with rice water to get soft and glowing skin. Pour a little bit of the water onto a cotton pad and use this to massage your face with. Repeat this a few times a week to give your skin a boost. It will also help to minimise your pores.

Acne

The calming effect of the water is one of the reasons why it works very well against acne. It reduces the redness and it will also cause you to get fewer pimples in the future.

Eczema

Rice water can soothe the irritation caused by eczema. Drench a clean washcloth in rice water and dab this onto the irritated skin for a few minutes. Let your skin dry.

Sunburnt skin

Rice water doesn’t just help to soothe eczema; you can also use it to soothe sunburn. The water will reduce the redness of the skin and provide coolness. If you want to cool it even more you can first put the water in the fridge and then apply it to a cotton pad and dab it onto the sunburnt skin.

Hair

As we said before, you can use rice water to strengthen your hair and make it healthier. Wash your hair like you would normally, using shampoo and conditioner. Then, pour a generous amount of rice water over your hair. Massage it into your scalp properly and then rinse it out with water.

Conditioner

You can actually also use rice water as a conditioner. Add a few drops of lavender oil to the rice water and then pour the water over your hair. Massage it in and let it sit for 10 minutes. Next, rinse it out with lukewarm water.
