Rice water, a treasure for the skin

Used for centuries by Asians, rice water is full of exceptional properties for the body, skin and hair.

Used for centuries by Asians, rice water is full of exceptional properties for the body, skin and hair.

 Rice contains a lot of B vitamins, minerals, zinc, iron, magnesium and potassium, which go directly into the water while it is cooked. This is why rice water is full of virtues that wellness enthusiasts can no longer do without.

As effective inside as outside, rice water is a holistic beauty gesture par excellence. Highly concentrated in antioxidant gamma-oryzanol and regenerating inositol, it fights against oxidative stress and boosts cell renewal to preserve the youthfulness of the skin.

Rice water, a treasure for the skin

What are the benefits of rice water?

1. Rice water for glowing skin

Applied to the skin like a natural lotion, rice water hydrates and soothes the epidermis while fighting against skin aging. Rich in zinc, it regulates sebum and reduces skin imperfections. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and its starch content that helps soothe irritation, rice water calms redness and is very effective in the treatment of eczema. Also, the peptides present in rice water are powerful anti-aging agents. They promote collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

2. Rice water for shiny hair

Applied to the hair as a hair mask or conditioner, rice water strengthens brittle hair, closes the scales and intensifies shine. It shines the hair fiber and smoothes the hair, as if a silicone base had been used. L'Rice water acts as a natural conditioner: it penetrates deep into the hair cuticle to hydrate it from within and strengthen it, promoting healthy growth while reducing breakage. The anti-inflammatory properties of rice water calm the scalp, reducing irritation and itching.

3. Rice water as a toner for skin and hair

As we have seen, the beauty benefits of rice water are well established and we rightly envy the perfect skin of women in Asia. A very simple way to integrate rice water into your skincare routine is to use it as a tonic or in the form of a mist. It can be applied with a cotton pad to perfect makeup removal, remove remaining impurities and give the skin a boost. The most effective is to spray it directly on the face. The Care Mist, highly concentrated in fermented rice water, helps hydrate and revitalize the skin and hair throughout the day. It also helps boost the entire skincare routine by moistening the skin before applying serums. Its portable and practical format allows you to have a shot of rice water on demand!

Rebalance and energize

4. Drink rice water to boost the body

It is not for nothing that we recommend drinking rice water when you are sick. Thanks to its great nutritional richness, rice water detoxifies, hydrates and remineralizes the body. It rebalances the intestinal flora and therefore promotes a stronger immune system and healthier skin. To drink this elixir of youth, simply keep the rice cooking water in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. He It is ideal to start with a glass of rice water in the morning on an empty stomach, then consume the rest throughout the day.

5. Rice water to revitalize the body

Consumed as a drink, rice water effectively rehydrates the body and preserves the intestinal flora which plays an important role in our external beauty. The skin is considered the largest of our organs and reflects everything that happens inside our body. Thus, there is a direct link between skin problems and the intestines. Drinking rice water helps ensure a good balance of intestinal flora and thus preserves the beauty of the skin.

Additionally, rice water is an excellent source of energy. Rich in carbohydrates, it is recommended for times when you feel physically and mentally tired.
