Benefits of rice water for skin and hair

August 13,2021
Share:

Rice is more than an inexpensive, versatile, and nutritious food. You can use rice water for skin and hair benefits, as well. Rice water is starchy water left over after you soak or cook rice, so it’s easy to find and make.

This liquid can improve different skin conditions, repair your hair, and so much more. Rice water for skin and hair is a beneficial home remedy that contains many vitamins and minerals.

Adding rice water to your skin and hair care regime will naturally enhance your skin and hair, free of all chemicals. As you learn about the benefits of rice water for skin and hair, it will help you understand how it can help you.

Here are eight of the surprising benefits of rice water for the face, skincare, and healthy hair.

1. Rice water can lighten your skin

If you have age spots of dark patches of skin caused by pregnancy, hormonal changes, or sun damage, rice water can help. When you use the liquid as a skin rinse, the dark spots fade, and your skin texture evens out. You can use rice water for a face-lightening effect.

When your skin is healthy, it’ll glow in a way that it wouldn’t otherwise. Using rice water can help naturally brighten your complexion as it has essential enzymes that remove dead skin cells.

2. Helps to treat dry skin

Dry skin is uncomfortable, and it might make you self-conscious as it causes flaky skin. If your skin has damage from sodium laurel sulfate, an ingredient found in many skin and hair care products. Rice water can help. The water eases dry and damaged skin by providing essential nutrients and vitamins.

Rice water gets rid of dead skin cells and promotes cell growth. This process will make your skin smooth and free of dryness. It also helps balance pH levels, making your skin healthy again.

3. It helps with eczema, acne, rashes, and inflammation

Since rice water helps your skin maintain healthy pH levels, it can help with uncomfortable skin conditions. Research shows that the outermost layer of your skin protects it from microbes, but your natural barrier must maintain specialized lipid cells. If those cells are compromised, you can develop dermatitis, rosacea, and other skin conditions and rashes.

Additionally, rice water can help ease the discomfort of eczema as it clears up outbreaks. It can also help clear up acne and pimples. Using this liquid on affected areas twice a day can clear it up quickly and prevent it from coming back.

Using this natural treatment results in healthier skin with decreased irritation and inflammation because the starches help repair damage. The healthy starches also help strengthen your skin barrier, preventing further issues.

4. Protects your skin from sun damage

Studies show that rice water can protect the skin from UV rays. When used with plant extracts, it can be used as sunscreen, allowing you to skip the harsh chemicals in other products.

Rice water can provide a cooling sensation to your skin after sunburn. It also promotes healing when your skin has been damaged by the sun, decreasing your chance of developing wrinkles and dark sports. This water offers relief to red, inflamed, or itching skin caused by sun damage.

5. It has anti-ageing benefits

Everyone has to deal with the ageing process, but you can slow the process by using rice water for the skin. Using this water each day can help you look younger and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Your skin contains elastin that makes it soft and supple, giving it a youthful appearance. As you get older, the elastin becomes less effective, leaving you with wrinkles and sagging skin. Rice water can help with this, as it contains antioxidants that fight the skin and elastin damaging free radicals.

Rice water also increases the collagen in your skin, reducing and preventing wrinkles. It also contains other vitamins and nutrients that slow the ageing process, including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, allantoin Vitamin E, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, ferulic acid.

6. It reduces skin oiliness

Oily skin can cause just as many issues as dry skin, so it is essential to take care of it. Too much oil can clog your pores, causing painful pimples and acne breakouts.

If you use rice water on your skin, the healthy starches in the water will help tighten your pores and eliminate excess oil. It also decreases the shine on your face that too much oil causes.

7. It helps with damaged hair

Your hair builds up toxins, causing it to look flat and dull. Using rice water for hair provides many powerful antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that return your hair to its original, healthy state. It detoxes your hair and removes damaging chemicals and toxins.

Rice water also increases the elasticity of your hair. With more elasticity, your hair is less likely to break off, get damaged, or split. This benefit helps everyone and is a must for people that use styling tools that pull, curl, twist, or crimp your hair.

Additionally, if you have split ends or frizzy hair due to damage and dryness, rice water helps with that, too. It softens your hair and reduces friction on the surface of each strand.

8. It helps treat dandruff

Dandruff is uncomfortable and can result in itching, burning, and flaking. Plus, it can also be embarrassing. As you constantly scratch your head and shed dandruff flakes, the problem becomes apparent to everyone.

A lack of oils in your scalp typically causes dandruff, and it is worse if you have dry hair, too. It can cause scalp inflammation, too, making it even more uncomfortable and painful. Rice water can help ease the problem and return your skin to a healthy state since it has irritation-reducing properties.
