Benefits of rice for skin

The benefits of rice for the skin are in the whole complex of amazing properties of this plant. And although rice is better known as a cereal used in cooking for preparing all kinds of dishes, our ancestors knew about its healing properties since time immemorial. At first, it was grown in Asia, which is considered the birthplace of this plant. In the 19th century, it spread across Russia, and in the 20th century, this crop began to be imported in large quantities and even began to be cultivated in many regions of the former USSR.

In general, rice as a cereal crop has 18 varieties, and its main advantage is its unpretentiousness and unique ability to adapt to any kind of climatic conditions, including floods and even frosts. It should be noted that when processed, rice loses some of its beneficial properties, while acquiring a new taste. For this reason, brown (unprocessed) rice is especially valued, because it retains the maximum amount of beneficial substances.

Rice is a real storehouse of vitamins! It contains B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9) and other vitamins (E, H, PP). In addition, the grain contains a whole host of minerals (iron, iodine, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, copper, etc.). Therefore, the benefits of rice for the skin are obvious, primarily due to the successful combination of essential nutrients. Thus, B vitamins help improve the condition of the skin, as well as nails and hair. An important fact is that, unlike other cereals, rice does not contain gluten - a protein that can cause an allergic reaction. In addition, rice has an amazing property of removing harmful toxins from the body (including the skin). The amino acids contained in rice are involved in the construction of new cells, fats regulate collagen synthesis, aminobenzoic acid serves to whiten the skin, and vitamin C and gamma-oryzanol are powerful antioxidants.

According to many medical experts, dry rice can be used to treat various skin diseases. For example, in India, this grain is used to make an effective ointment and powder to "cool" inflamed skin.

A rice face mask used in folk cosmetics gently cleanses and moisturizes the skin, eliminates irritation and inflammation, removes pigmentation and whitens the skin of the face well. Many women use various rice masks to get rid of wrinkles and smooth the skin, the effect of which is truly amazing!
