There are multiple ingredients right in our homes

that can do wonders for all our skincare troubles.
Turns out, even the water you’re soaking or
cooking your rice in shouldn’t be thrown away,
since it can be used to improve your skin. Rice
water is essentially the leftover water after you
cook or soak rice. This seemingly mundane
residual water may appear to be nothing out of the
ordinary, but it is, in fact, regarded in Japanese
culture as a potent ingredient for skincare.

Rice water-based face packs can be a great tool

for nourishing your skin. Rice water is beneficial in
dealing with issues related to skin pores, as this
concoction is a natural astringent that can help
open or close skin pores, and cleanse them as
well.

Face packs prepared with rice water can help your

skin get a radiant glow, smoothen and become
supple. To prepare it, soak 3 tablespoons of rice in
¼ glass of water for 2 hours, and then strain it.

So, with our base ingredient chilling in the fridge,

we bring to you three rice water-based face packs
that you can make from the comfort of your home
that will give your skin the much-needed
nourishment that it deserves:

Our skin is the largest and most prominent part

of the human body. The skin is a protective
fence between the external environment and the
internal organs of the body. When it comes to
skin care, Ayurveda is the most effective and
useful solution. Ayu (life) and veda (knowledge)
sums up as the knowledge of life, including
remedies for minor disorders to serious
diseases. These Ayurvedic remedies hardly
have any side effects and are purely natural.

Ayurveda is a splendid way to keep the skin

clear, bright and glowing, making it look healthy.
There are several factors that wreak havoc on
our skin, these include poor lifestyle choices,
stress, unhealthy diet, faulty sleep patterns,
excessive sun exposure, smoking, pollution,
alcoholism, lack of exercise and weather
changes.

Whereas washing or cleansing your skin daily,

avoiding direct sun rays, maintaining a healthy
diet, getting enough sleep, exercising, drinking
enough water, reducing stress, staying away
from intoxicants, protection from pollution and
dust, consuming healthy supplements, avoiding
chemicals and treating skin with natural
remedies contribute to healthy skin.

Additionally, chemical based products that are

used as skin care are harmful to the skin, and
can cause long term issues. Ayurvedic skin care
and remedies use natural treatments and reach
the root to exterminate the problem.

lavender oil enhance the skin, and are
