In general, Spanish women are significantly aware of the importance of skin care, and evidence of this can be existed in the increasing emphasis placed on facial and body care routines.
But if there’s one culture and country that keeps on beating us when it comes to skincare, it’s Japan. For years, Japanese women have caught the eye more than anyone for their rigorous skincare, employing all kinds of ancient beauty tricks that they still use today to achieve a smooth, youthful complexion.
Preparing the Rejuvenating Japanese Facial Mask
Get ready half a cup of organic brown rice (free of pesticides or chemicals), cook it and when it’s done, drain it but don’t throw away the water.
Take the rice and add the avocado and honey to a bowl. Using a spoon, stir the combination well until you have a smooth, even paste.
Once you have that homogeneous mixture, it’s time to rub the mask to your skin, where you can leave it on for 15 or 20 minutes.
Then, take a cotton ball and wipe your face with the rice water you previously separated.
What benefits does rice offer in facial masks?
Japanese women have considered rice a crucial ingredient in their beauty arsenals for many years. While it helps treat eczema, heal lesions, and brighten dark spots, it’s also suggested for sensitive skin thanks to its high lipid content.
Rice as an exfoliant is also perfect for removing d3ad cells and all types of impurities from the skin, while also controlling the skin’s pH, reducing excess oil production, acne, and other common skin problems.
In addition to all this, rice is extremely rich in linoleic acid and squalene, powerful antioxidants that encourage collagen production, which greatly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging of the skin in general.
