Try washing your hair with ‘this water’ that you mindlessly throw away… It makes your hair shiny.

 

Most people naturally discard the rice water when washing rice. However, rice water is surprisingly good for hair and skin care. Let's find out why and how to use it.

 

◇ Rich in protein and vitamin C, good for hair… Frequent use risks damage

 

Rice water is full of protein, amino acids, inositol, vitamins B, C, and E, minerals, and antioxidants.

 

Accordingly, it nourishes the scalp and makes hair softer and shinier. Vitamin C is essential for hair health as it functions to protect and maintain the health of cells in the body. In particular, the starch in rice protects hair follicles, eliminating frizz and preventing damage to promote hair growth.

After rinsing your shampoo completely, pour rice water over your hair and massage your scalp for about 10 minutes. Promote blood circulation with the massage, then rinse with cold water. If you wash your hair every day, use this once a week; if not, use it every other week. This is because using rice water too frequently or leaving it on your hair for a long time can cause irritation and damage due to an excess of protein.

 

 

◇ Removes dead skin cells and impurities… Check the color of the rice water before washing your face

 

Rice water makes the skin clear and radiant. Washing your face with rice water allows the various nutrients from the rice to reach the skin, removing old dead skin cells and impurities. Rice and rice bran are rich in essential amino acids, lipids, and minerals. Therefore, it is effective in brightening dull skin and preventing skin troubles.

 

However, when washing your face with rice water, you must use water from rinsing the rice two or three times. The water from the first rinse may contain pesticides, dust, or other impurities. Additionally, if the rinse water turns blue or black, it may indicate that mold has grown on the rice. In this case, you must discard not only the water but also the rice itself. Mold on rice affects the stomach, kidneys, and even reproductive functions. Since there is a high probability that surrounding rice has also developed mold, it should be discarded immediately. Mycotoxins are resistant to heat and cannot be removed by washing thoroughly or heating.
