Renewable Japanese Face Mask

Have you ever wondered if you can renew your face? Of course, there are no miracle cures, but we can make the face fresher by making the skin firmer and more elastic. An effective and simple home remedy is to take advantage of an economical “Japanese” face mask. Want to know what it is?

Benefits of rice for facial renewal

We all know how much we spend regularly on cosmetics, creams and treatments. Too much, no doubt. The interesting thing is that all industries dedicated to the world of beauty use natural ingredients that are available to everyone. But of course, these ingredients are synthesized in such large quantities in creams sold in stores; usually we try only a few creams during life, depending on age and needs.

In our health blog we often mention the wonderful properties of avocado, grapes and aloe vera, but today we want to mention one ingredient that is so basic that you have most likely never considered it: rice. A remedy of Japanese origin? Yes, that’s right. It is a very traditional remedy for feminine beauty in the Eastern world. Let us explain the properties :

• Rice is a good toner for the skin. It contains an ingredient called inositol which is wonderful in delaying the aging process; blood circulation is improved and provides effective value for the overall skin health.
• Rich in vitamin B. You already know about the many benefits Vitamin B has for our skin, our hair, our nails; Vitamin B stimulates skin regeneration, contributes to softer skin and strengthens the skin against external elements.

• Moisturizes, regenerates and tightens the skin. This comes mainly from the rice water, and is a very traditional beauty remedy for Japanese women.
• Anti-wrinkle effect. As we have already pointed out, the secret lies in the ingredient inositol. This can counteract wrinkles and stimulate the circulation in the skin, which always gives a fresh glow.
• An effective exfoliation. This is surprising, but among the rice’s content we also find phytic acid. And what is it good for? It removes dead skin cells and helps to renew the face little by little.
• Removes blemishes after acne. Again, it is the rice water that is the part of the treatment that cleanses the skin of elements from the outside. It cleanses, tones and reduces blemishes in the skin that are mainly caused by acne. It is best to do this treatment at least two days a week.

Renewable “Japanese” face mask

Now you know that our face mask of Japanese origin has rice as its main element. Rich in vitamins and rejuvenating properties, it is worth the effort to apply this face mask at least twice a week. If you wish, you can supplement this mask with your regular creams, as this is an easy way to achieve extra skin care in a very economical way. And rest assured: it gives good results.

1. What do I need to make a “Japanese” face mask?

This rejuvenating face mask requires the following ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons organic brown rice. You can find this in specialty stores or in health food stores; Make sure the rice is organic and free of pesticides or chemicals so that you get all the natural properties of the rice.
• 1 1/2 tablespoons distilled water.
• 2 tablespoons avocado.
• 1/2 teaspoon honey.

2. How do I make my innovative face mask?

• It’s very simple. What we do first is boil the rice. As you can see, you use little rice, but we want to make sure that the mask is freshly made every time since that is how we take advantage of the benefits. Heat the rice until it is soft, then pour off the water. Take care of both rice and water.

• Then we squeeze the rice and put it in a container together with the avocado and honey. Use a spoon to mix everything into a homogeneous mass. Then apply the mass on the skin.
• Leave the mask on the face for 15-20 minutes. Then use cotton pads to remove it and wash your face with rice water that you have previously taken care of. In this way you get both exfoliation and treatment of the small blemishes and impurities.
• As you can see, the “Japanese” face mask is very thorough, simple and affordable. It gives us both the properties of the rice itself and the rice water. If you make this mask twice a week, you can renew your face every day. Try it!
