Rice

Rice has long been an integral part of the Korean beauty legacy due to its brightening and anti-inflammatory benefits. This ingredient has been passed down through the generations, which makes it a staple ingredient for a lot of traditional Korean skincare products. Rice-infused skin care products or rice water is known to help smooth out rough skin texture and help improve skin firmness, as well as minimizing pores and delivering a brighter complexion. The calming and purifying quality of rice can effectively help with skin irritation caused by sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), an ingredient found in many topical care products. Studies have shown that using rice water twice a day helps skin that has been dried and damaged by SLS. Rice also contains anti-oxidants, which help fight the effects of free radicals and daily aggressors that are harmful to the skin. Therefore, rice-infused skin care products are known to be a goodie for anti-aging treatment.
