To get healthy, glowing skin is the desire of many. You might have tried many expensive salon treatments to achieve that as well. Unfortunately, they don't work as well as you would think. And if they do, the glow doesn't last long.

But, what if we tell you that the secret to naturally glowing skin is in your kitchen? We're talking about rice flour. Rice is an ingredient of our daily meal and we love rice. Well, including rice in your skin care routine can add a natural glow to your face.

Rice flour has antioxidant properties that replenish the skin to give you nourished skin. It also helps to improve skin hydration and thus makes your skin soft and supple.[1] Moreover, it contains ferulic acid that protects the skin from the harmful sun rays and the skin ageing caused by overexposure to them.[2] More importantly, rice has been used since ancient times to lighten and brighten the skin and thus it helps to achieve the glowing skin that we all desire.
