In this article we will reveal one of the secrets of how they do it. It lies in the way they use the amazing properties of rice for the health and beauty of the skin.
Why is rice so beneficial for the skin?
Rice contains a number of beneficial nutrients such as squalene and linoleic acid. These are powerful antioxidants that stimulate collagen production.
Collagen then prevents the formation and visibility of wrinkles.
When it comes to skin care and wrinkle removal, rice acts as a kind of small natural miracle.

This mask smooths your wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin. Without exaggeration, it can be said that after it you will soon look up to 10 years younger.
What causes skin aging and wrinkle formation?
Experts state that there are many things that accelerate the aging process and increase the formation and visibility of wrinkles.
The main factors are the following:
- sun exposure
- use of chemical cosmetic products
- poor and unhealthy diet
- hormonal changes
- polluted air
- many other factors
These are the main causes why the skin loses its elasticity. Our recommendation is therefore that you try to avoid these influences as much as possible.
One of the first steps is replacing conventional commercial cosmetics with natural ones.
