Today, let’s look at rice bran oil benefits for skin and hair:
Being a big fan of natural skin care products, I cant help but mention wonderful benefits of rice bran oil, which is not only great for cooking and beneficial for our overall health, but it also can be efficiently used for skin careand hair care.
Rice bran oil is a well kept beauty secret of many Asian and, especially, Japanese ladies. This oil is rich in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. In Asian countrieswomen use rice bran oil not only for dressing up their salads, but also, they apply it directly on the skin and hair.
Rice bran oil is a natural antioxidant
Nowadays, almost all anti aging skin care products and facial creams are labeled with the word “antioxidants”, which are actually substances and vitamins that can fight free radicals, thus, preventing aging process; but the only difference, that the antioxidants in creams are packed with chemicals and preservatives, which aren’t very beneficial for the beauty of our skin. (This is one of the main reasons why I completely stopped using facial creams and started my journey of investigating natural skin care products.) Rice bran oil, on the other hand, is completely free from all unnecessary (harmful) ingredients and it can provide us only with benefits.
