This is a terribly hard time for almost everyone–the television news and social media constantly bombards us with facts and statistics of people struggling to make ends meet, struggling with their mental health and just struggling in general. While there are many things you can’t control, focus on things you can–make efforts to look after yourself, make self-care a priority and check up on your loved ones regularly to make sure they’re doing well.
One thing that really works for me in terms of self-care is having a great skin and haircare routine. I love massaging my face, giving myself champi every now and then, and using luxurious products to make myself feel a little more pampered and relaxed.
One ingredient that I’ve been totally loving for my skin and hair is rice. It contains antioxidants, Vitamin E, and ferulic acid that help tone, tighten, and brighten your complexion. It has also been known to help with skin irritation, dermatitis, and other skin inflammations. It even helps lighten scars, fade blemishes, and pigmented patches thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants. Isn’t that impressive? But wait, there’s more. It balances the scalp’s pH levels and helps keep your hair frizz-free and detangled. This can prove to be very helpful, especially during the monsoon.
