Rice Water for Soft, Glowing Skin!

Did you know that rice water has so many benefits?

I never imagined that it did, but one day I was making my rice at home and the steam it produced on the stove caught my senses. It smelled so clean and fresh.

I do not like to use any toners, so I wanted to create my own.

While the rice was on full heat, boiling in the water, I drained almost all of it leaving 10% behind in a cup.

I cooled the cup in the fridge and after 20 mins I took it out.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1. Chilled rice water

2. Tissue

3. Cotton Ball

I dipped my tissue in the water and put holes on the tissue (eyes, nose, mouth area to breath)

Then I left it on my face for 2-3 mins

I took the tissue off, and applied rice water with a cotton ball over my face (avoid eyes)

Rice water cleans your face, gives your face a glow and makes pores on your face tight as well.

Since rice has carbohydrates, the water can be so healthy for your skin. Leaving your skin soft and your complexion brighter. 

Once you patted the rice water all over your face, leave it on for about 20 mins, you can even leave it on the half of the day and wash your face with water. 

You will see a difference after 1 week of this trail; hope you love it and it helps your skin! :) 

ROSEMARY OIL HAIR TREATMENT for flaky scalp and thinning hair/ hair loss

You will need: Rosemary leaves and water. First boil the water, just one whole glass is okay. Once the water is boiling, add the rosemary leaves inside your pot. Make sure you have a good amount of rosemary leaves, not the whole packet, but a handful is fine. Let is boil until the water is all yellow and concentrated with the rosemary. It will also have a distinct rosemary aroma to it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Second, have a empty spray bottle ready, and add virgin coconut oil inside the spray bottle, after you add the oil, make sure to add the rosemary leaf water and mix both products well in the bottle. Shake, shake, shake!!! After that is done, make sure your hair is clean, and ready to spray it on your scalp, over your head and through your strands, you can comb through it while you add the spray, and also massage your scalp thoroughly. LEAVE IN FOR A WHOLE DAY, the next day you can take a bath or shower, and clean out your hair with light shampoo (not recommended  I just wash it with water personally, but if you want to use shampoo, that is also fine, I just wash with water because I want the oil to make my hair fresh and strong. Shampoo will clean the oil out, but the chemicals will come in your scalp again and the moisture wont stay for long. I prefer to just wash it with water the next day so my hair can absorb the moisture by the rosemary/coconut oil treatment. THIS IS FOR FLAKY SCALP AND HAIR LOSS!!! Hope it works well for you!!! :)

BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA!!!

You want to learn more about the benefits of Green tea? 

I think you should!

IT is very beneficial!

1. Green tea is full of anti oxidants

What are anti oxidants?

• "All teas from the camellia tea plant are rich in polyphenols, which are a type of antioxidant. These wonder nutrients scavenge for cell-damaging free radicals in the body and detoxify them" (John Weisburger, PhD, senior researcher at the Institute for Cancer Prevention.)

2. Green Tea is very concentrated!

• Green Tea is very concentrated because the leaves are withered and steamed in its process. The leaves are not fermented like oolong or black teas. When you even make it, you boil the water and the leaves, the water is very concentrated, and the more concentrated it is, the healthier!

3. Green Tea  is a excellent source of WEIGHT LOSS!

• "Studies have also shown green tea extracts are capable of reducing fat digestion by inhibiting digestive enzymes. Others have shown thermogenic properties of green tea (probably brought on by the interaction between its caffeine content). Thermogenesis is the process of the body burning fuel (fat) without making chemical energy (the calories are released as heat) www.freedieting.com
