Japanese women for generations have known rice bran ("nuka" in Japanese) as an essential skin care product to beautify their legendary soft, flawless complexions.
Pure rice bran moisturizing face wash is rich in vitamin E oil, numerous anti-aging antioxidants, and protects skin against UV. It is also a mild exfoliant and contains Vitamin B which can help improve blood circulation and stimulate cell turnover when used topically.
When used regularly, rice bran powder
- Moisturizes
- Prevents wrinkles
- Heals blemishes
- Absorbs dirt and oil from pores
- Guards skin against UV damage
- Balances skin's natural oils
Anti-aging
Rice bran contains high levels of numerous antioxidants (some research suggests up to 120 varieties) which impart many beneficial effects, including anti-aging. Rice bran contains a high percentage of Vitamin B and Vitamin E, in the form of Tocotrienol, an essential body nutrient.
Skin Healing
Rice bran contains Pectin, a superb moisturizing agent which provides for the growth of new skin cells, which is why it has become one of the premier components used in wound care products. Rice bran also contains high levels of cancer-fighting beta-glucan, a scientifically proven biological defense modifier (BDM) that nutritionally improves body's immune response.
UV Protection
Rice bran contains ferulic acid (Gamma-oryzanol,) which clinically has been found to help protect skin from UV damage. According to a book written by dermatologist and scientist Karen E. Burke, M.D., ferulic acid interferes with the process by which UV rays damage cell membranes, and therefore guards against redness and sunburn caused by exposure to sun's harmful rays.
How to Use
Recommended usage is twice per week. Normal skin regenerates its outer layer (epidermis) in two to four weeks, depending on age, after which your skin should look noticeably healthier, whiter and smoother.
