Who Should Avoid Rice Water in Skin Care: Korean skincare is currently trending worldwide, and people in India are also rapidly adopting it. Using rice water to achieve glass skin has become particularly popular. Many beauty experts on social media are touting rice water as a miracle cure for the skin.
Rice water is believed to brighten the complexion, lighten blemishes, and give a natural glow. But is rice water truly beneficial for all skin types? The truth is, every skin type is different, and what works for one person may harm another. Using rice water incorrectly or without understanding your skin type can lead to rashes, pimples, and allergic reactions.
Today, we will tell you which skin types may find rice water harmful and who should use it with caution. It will only benefit you if you use it carefully.
1. Oily and Acne-Prone Skin
Rice water can sometimes be detrimental to oily and acne-prone skin. The starch and minerals it contains can clog pores, trapping oil and dirt. This can lead to an increase in pimples, blackheads, and frequent breakouts, especially if the skin is already prone to acne.
2. Sensitive Skin
People with sensitive skin need to be extra cautious when using rice water. Such skin reacts easily, and rice water can cause irritation, itching, redness, or rashes. In many cases, it can also trigger allergies, further worsening the skin condition.
3. People with Skin Infections
If someone has a fungal infection, ringworm, itching, or any other type of skin infection, applying rice water can worsen the condition. The moisture and starch can cause the fungus to spread rapidly, increasing the risk of the infection worsening. 4. For people with dry skin
Rice water isn't always beneficial for very dry skin. Using it incorrectly or in excessive amounts can strip the skin of its natural moisture, leading to increased dryness, tightness, and flaking.
Also, keep these points in mind:
When using rice water, certain precautions are essential. Always use water made from fresh and clean rice, and perform a patch test on your hand or neck before applying it to your face. Do not use it more than two to three times a week. If you experience any burning, itching, or other adverse reactions after application, stop using it immediately and consult a dermatologist if necessary.
