Why rice water?

Rice water, a by-product of cooking rice, is rich in antioxidants, vitamins B1, B2, E and minerals that strengthen the skin barrier, accelerate healing and optically reduce the appearance of pores. Natural starch slightly tightens the skin, providing a “lifting” effect without injections. In addition, rice water has anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, which is confirmed by research that has shown that it has the same biological antioxidant activity as vitamin C and reduces the activity of the elastase enzyme, which is associated with skin aging. The main ingredient – homemade toner for “glass skin”.

The power of fenugreek

Fenugreek, also known as methi, contains diosgenin, a natural phytoestrogen that promotes cell renewal and improves microcirculation. Ayurvedic approaches use it to treat acne, redness, dryness, and eczema. Fenugreek has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which help reduce redness and prevent breakouts.
