The Body Care Rice Bran Scrub Review

   Hi friends, today I am going to do a review on rice bran scrub from “The Body Care’. I was surfing the net one fine morning and bought few skin care products from the website www.goodlife.com suddenly a scrub caught my attention and I bought it.

     What the product claims: -

   The Body Care Rice Bran Scrub contains organic stones and Vitamin B containing in rice bran and oryza extract which softens and smoothens skin by massaging the invigorating exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and help boost your body’s circulation. The natural fragrance from rice brings the aroma benefits of relaxation and leaves you to feel like walking through a field of aromatic rice during the harvesting season.

     Key Ingredients: Rice Powder, Rice Bran, Almond Oil, Olive Oil

   Rice Powder or flour is a widely known ingredient to treat blemishes, wrinkles and pigmentation. This ingredient has been used as an anti ageing skin ingredient in India for centuries. In Japan women use rice powder in their beauty routine and despite their heavy makeup their skins remain porcelain smooth


   Exfoliating Properties: Rice powder has exfoliating properties so it helps to keep the skin look brighter, apart from that it has a chemical structure similar to ceramide and ceramide increases collagen production to make skin suppler.  A lot of girls want fairer skin and rice burn can help them to achieve the desired result effects without burning hole in their pockets.

    Rice Bran:


   Rice Bran is the nutritious outer layer of the brown rice kernel that is removed to produce white rice. It contains proteins, vitamins, minerals, and over 70 anti-oxidants to gently exfoliate and moisturize. It washes away oil and dirt from the skin, delays the process of ageing by preventing wrinkles and clears blemishes, maintaining healthy, smooth, soft skin.  Rice bran powder is used as an exfoliant to scrub the skin; it leaves the skin smooth, reducing pores, and gives a healthy glow to the skin.


       Almond Oil

      
    A good source of Vitamin E, Manganese & Iron Almond oil acts as a natural skin tonic protecting from free radicals, ageing & blemishes. It’s like a natural skin tonic. Vitamin E protects healthy cells from destruction by an overabundance of molecules known as free radicals. Manganese is a versatile trace mineral used as skin supplement for premature aging, irritations & blemishes.

 What are the benefits of having almond oil in your skin care products?

   Almond Oil Pampers the Skin.

   Almond oil is an excellent emollient and moisturizer.  As an emollient it nourishes and softens the skin helping to keep it smooth to the touch. Almond oil is frequently used to treat dry skin.  As a dry skin treatment, almond oil relieves itchiness, soreness, rashes, dryness, irritation and burns. Almond oil aides the skin in keeping the proper balance of moisture in the skin which is critical when treating dry skin.  It is often mixed with an exfoliant for body scrubs as well as mixed with moisturizers to provide benefits the moisturizer may not have.  Almond oil can also be used on the delicate skin under the eye to prevent "crow's feet.

      Olive Oil

        

        Olive oil has been considered as beauty oil. For the skin olive softens and moisturizes. Olive oil may be used to cleanse and heal wounds. Applied to burned skin and is effective in keeping the skin supple and moisturized. The vitamin E in olive oil makes it a great overall skin care product. Some research has indicated that applying olive oil on the skin after being in the sun may help reduce the damage caused by sun exposure.

   What I like about the Body Care Rice Bran Scrub

   It is extremely mild. The scrub particles are not really visible at all. This is one of the reasons that I didn’t use it as a body scrub. For me it was way too mild to be used as body scrub. But this is a personal choice. Girls, who like a mild scrub or with a sensitive skin, will be absolutely satisfied with this.

  The ingredients are exotic like rice bran powder, rice bran, olive, almond, in fact availability of rice bran scrub in the local shops is rare, and I tried buying one but couldn’t find out.

     The light fragrance is lovely. I totally love it.  It makes me feel as if I am in a beauty salon.

The consistency is thick creamy, and the colour is white.

    After washing the face, the skin feels nourished and soft. The stretchy feeling is absent; it’s more like cleaning the face as well as moisturizing it. This product is a perfect daily scrub for normal and dry skinned people and for winters.

     Packaging is attractive and in a tube which is hygienic. Flip top cap is good and easy to carry

A little amount is enough for the whole face.

         

    

   What I do not like about the Body Care Rice Bran Scrub :

    The Body care products are not easily available; it’s only available on www.goodlife.com.

     I personally feel that a scrub should neither be too mild nor too harsh; the amount of cream, cleaning agents and scrub particles should be in such a ratio so that it removes the dead layers of the skin and at the same time is not harsh on the skin. I have a tip for my readers if you find a scrub too harsh mix it with a scrub which is too mild and vice versa and you will get the desired results.

     Last but not the least important factor is that this scrub is expensive

Bottom Line:

    But I can tell that it’s a gem of a product, if you exfoliate your skin daily and you like creamy, mild scrubs that too full of so many amazing ingredients, then you should definitely go for it.
