What to know about rice
> Rich in starch, rice also contains vitamins (B1, B3 and B6), magnesium and zinc which makes it a perfect ally for your skin.
> Nothing is lost in rice: you can cook its grains but also transform them into powder to make scrubs. Also remember to recover its cooking water to use it as a moisturizer for the face or hair.
> Choose organic rice if possible and avoid pre-cooked preparations which are less rich in nutrients.
