Benefits of rice water: Nowadays people’s awareness regarding skin care is increasing. Everyone wants their skin to look soft, hydrated and glowing. In this sequence, people have also started paying attention towards home remedies. Rice water is one such natural remedy, which has been used for skin for a long time. People apply it for moisturizing, reducing pigmentation and keeping the skin hydrated, but the question arises whether it is safe to sleep after applying it on the face overnight or not? Skin experts emphasize that every skin type is different, and what is beneficial for one may cause a reaction for another. Therefore, it is very important to do a patch test before using it. Apart from this, it should also be seen whether your skin is dry, oily or sensitive. While sleeping at night, skin is repaired and pores open. For this reason, many people think that if rice water is applied overnight then it will have a better effect on the skin, but experts say that initially applying it for a short time is the right way. This will help you understand whether your skin is able to tolerate it or not. If there is no reaction, then the option of gradually applying it overnight can be adopted.
