Rice Bran Oil: the Miracle Natural Skin Care Oil

Natural ingredients, such as rice bran oil, obtained from the bran of the rice kernel, are better for you than synthetic or refined equivalents when used in skin care and cosmetic products. With the right ingredients you will find that your skin is healthier, and that you will feel healthier as a result.

There are several reasons why you should avoid products that are not natural. Here are four of them:

Synthetic chemicals and other non-natural ingredients have a tendency to dry your skin, so the manufacturers attempt to counteract this by adding others - most of which, again, are synthetic. Take ordinary soap, for example. Made from caustic soda and fat, soap can dry out your skin very rapidly by removing its natural oils, and so refined oils are added to replace the loss.
Refined oils have had their natural antioxidants removed. These are needed to counteract the damaging effects that free radicals have on your skin. Free radicals are formed by pollutants such as tobacco smoke, traffic and industrial emissions, chemicals such as pesticides and the UV component of sunlight. One free radical can set off a chain reaction that destroys thousands of skin cells, so without antioxidants your skin will wrinkle and age faster.
Natural oils contain a number of different phytochemicals (natural plant chemicals) that work together to offer a synergistic effect in counteracting free radicals and preventing many skin problems such as dryness, psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. These are missing in the refined oils used in normal commercial skin care products.
The more non-natural ingredients used, the more have to be added to the formulation to counteract the damaging effects of each other on your skin. Natural rice bran oil requires no added ingredients since it contains no added damaging synthetic chemicals because nothing has been removed that has to be replaced with synthetics.

The oil contains many nutrients and essential oils, and is also rich in tocopherol and tocotrienol, two forms of the powerful antioxidant Vitamin E. It is a common beauty aid in Japan, and is a mild oil that is easily absorbed by the skin, being particularly suitable for sensitive skins.

Rice bran oil is also rich in a substance known as oryzanol, an antioxidant and free radical 'buster' more powerful than Vitamin E and found only in this oil. Rub this into your skin and feel the difference - no, see the difference after only a few applications. It will make your skin both feel and look years younger once the new skin cells have had a chance to grow and replace the old.

If you suffer from eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, then give rice bran oil a try. It is very effective, and probably the most powerful skin care product available today. It contains more phytosterols than any other oil, with its resultant anti-inflammatory properties that improves your immune system and helps to prevent the development of acne skin and other skin problems.

Rice bran oil contains 27 of these miracle substances in addition to its two types of Vitamin E and its oryzanol content. How can you possibly fail to look better and feel better by using this marvelous natural skin care product? It beats any synthetic cosmetic product hands down!
