Just like many of us, Kusha Kapila also swears by the benefits of rice water for good skin and hair. What made us say that? Her latest Instagram entry. The popular influencer and actress recently attached a video on social media wherein she highlighted the importance of the staple in her skincare routine, also reflecting on its benefits for longer hair. Listing the benefits of rice on her acne-prone skin, she also has a face mask on, as seen in the clip.
The video opens with Kusha Kapila humorously telling her fans, “In 2024, I learnt one thing: rice is not for eating. If we look at our South Korean brothers and sisters, we can see how rice is used everywhere — from their facewash and toner to their moisturiser and serum. In China, people use boiled rice water and apply it to their hair for growth.”
Kusha Kapila learnt the beauty hack through videos on Instagram. Narrating how to use rice for skin and hair health, she said, “Soak rice and make a paste of this with water and apply it anywhere on your skin and hair, whether you have acne or hair issues.”
Captioning the clip, Kusha penned, “Chawal (rice) for world domination… my face mask courtesy of chawal.”
