Do I Really Need A Separate Day And Night Cream?

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a day cream and a night cream? Are you one of those who think all moisturizers the same? Pay close attention because in this article we hope to set you on the straight and narrow with regards to how different day and night creams are from each other.
Let’s start with the basics.
Day creams and night creams are each important in their own, special way. Yes, all moisturizers are ultimately designed to moisturize and hydrate your skin, but they also go beyond that.
The job of a moisturizer is to keep the outer layer of the skin pliable and less likely to crack, making it feel soft and smooth. This is mainly achieved by slowing down moisture loss from the skin (water constantly evaporates from it) by creating a physical barrier. The difference between day and night products is in the formulation or the added extras.


 Night creams have the role of repairing and moisturizing the damaged skin. Consequently producers make Night creams more resistant and rich in nutritive ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's), retinol and Vitamin C.
 It has been demonstrated that our skin might react differently to day and night creams according to the time of the day. That's why it is highly recommended to avoid applying day creams before we go to sleep.

 The main reason for this is that when the sun goes down we won't need the SPF anymore. Moreover it would prove to be pretty harmful since it will block the main ingredients of the night cream, making our skin sensitive to light and sun.
During the night our skin focuses on recovering and moisturizing, that's why this night creams concentrates on this particular function of our complexion.
 Strengthening the defensive shield of the skin these creams will do miracles with our pores on a long term. However when applied during the day these can give the impression of an ultra-greasy or oily skin.
 Nighttime creams are usually thicker and more consistent than day creams. Due to their heavy structure these provide an ultra-efficient deep moisturizing effect during the night.
That's why don't panic if you have the impression of wearing a greasy mask. You'll soon notice that the skin tends to absorb nutritive ingredients when we sleep rather than during daytime.


Day creams are meant to protect the skin from the harmful factors during the day. Moreover these beauty products are meant to hydrate our skins and block the UV light as well as the high pollution. The anti-oxidant content and the sunscreen quality, serves as the proper shield for the skin deterioration we might encounter during the day.

 Our skin seems to adopt a different function during the day as well as night. In daytime it seems to devote more energy to protection from stress factors and other damaging effects. That's why the day cream will add a special energy boost to our complexion. This will enhance the increasing of elasticity and resistance.
 A high quality day cream has a light consistency that lets your pores breathe properly. Always look for the basic anti-aging ingredients that will further nourish the skin. It is advisable to choose day creams that can reverse the early aging process and hydrate as well as refresh our complexion all throughout the day.


So to Put It Simply
Day and night creams really complement each other, as they both have different functions. Used together, they can really make a difference in your skin’s appearance. Just make sure they're right for your skin type and, most importantly, that you like the smell and texture of your products, so using them is enjoyable rather than a chore.

What is all the excitement about Marine Collagen?


Why is collagen important to our skin?
Collagen is the chief constituent of connective tissue that supports the structure of the skin. As collagen is depleted, visible signs of skin aging appear and then accelerate. The skin requires constant synthesis of new collagen to remain firm and youthful. Maturity has many advantages, but there's no reason for your skin to look older than it has to. Collagen provides structural support for skin. Without adequate collagen, wrinkles and lines start to form. What is worse, constant UV exposure damages the skin thereby reducing collagen synthesis.


What is marine Collagen?

Marine collagen is a kind of collagen that is extracted from an assortment of ocean algae species such as the species Laminaria as well as Padina Pavonica and sometimes codfish.  Marine collagen derived beauty products can be in the form of facial masks, facial creams, body lotions and even shower creams. Marine collagen is not injected at the moment. It is unknown if such products will be developed at a later time.

Marine collagen does have a quantity of benefits and it seems to do the work somewhat differently than conventional collagen goods. For one, marine collagen creams are built to replenish the skins colloagen in addition to fuel collagen development within our bodies, instead of just replenishing lost collagen. Marine collagen proteins primarily attempt to nurture the growth of type 3 collagen in the skin. As collagen is a fairly big molecule, it has difficulty when moving through our skin. As a result, new techniques must be found to intensify absorption rates. When dealing with normal collagen, this is an easy fix through injections. With marine collagen, polypeptide technology is utilized. Polypeptides have been discovered to stimulate the synthesis of new collagen molecules in our skin.


What products should I look for that has Marine collagen in?
The skin around the eye area is the most delicate skin on our body, and the most exposed to weather and harsh elements. So it's important to use a product which is gentle and non-irritating. IR Beautina Nano Treatment Total Repair Eye Cream is a specially formulated blend of natural ingredients to nourish your skin and reduce wrinkles. With the benefits of Marine Collagen, IR Beautina Nano Treatment Total Repair Eye Cream will gently replenish the delicate eye area. I R Beautina Nano Treatment Total Repair Eye Cream is highly respected for its ability to fight age lines and wrinkles because it's similar to our skin's natural oils.

The cream can be applied on the face and neck area to help with wrinkles & black marks which is the signs of premature aging of the skin. 


A real cost effective body lotion that contains the power of collagen is our Rose Whitening Body Lotion which prevents your skin from stretch mark especially at your waist and thigh area. Rose Whitening Body Lotion is affordable for buying and practical in use.

Lastly we would recommend Rose Whitening Shower Cream that is wonderfully moisturizing and contains marine collagen  to help hydrate, smooth and firm the surface of the skin & making skin more resilient to environmental stress throughout the day.




And Finally
So to wrap things up-The application of marine collagen is a new technology that is all set to play an important role in bringing the youth back for many of us. This technology needs to be perfected and companies like IR Beautina are doing just that so they can produce products with practical efficiency. So if you plan to use this collagen protein to rejuvenate your aging skin, first read in details about the product you are using so that you know what you are getting into.

Centella & It’s Uses in Modern Herbal Skin Care


What is Centella?
Centella is a small herbaceous annual plant found around South East Asia & is used as a culinary leaf & as a medicinal herb in modern herbal skin care products.
It has long-stalked, green, kidney shaped leaves & the flowers are pinkish to red in color, born in small, rounded bunches (umbels) near the surface of the soil.



Culinary uses
Centella is used as a leafy green in Sri Lankan cuisine, where it is called Gotu Kola.
 In Thailand the Centella leaf (ใบบัวบก) is used for preparing a drink or can be eaten in raw form in salads or cold rolls. In Bangkok, vendors in the famous Jatujak Market sell it alongside coconut, Roselle, chrysanthemum, orange and other health drinks.

Centella in herbal skin care.

Why is Centella used in skin care I hear you say?  Well the short answer is that Centella aids in healing and regeneration of the skin. It boosts collagen production and maximizes circulation. It has great anti-bacterial, anti aging, anti-psoriatic and wound-healing properties.


Now here goes with the long answer-
Perhaps the best known benefit of Centella is its ability to improve symptoms of varicose veins. Centella helps in strengthening the capillaries and veins and assists with better blood circulation.
Recent trials have confirmed its ability to relieve symptoms of poor circulation in the veins of the legs. The herb has been used successfully to reduce symptoms of varicose veins, as well as leg cramps, swelling of the legs, and "heaviness" or tingling in the legs.
Centella supports circulatory system: improves brain and peripheral circulation, helps to lower intracranial pressure, and normalize high blood pressure. It also has mild diuretic properties.

Centella is an ideal tonic for the elderly people, who are more likely to have problems with weakened blood vessels, particularly their veins. Also, it may take longer for their skin to heal after cuts, scratches, bruises, or similar injuries.
Additionally Centella is a great herb to be used in face cream for acne prone skin because of its therapeutic properties in healing of the skin.
Lastly scientific evidence confirms the energetic constituents in Centella extract, boosts the skin cell replacement as well as development of collagen and thickening of the epidermis (a good anti-aging property – as we age our skins turn out to be thinner) and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, both of which are important for anti-aging processes to maintain even, toned and vibrant looking skin.


So now you can see why nowadays the unique properties of Centella  is making  it one of the most popular herbs all over the world in modern herbal skin care products. Why not come over to our on line shop www.amazingthaibeauty.com   to check out our Botanic Centella Face & Neck Cream packed with all the goodness from the Centella plant.

Natural Ways of Treating Melasma


Melasma is a common skin disorder. Though it can affect anyone, women with darker skin tones (especially Asian women) are at greater risk. Melasma can be associated with the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is especially common in pregnant women, women taking oral contraceptives, and women taking hormone replacement therapy during menopause. Melasma is completely harmless and not painful, but dark patches on the face can be emotionally distressing. It can greatly diminish your self esteem and self confidence. For this reason, women often search for a Melasma treatment that really works. Both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) are believed to contribute to the formation of melasma, so effective melasma prevention starts with proper sun protection.
There are many options available to treat melasma. Some are cosmetics while some are prescribed medicines. There are also chemical peels; laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion (this is carried out in special facial spa salons). These methods must be done under the supervision of a dermatologist and can be expensive and may require several visits.


However there are natural ingredients in cosmetics that are excellent for treating melasma. Cosmetics made using natural methods are free from any side effects and are permanent in nature. An added bonus - these treatments are also cheaper and can easily be implemented in the privacy of your own home.

The first and most important way of protecting your skin from melasma is to use a sunscreen, especially during summer. Dermatologists advise those who have sensitive skin to apply a high SPF sunscreen on a daily basis. This can prevent the formation of melasma. Furthermore, as a protective shield, it will banish the penetration of UV rays into the depth of the skin.
Many modern day melasma specialty cosmetics contain some or all of the following natural ingredients:


Aloe Vera contains a potent substance called mucilaginous polysaccharide (MPS), which softens and lightens brown spots and other discolorations. Aloe Vera can be found in many of today’s specialty melasma cosmetics.


Turmeric has great properties in treating melasma. Curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric spice, which has antioxidant and skin-lightening properties.
An extract from the Bearberry plant- Alpha-Arbutin is a powerful, yet gentle natural skin lightening agent often used in melasma cosmetic treatments. This natural extract works to inhibit tyrosinase, and thus preventing the formation of the melanin pigment.


Kojic acid is a by-product of malting rice fermentation process and can be a good skin lightening ingredient for treating dark spots and skin discoloration. It has similar skin lightening action as Hydroquinone, but without the health risks associated with Hydroquinone.

Cocoa butter is one of the top-notch ingredients proven to have miraculous effects on the skin. Especially during pregnancy when women often suffer from melasma, it is highly advisable to treat both the affected and healthy skin with beauty lotions rich in nutrients.

Calamine preparations can be used as a moisturizing lotion that soothes the skin during and after melasma treatments.
We have some thoroughly tested melasma skin treatments on our on line shop at

Don't even think that only teenagers have oily skin. In fact, you will be surprised to discover that many people have oily skin problems beginning from their teenage years until their elderly years. Or it can be as fleeting as in the senior year of school and then oily skin issues fade away like an unwanted memory, never to return, thankfully.


Plus, if your mother and father have oily skin, you are also likely to have it, too. Hormones also play a role such that women who undergo their monthly menstrual cycle or who are pregnant can have oily skin too, which may or may not resolves itself after these natural cycles.

REMOVE EYE MAKE-UP
The 1st step in your oily skin care routine is to remove eye make-up.

While most areas around the face are oily, the skin that is around the eyes tends to be more dry and delicate.

• Soak some cotton wool with an eye make-up remover that is non-oily.

• Hold the cotton wool over the eyes. Leave it for a few moments. This will enable it to dissolve and remove the make-up that is on the eyelids, lower and upper lashes.


Are your using ordinary mascara or waterproof mascara? Choose appropriate products designed for the removal of the type of eye make-up that you are using. Check out this article on eye makeup removers.

CLEANSE

• Splash tepid water on your face

• Use a foaming facial wash and work up a good lather. Avoid using ordinary soap which will strip away your skin’s moisture. It will dissolve and remove the dirt, grime and oil accumulated throughout the day.
• Using your fingertips, massage gently over damp skin
• Carefully rinse with a lot of warm water.

• Soak some cotton wool an astringent lotion.
• Wipe over the whole skin. This will provide refreshing and cools the face. Continue until the cotton wool is completely clean.

Choosing the Right Perfume

Everyone wants to smell good all the time. This may be possible if one has just come out from the shower but after being exposed to dust, dirt and pollution, a person tends to smell bad and become edgy and irritable.


 Perfumes, colognes and fragrance oils help a person smell good even after staying out in the sun all day. Just a spray or dab on the wrists makes a huge difference. Smelling good not only boosts one’s self esteem but it also helps lift one’s spirits.

When to Wear Perfume.

There are many perfumes that are light smelling. That means that they add something to you without making a bold statement. This type of perfume is ideal for weekend wear and weeknight evening wear. You can apply a lotion to achieve this smell or a spray. At work, you will need to determine if wearing perfume is ok. There are some work places that do not welcome perfume scents. These places could include sales positions, working with kids or animals, hospital work and so on. Think about whether your work place is appropriate for perfume and then determine if a strong scent or a light scent would work best. For example if you work at a fashion runway spot or a bar, a heavy perfume might be just fine.

 When you want to be noticed or feel sexy and attractive, wearing a bold perfume scent is the thing to do. In this situation you can go with all three types of perfume at once. The deodorant, the spray and the lotion can be applied. These types of situation would include; a night out with friends, a date with the husband, or a date with the boyfriend. This bold scent is usually seen at night, but can make an appearance during certain times. For example if the special date is during the day and it won`t bother anyone around you. And weddings would be another place where this might be ok.

 Some bold scents are offensive to other people. Some people have allergies and others just don`t like strong smells. Try to remember that everyone has different tastes, so if you`re going with a bold scent, make sure that you will be moving around. If your date is at the movies surrounded by lots of people, perhaps go with a lighter smell. However if your venturing around at a party or a club, the heavy perfume will simply go in and out of peoples noses as you pass by.

 Adding a perfume lotion to your body after a shower is a great idea. It can add some scent without being too bold. This scent will give your body a fresh scent that will last for a few hours. It is perfect to apply when you want to feel fresh for yourself or just before that big date.



How to apply Perfumes

1. Spray or dab perfume to a couple of your pulse points, usually your wrists and neck, though some women favor the back of the knees, crease of the elbows and/or their cleavage.

2. Do not rub wrists together afterwards as this flattens the scent.

3. Spray a little into the air and walk into it to diffuse the scent all over you.

4. If you're wearing perfume, try not to use scented body lotions/toners/moisturizers, as the end result will be confused. Use unscented products instead.

5. Keep perfume away from heat and direct sunlight and make sure the lid is on firmly to keep it at its best.

Whichever type of perfume one chooses though, one thing is for sure. The reason people buy perfumes is because they like smelling good all the time. Who doesn’t want to smell good? Smelling good seems to bring a lot of good things to a person – it attracts other people to you and it doesn’t make a person insecure.
Amazing Thai Beauty has a selection of perfumes suited for all tastes and occasions to make you smell good!

Aloe Vera -How can you live without it!

The benefits of Aloe Vera have been widely known for thousands of years, and it has long been used by ancient cultures because of its wide variety of healing properties. Today, we continue to use this potent herb in a variety of ways.


Used as a wound curing method:
Aloe Vera is wide known for its curing soothing effects on burns and other wounds. The great number of researches shows that Aloe Vera when applied to a wound increases both the rate of wound closure and the tensile strength of the wound via the proliferation of cells, liver, including skin, nerve and blood cells.
Anti aging skin care:
Aloe Vera components reverse degenerative skin changes by stimulating elastin, collagen and synthesis. It turns back the clock on the effects aging has on skin.


The restoration of immune system:
The researches have shown that Aloe Vera prevents suppression of the skin's immune system. Such suppression may be one of causes of skin cancer. The topical using of the Aloe Vera can be made up to 24 hours after exposure to ultraviolet light without reducing the degree of prevention regarding immune system suppression.

Why Are Herbal Soaps So Good?

One of the best reasons to buy herbal soaps is to get away from all of the chemical additives that damage your skin. The main reason the chemical additives are bad is that they dry out your skin, but for many people, including children, they often lead to rashes and other skin irritation problems. The main reasons for this is that commercial soap companies are using synthetic additives in their soap, and at the same time they are removing the glycerin from their product. This is one of the main reasons herbal soaps that are handmade are becoming more popular every day.

One thing that all consumers should do is look at the labels of the soaps they are buying, and look at the unhealthy ingredients that these companies are using. They attempt to give consumers the allusion that the soaps are beneficial and healthy, but in reality they are not. They have become very adept at cleverly deceiving the public.

Herbal soaps that are completely natural will over time restore your skin from dried out, to moist and healthy looking. It is important to make sure that the homemade soap you use is as natural as possible, and uses only natural ingredients.
Soaps that have been made using natural vegetable oils, such as olive oil or essential oils, date back to old ancient times when chemists used natural ingredients, and when it comes to soap making, not much has changed since then.

There are many herbal soaps on the market & one of our most popular soaps is our 3 in 1 Tamarind Botanic Soap which is  deep cleansing yet luxuriously, nourishing and soothing to the skin, especially the face and hands. Our soap is a superb facial cleaner; gently tighten the pores (yet not overly drying). It is also great for full body cleansing.
Tamarind Extract & seaweed extract used in our soap are ancient, highly prized botanicals to help exfoliate the skin, retain moisture and promote skin rejuvenation.

Another wonderful soap is our Turmeric 3 in 1 Botanic soap. Turmeric has been traditionally used in medical practices for centuries, and is felt to be very effective in treating infections and boils. It's a wonderful soap for people who are diabetic. It helps to prevent bacteria in the skin as well as restoring skin to a natural luster.

Finally we would recommend our 3 in 1 Mangosteen Botanic which is a blend of mangosteen extracts with its fresh, sweet aromas that fight against aging skin.

3 in 1 Mangosteen Botanic also contains allantoin, which is a botanical extract said to heal and soothe.  Using our 3 in 1 Mangosteen Botanic Soap helps protect your skin from pollution and dust which causes acne, pimples, and body odor.
Although you will find that herbal soaps are slightly more expensive than store bought soaps, the price difference is not that much, and when you take into consideration the benefits you get for those few extra pennies it is more than worth it.

Your hair is an important part of your appearance. There are countless ways to wear it and dye it. It says a lot about who you are and what kind of personality you have. When taking care of your hair, it's important to use the best hair care products available. One of these new brand of hair care products is Skin Mates Amino Therapy Hair Serum.

Hair serums provide an easy solution for hard to manage hair of any type. Use it to tame split ends, slick hair into styles and give the hair new life with a shine to die for. Hair serums can even be used by those who want that sleek straight hair look, without using damaging heating utensils. Hair serums can be used to make combing hair easier and for giving a polished look to a new do.


How hair serum works. The hair serum coats your hair’s strands, offering a layer of protection against the elements and smoothing over any tendencies toward frizz. Hair serums with UV protection are good choices, since they protect your hair from sun damage.



How to use hair serum. You apply hair styling serum after shampooing. Take a few drops of hair serum, rub them between the palms of your hands, and then smooth the serum over, across, and through your wet hair. You can find serums in spray form if you prefer their easy application. A dollop about the size of a penny should be enough, although people with curly hair may need a bit more and those with straight hair might be able to get by with a bit less. Be careful to distribute the hair serum evenly, starting near the ends and working up to just below the roots. You should avoid spreading serum on your scalp and the roots of your hair, particularly if your scalp tends to be oily.

Drying and styling.
Once you’ve applied the serum, you can let your hair dry naturally, or blow-dry and style as you normally do. Hair serums can help protect your hair if you use heat-styling tools like blow-dryers, curling irons, or straightening irons.

You don’t have to put up with dull, frizzy, flyaway hair. Tame it with Skin Mates Amino Therapy Hair Serum  and flaunt your silky, shiny tresses.

10 Tips to a Healthy Foot Massage

There is nothing more relaxing than a foot massage. Let's face it your feet are one of the most overworked parts of your body. They hold up your body weight and when you walk or run, that is added abuse to your feet. A massage using Spa Pro Relaxing Foot Massage Cream can perk up even the most tired of feet.


10 Tips to a Healthy Foot Massage
Thai medicine lays a lot of importance on foot massage or alternatively called reflexology foot massage. Your health depends on how well your organs, internal and external work with each other in sync.

This equilibrium is exactly what foot massage tries to maintain and enhance.
You need not visit a therapist regularly for a foot massage.

This simple technique can be done at home and you and your health will benefit quite well through this massage. Here are some small tips to help you give yourself a light yet very effective foot massage:
1) Try and do foot massage at night before sleeping. It is very important that you do not touch water after this massage.
2) Make sure your dinner is over at least 90 minutes before you go to bed. this helps in digestion, maintaining healthy weight and avoiding obesity. It is also important for foot massage that you have not eaten anything 60 minutes before the massage.
3) Make sure you have cleaned your feet thoroughly before this massage. Most ideal would be warm water bath. You can wash your feet separately in warm water, add a little salt to this water (a pinch of salt would do).
4) If your feet have dead skin it is most likely your feet smell at times, use a puma stone or a dead skin peeler for removing it.
5) Just the way you dry your body, pat dry your feet thoroughly. Leave them to dry the moisture for a minute or two while you dress for bed.
6) Apply the massage oil you want, we  recommend Spa Pro Relaxing Foot Massage Cream,  or any other recommended oil to your feet. If you suffer from any ailment related to feett please seek physician's advice before going for a foot massage therapy.
7) Start the massage by applying oil all over your feet. Ensure your feet are not touching anywhere, you can use a stool to aid massage. Gentle smooth rubbing motion should start from the heel and move towards toes.
8) Ensure you do not apply extra pressure. Soft movements will help your feet rejuvenate. Early massage should be at the bottom of your feet. Massage should continue at least for 5 minutes.
9) Toes should be paid extra attention. Massaging toes should be done with equal ease. Take a single toe finger at time and apply enough oil. Start massaging it lightly. With each toe finger you will find release of stress.
10) Same thing should be done to the top of the foot, however, take care not to apply too much thumb pressure. This can cause you pain.
So in conclusion-Nothing can help you relax more than a nice, stress-relieving foot massage. Learning how to give one can be a great gift for a friend or loved one & as you can see in this quick guide  It's not very hard to do.

Men's Grooming - Hair

If it's one thing men care about when it comes to grooming it's their hair--the kind on their head anyway. Whether it's flaking, gray, greasy, poorly cut, thinning or just plain falling out by the minute, it can be an instant indictment of a guy's appearance. All is not lost though. These problems can be dealt with before your lady friend decides she has had enough.
One other thing to take into account is, gone are the days when looking after one self was considered an unmanly conduct. This is the era for metro sexuality you have to look good every day. This term is gaining fame and is being adopted by the hour. People have come to realize that it is not fair that women should go on to great lengths to get the positive nod from the opposite sex then why not vice versa?


Steps to Groom Men's Hair
1. Shampoo: Choose a shampoo that has a nice aromatic smell. The shampoo should be ph balanced so that the hair gets clean and remains healthy.  Wash every other day or maybe two times a week. Remember washing your hair too often will make your hair lose its natural oils and leave it dry.
2. Tone: Gently massage your hair as you shampoo. Use the balls of your finger tips in push-ups fashion. This is often neglected and we don't bother doing it but this helps the scalp to release the natural oils from the sebaceous glands. Most of the oil is near the scalp. If there is no conditioner to be followed, gently towel dry the hair by squeezing but do not rub. A moisturizing conditioner after washing works wonders.
3. Condition: Conditioner is a vital hair product if you suffer from dry hair. Moisturize your hair. For oily hair, it is better to use a herbal rinse. Conditioner is good for dandruff too.

Men's Hair Care Tips:
Do not use cheap styling products. Cheap ones will either dry out the hair or grease it up. Find good quality gel, conditioner, mousse or whichever product that is best for your hair type. They may be expensive but they will be good for your hair.
Thoroughly rinse hair before swimming so it doesn't absorb the chlorine, and thoroughly wash the hair to get rid of the chlorine.
You can usually tell when it’s time to wash your hair. When it gets oily you know you have to wash it. If you wash it too often, it gets frizzy and if you don't wash it often enough, you get dandruff.
Do not over use shine products to control fizzes, they often contain silicone that can coat your hair and cause damage.
Brush your hair in the shower after you apply conditioner with a wide brush.
If you have thick hair, it is better to wash your hair every day.

Black Rice Hair Care

Men and women are always looking for the fountain of youth, especially when their 40s hit and hairlines begin to recede. Rice is rumored to be a miracle food for hair growth and balding prevention. But it is all that simple? Some rice is great for hair growth, but it's less about the rice and more about its biological makeup that makes it good for the hair. Some rice has special minerals that keep the hair thick and healthy, and some products are taking advantage of these properties.
 Like red and brown rice, black types of rice retains the bran cover that is usually removed to create the traditional white rice. This means that it retains its natural nutritional benefits than the more processed white rice.
Black rice are packed with vitamins, amino acids and minerals plus high amounts of fiber.Black rice also contains anthocyanins, a good antioxidant.


Biotin  Biotin is also known as vitamin H and B7. It is an integral part of cell production and cell growth, the production of fatty acids and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. It also helps to transfer carbon dioxide in the body. These properties help to stimulate both the hair and the nails, so biotin is found in numerous cosmetics products, especially for the hair.

Rice Proteins  Another healthy element of rice is its proteins. Hydrolyzed rice proteins help protect the hair fromdrying elements like wind, dry air and sun. It also strengthens hair against other day-to-day stress agents that can cause it to split, break and fall out. It also adds body to the hair and gives it more tensile strength to battle the elements.

A number of hair products on the market feature rice proteins as main ingredients. Amazing Thai Beauty sells both a hair treatment,conditioners and shampoo that use rice proteins as a main ingredient. These products are some of Amazing Thai Beauty  most popular hair care products.
