Rice powder cosmetics is one of those topics that heated up cosmetic industry and left customers puzzled: is it good for us or isnt it? Normally, we buy our cosmetics in pretty little boxes and jars, they smell nice and make us look even prettier than we are. As we get older, we spend a little more money for it, to hide wrinkles, blemishes and other unpleasant reminders that we are mortal. But, nobody that I know reads labels of their cosmetics. Now it seems like we have to.
The debate between manufacturers of rice powder cosmetics and its critics rages because rice powder cosmetics are made from organic rice, which, according to the critics, is food source for bacteria and contributes to the formation of adult acne. Defenders of rice powder cosmetics claim that there is absolutely no scientific backing for this belief.
Acnes are caused by bacteria that normally live in our skin called Propionibacterium Acnes. When our pores get blocked by poor quality cosmetics, they cannot breathe and bacteria thrive, causing inflammation called acne.
Rice powder is very old ingredient in beauty and health products. Indians used it, and still do, in ayurvedic healing, as a poultice to soothe skin inflamed with acne or skin ulcerations on the skin. Rice Powder used in rice powder cosmetics is organic, completely natural, and it actually helps heal the skin, not damage it.
Rice powder cosmetics were made famous by Japanese geishas to create the famous porcelane white complexion with ruby red lips. Modern ladies are not going to plaster their faces like geishas, and they use rice powder cosmetics because they care for the organic ingredients in their cosmetics, and do not want to overwhelm their skin with too many chemicals. After all, we are very careful about what we eat, so we should be equally careful about what we put on our skin.
Most of us do not want to know what goes in our pretty little jars of cosmetics and powders, and all those chemicals names would not mean much to us: Bismuth Oxychloride, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, Jojoba Oil, Lemongrass, Neem, and Ylang-Ylang, Mica or Sericite.
What we do need to know is if some of those ingredients are causing nasty little pimples which are bane of our lives and which are destroying our social lives. But, rice powder cosmetics are made of only the purest, cosmetic grade rice powder, they are light and clean and at the same time soothe our skin and make it smooth and perfect.
Rice powder cosmetics are very popular among women who have particularly sensitive skin and have bad reaction from cosmetics which contain mica. It helps that they also come in a range of colors, all in order to make us more beautiful than we are. Great!

It is pretty common knowledge that many actors, singers, models, reality TV stars, and other celebrities have undergone plastic surgery to make themselves look younger, give themselves the bodies they have always wanted, or improve the appearance of the face. However, even though it is totally obvious that some celebrities have undergone cosmetic surgery, they just won’t come out and admit that they have undergone treatment.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman finally admitted in a recent magazine interview that she has had Botox injections, but says that was in the past and she did not like the effects of the product. Kidman remained mum on the subject of plastic surgery, despite persistent rumors that the Academy Award winning actress has undergone breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and liposuction. A simple Internet search of the actress reveals photos that were taken in the 80s; back then Kidman’s nose looks as though it has a different shapes and her lips were much thinner.
Madonna
A telltale sign of use of plastic surgery and non-invasive aesthetic treatments: women in their 40s, 50s, and up that do not have a single wrinkle on their face. Madonna is in her 50s and does not exhibit the normal signs of aging such as wrinkling of the skin or skin laxity. She credits a macrobiotic diet and stringent fitness routine, which includes yoga, for maintaining such a youthful appearance for her age. Plastic surgeons and gossipers agree that the Queen of Pop has likely undergone some type of facial plastic surgery procedure, or at the very least, non-invasive treatments such as chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing.
Kim Kardashian
The reality TV star has undergone non-invasive cosmetic treatments, including VelaShape and Botox injections, on her reality show. However, the buxom beauty denies having the plastic surgery procedures she is rumored to have undergone, such as butt augmentation, placement of breast implants, rhinoplasty, and lip enhancement. While it is hard to tell if her butt or breasts have been augmented, her nose does appear to have been reshaped sometime between the first and second seasons of her reality show.

Who Invented Cosmetics
The Invention and History of Cosmetics
One of the amazing facts about cosmetics is that, as current as they might be in modern society, they have actually been around for a long time. In fact, every time one takes a look at the face of a known model on the TV or at the cover of a fashion magazine, what we see is actually not that different from what people from different civilizations saw thousands of years ago when looking at the faces of the rich and powerful.
This is because cosmetics were not an alien idea for cultures that inhabited the world long before ours. For example, cosmetics are already mentioned in the form of face paintings as far back as the Old Testament, and across the course of history it has been a symbol of status to have your face decorated with some kind of painted mark.
However, it would be impossible to point at just one direction if we wanted to determine the origins of cosmetics, since so many cultures contributed in great part to make it what it is today.
Early Origins of Cosmetics
To start with, many Egyptian remains have been found dating from around the year 10,000 BC which show eye shadows on some of the people of this culture, who are presumed to have used it for burials and other religious rituals. Curiously enough, the eye shadows that women used at that time were made not just from natural minerals, but also from crushed beetle wings.
Some centuries after that, the term Cosmetae was invented by the Romans to describe the slaves who were in charge of bathing both men and women in perfume. This marked a very important trend in the history of cosmetics, in which not just the Romans, but also many other cultures started to fuse the concept of cosmetics with the one of perfume and fragrance. This was due to the way in which both cosmetics and perfumes were created, which was extremely similar since both used vegetable and animal oils in their composition.
Cosmetics in Modern Times
During the years after that, between the eight and sixteen centuries, the focus of cosmetics expanded from just the face to the entire body and the hair. This was perfectly exemplified by the noble people of that age, who started using lead dyes to get a pale look on their skin. But this caused disfigurements and other serious skin problems, turning people away from cosmetics, marking a turning point in cosmetics history.
However, confidence in cosmetics was restored in modern times by the discovery of safer components around the nineteen-century, which finally made cosmetics mainstream due to the popularity they gained among famous actresses at the time.
