Product Review: I had the opportunity to sample the Rice Force Facial Cleansing and Moisturizing products and let me tell you, I was absolutely amazed! Not only is the application routine easy to follow, but the results that followed were unbelievable and evident almost right away! Since entering my 60^th year on this amazing earth, and likely because I had been a smoker of about 2 packs a day for nearly 35 years off and on, (I’m now one week into my stop smoking adventure!) I began to notice my skin took on a dull appearance and felt so incredibly dry and flaky, and let’s not even discuss the sudden appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a woman who cares about her appearance, I was so self-conscious about my skin. I could either accept that I am just getting old, or I could adapt a routine with quality, natural products that promised results. I might be older in my years, but I do not have to look it! That is when the wonderful folks at Rice Force contacted me with an opportunity to try their products and write a review for our magazine. What perfect timing! I could not wait for my Deluxe Sample Kit to arrive! While I awaited the arrival of my facial products I decided to get to know their product line. What made their products so special that they could guarantee results? As you might guess, the main ingredient that augurs the success of their products is RICE! Their web site states, “It is this rice that gives the RICE FORCE skin care the breath of life.” The Japanese are known for their beautiful silken skin. This is said to be the result of soaking in rice bran infused baths, claiming that rice holds a mysterious power that beautifies the skin. As we all know, prevention is the best medicine. The folks at Rice Force fully follow that belief. They believe by caring for our skin on a daily basis will protect our skin from damage; weather, toxins, and aging. They believe that any ingredient placed directly on our skin should be as natural as possible. In an effort to create a product that was close to Mother Nature’s own ingredients their research and development team uncovered the hidden powers in rice. So how did they do this and what was their inspiration? As explained on their web site, “The beautifying power behind RICE FORCE skin care products lies with Rice Power® Extract. Rice Power® Extract was developed by a sake brewery that boasts a legacy of over 150 years. The perceptive owner of the brewery, who holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural Science, noticed something interesting about the tōji, the craftsmen who make sake. The tōji were in daily contact with malted rice, the main ingredient of sake, and all of them had beautiful hands regardless of old age. Entrusting there were more uncovered benefits in a grain of rice, the brewery owner embarked on a research program with the support from the Japanese Government and medical institutions to discover a brand new category of skin care products.” Based on what I read about the ingredients in their skin care products, I was ready to give their products a try. Within just a few days my Deluxe Trial Kit arrived.  Enclosed in this kit was a complete description of the products and their benefits as well as a detailed regime of how to use the cleanser and moisturizers. My kit contained free samples of their Make-up Remover, Mild Face Wash and their UV Protect Milk. I also received their Deep Moisture Lotion, Deep Moisture Essence, and Deep Moisture Cream, all contained in a handy carrying pouch. I was really impressed with their simple 3-step skin care regime. Having little time to fuss over my skin care, this kit made the process easy and effortless. The routine required me to apply the products once in the morning and again at night before going to bed; five minutes and I was ready for my day. Centered on their claims for the effects of their product I was hopeful that I would see results in my skin. Wow! I mean wow!! Just after the first application my skin felt so soft and smooth. My skin had not felt this good in years! My face felt supple and fresh. Not just for a short period, but I’m talking all day long! I am completely sold on their concept that the Rice Power® Extract is the secret to the fountain of youth. This high quality product is well worth the price when you are able to see almost immediate results. Don’t you think your skin is worth it? You can try their Deluxe Trial Kit for just $29.80, just like the one I received. This gives you the opportunity to try their products and see the effects for yourself. Their online products include Facial Wash, Acne Care, Deep Moisture, Make-up Base, and Hair and Body Care. The folks at Rice Force have several value packages available on their web site which offer great savings when purchasing their products as a group. They offer a subscription service as well so you never run out of product. You can select which products you wish to use and the frequency of shipping. How easy is that?
