I've recently moved to LA from Japan, and due to the dry air here, I've been experimenting with various ways to protect my skin. I discovered that eating rice is beneficial for the skin, especially porridge, as it retains moisture from the rice, providing hydration from within. It's also good for digestion. I like to add Umeboshi, a pickled plum, which is great to eat in the morning due to its probiotics and amino acids.
