What are the contents, characteristics, functions and effects of natural beauty techniques

The core of natural beauty techniques covers three categories: external application of natural raw materials, physical meridian maintenance, and internal adjustment in daily life. The core features are easy availability of raw materials, low operating threshold, and overall lower irritation. However, the effects are generally mild and slow-acting. They can only be used as a supplement to daily skin care and cannot replace functional skin care products or medical beauty methods.

I am a semi-practitioner of natural beauty. I have stepped into pitfalls and picked up treasures. The most common thing I use for emergencies is to apply iced cucumber on my face. If my face becomes red and hot after running outside for an afternoon in the summer, cut two thick slices of refrigerated cucumber and apply it for 10 minutes to reduce the redness. This can save you a lot of time, it works faster than many soothing masks, and you don’t have to worry about fragrance and preservatives irritating sensitive skin. Similar methods include washing your face with rice water, boiling white fungus gel and letting it cool for a wet compress, which are all natural external application techniques that are very popular in the circle. However, this controversy is not small. A lot of people were arguing a while ago. One group said that as long as it is natural, it is safer than chemical-based skin care products. The other group said that the risks of unpurified natural raw materials are much higher than legal skin care products. I have been in this trap myself. I believed the blogger who said that applying fresh lemon slices to the face can beautify the face. White, after applying it the next day, I went out to sunbathe for half an hour. My whole face turned dark and it stung for almost a week. Later I found out that the concentration of photosensitive substances in fresh lemon was too high. Applying it directly to my face without diluting it would completely damage my skin. Both theories are actually reasonable. The key is to understand the characteristics of the raw materials accurately and not to blindly apply it to your face.

Physical maintenance techniques that do not require the addition of foreign ingredients are also widely used. I apply a layer of massage oil on my face after washing my face every week, and use a horn stick to scrape up the jawline for 5 minutes. The edema after staying up the night before is basically eliminated, and even the jawline is clear. Quite a bit, this method of stimulating local meridians to speed up metabolism has almost no risks at the ingredient level. At most, problems may arise if the technique is not right. My best friend previously saw others saying that scraping is effective. She scraped so hard that her whole face was red. She had to wear a mask every time she went out for half a month. In autumn and winter, I dry brush my body with a bristle brush. After two months of doing this, the pimpled skin on my legs has faded a lot. It feels much more comfortable than applying the acid-based body lotion before, and there will be no stinging or peeling.

Many people will ignore the content of internal adjustment. In fact, this is the best part of natural beauty to maintain a good complexion. I used to like to stay up late and drink milk tea, and my face was always dark and yellow. No matter how many whitening masks I applied, it could not save it. Later, I forced myself to drink 1500ml of warm white water every day. I switched from milk tea to drinking Tremella peach gum twice a week. Within three months, even my mother asked me if I had changed to any expensive skin care products, and my face became more than one degree brighter. This technique, which starts from adjusting the body's metabolism, improves the entire person's condition, not just the temporary effect on the face.

Of course, don’t overestimate the efficacy of natural beauty. A relative had chloasma before. After trying various natural remedies for half a year, but to no avail. Finally, he went to the hospital for a photoelectric project to improve it. For problems such as stains and static wrinkles that have penetrated deep into the dermis, natural methods are basically ineffective. It is more suitable for daily maintenance and care, helping you maintain a healthy skin and delaying the occurrence of problems.
