Athena The natural beauty techniques we usually talk about are, to put it bluntly, methods of improving skin condition without the use of chemically synthesized medical beauty products or industrial high-concentration skin care products. They rely on natural ingredients and the body's own regulation to improve skin condition. In fact, the core cannot avoid the internal adjustment of food, the external nourishment applied on the face, and the adjustment of living habits according to the biological clock. Many people use a mixture of these three directions to achieve the best results.
I used to have a best friend who ate takeout all the time, and her complexion was so dark that even after applying two layers of foundation, her powder stuck. Later, she listened to traditional Chinese medicine and drank unsweetened white fungus and lily soup every day, and ate steamed black chicken twice a week. Even after drinking for two months when she went out without makeup, people asked her if she secretly had photorejuvenation. However, this controversy has always been quite controversial. Many dermatologists say that "the nutrients you eat are very minimal to the skin." There are also girls who follow the trend and eat too much so-called beauty ingredients such as peach gum and snow swallow. Instead, their faces are covered with acne due to the intake of too much invisible sugar. In fact, in the end, it still has to adapt to the body type. People with cold bodies drink iced lemon honey water every day. Let alone beauty, it is considered good if their face does not collapse.
After talking about food, let’s talk about the outside food that everyone is most familiar with. It is not the kind of food that you dare to put on your face. I went to the beach last summer and my whole face was red and hot due to the sun. I didn't dare to use a repair mask containing preservatives, so I squeezed the juice from the aloe vera grown at home and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. I first tested it behind my ears to see if it was not allergic, and then I applied it for 15 minutes. Most of the redness subsided in the same day. There is also a friend with dry skin who finds moisturizing creams too sticky in winter, so he uses diluted jojoba oil to rub his face twice a week, and his skin doesn’t break out all winter long. However, there are quite a few people who fall into this trap. A while ago, I saw someone cutting raw cucumber slices directly and applying it to their face. Instead, their face was swollen for three days due to the stimulation of the plant alkaloids in the cucumber. There were also people who used raw eggs as facial masks and were infected with mites. To put it bluntly, natural raw materials are not effective if they are applied directly to the face. Sensitivity testing and pre-treatment steps are indispensable.
What many people tend to overlook is natural beauty based on lifestyle habits. To put it bluntly, it means following the rhythm of the body. I stayed up late at night to catch up on projects for half a year, and the dark circles under my eyes were so heavy that it felt like I had been punched twice. I used three or four bottles of expensive eye cream and it still didn't go away. Then I forced myself to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day and get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. Of course, some people say, "I stay up late every day until two or three o'clock and my skin is still good." After all, this kind of genetic lottery is God's gift of food. We ordinary people don't have to try and make mistakes with our own faces. The long nights we stay up will be written on our faces in the end.
In fact, there are no clear boundaries between these categories. My friends with good skin basically adjust their skin internally, externally, and with daily routine. It is rare that they can develop good skin by relying on only one of them. After all, natural beauty is a slow process. If you want to be quick, there is no need to choose this path, right?
