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

The core of natural beauty techniques covers three dimensions: internal care, external care, and behavioral adjustment. The core feature is that the raw materials are mostly taken from common natural ingredients and plants. They rely on long-term persistence rather than immediate effects. They not only improve skin condition, but also simultaneously regulate overall health.

I have been working on natural beauty for almost 5 years, and I have encountered more pitfalls than I have accumulated effective prescriptions. To be honest, this thing is not a "magic prescription" posted on the Internet. It only works if it is suitable.

Let’s talk about internal regulation first. The most common ones are various health-preserving food recipes, such as the Tremella lily porridge that many people recommend. Some people say that drinking this collagen supplement is purely an IQ tax. After all, there is no animal-derived collagen in plants, and dermatologists also say that there is a lot of it in Tremella fungus. Sugar is more about improving the body's water-holding capacity and cannot be applied directly to the face. However, I insist on drinking it 3 times a week. My face is no longer dry and sticky like before when I stayed in a heating room in winter. Even my lips are less flaky. It is indeed useful. There is also rose tea that many people like to drink. It is really friendly to girls who are prone to redness, swelling and acne during their uterine period. My best friend used to have two or three hard pimples on her chin that were painful to the touch. After drinking warm rose tea for half a year, now I only get whiteheads and small pimples that disappear in a day or two. However, we must also pay attention to the fact that Chinese medicine also mentions that people with yin deficiency and internal heat are more likely to get angry and break out acne if they drink too much. It is not suitable for everyone.

After talking about what is eaten in the stomach, let’s talk about external care applied directly to the face. Most of them use fresh fruits and vegetables or plant extracts without complicated processing. For example, cucumber slices for face application and fresh aloe vera for after-sun repair are all recipes that have been passed down for many years. Last summer, I went to the beach to play and my face was red from the sun. After burning it, I went home and cut thick cucumber slices and applied it for 20 minutes. The burning sensation subsided much faster than just spraying mineral water. However, some beauty bloggers have done tests. It is difficult for the macromolecule nutrients in cucumber to penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin and can only temporarily soothe and hydrate. It is definitely unrealistic to expect it to whiten and lighten spots. There are also people who directly use aloe vera grown at home and rub it on their face. My cousin did this before and was allergic to the emodin in aloe vera. Her face turned red and stung for three days before it healed. Instead, it is better to use finished aloe vera gel that has been purified to remove the irritating ingredients.

Many people think that natural beauty means eating and applying natural products. In fact, the most cost-effective natural beauty remedies are the most easily overlooked good habits, such as rubbing warm hands and covering your eyes for five minutes every day, going to bed before 11 o'clock, and standing against the wall for 15 minutes after meals. These are all included. I used to stay up late all year round and had severe dark circles under my eyes. I used three or four bottles of expensive eye cream but it didn't go away. Later, I listened to an old Chinese medicine practitioner and told me to cover my eyes for five minutes every day before going to bed. I then forced myself to lie down before 11 o'clock. In less than two months, the dark circles under my eyes were half reduced. It's better than any thousand-dollar skin care product. However, if you have natural vascular or pigmented dark circles, this method will have limited effect, so don’t rely on it.

Speaking of the characteristics of natural beauty, it is actually very distinctive. It is not like medical beauty or high-concentration skin care products. You can see obvious changes after two or three days of use. It is more like pouring slow-release fertilizer on flowers. Instead of spraying the fertilizer on the leaves twice and it will be bright immediately, it must slowly penetrate into the roots so that the whole plant will be in good condition. The cost is also low. Most of them are ready-made at home, with almost no additional burden. But its shortcomings are also obvious, and the fault tolerance rate is low. I have seen people believe in the white vinegar facial cleansing and whitening folk remedy before, which thins the stratum corneum and turns it into sensitive skin. In fact, the gain outweighs the gain. This is also the core reason why many people complain that natural beauty is an IQ tax - it is not that the method is useless, but they have not chosen the right one that suits them, and they have not grasped the safety level.

As for the effect, it is actually far more than just nourishing the skin. Take me for example. After persisting for so many years, not only is my skin more stable than my peers and I rarely break out from acne or allergies, my mental state is also much better. I don’t get tired and turn yellow all the time. It is a conditioner from the inside out, which is incomparable to many artificial beauty methods.
