What are the contents and methods of natural beauty techniques?

In fact, the natural beauty that everyone is pursuing now essentially does not rely on industrially synthesized high-concentration functional ingredients or invasive medical beauty methods. It improves the skin and body condition from three core dimensions: external use of raw materials, dietary and internal adjustments, and adjustment of work and rest behavior. Several friends around me who have sensitive skin due to functional skin care products have tried it for more than half a year. The general feedback is that the skin stability is much better than when they frequently switch to big-name skin care products.

External use is the field that everyone is most familiar with and the easiest to get into trouble. I went downstairs to pick up the express a while ago, and I saw Aunt Zhang on the first floor picking aloe vera grown on her balcony, peeling it off and rubbing it directly on her face. She has naturally dry skin. After using it for three or four years, she said it was more moisturizing than a moisturizing cream worth hundreds of dollars, and she didn’t even get cracked in winter. But my cousin watched a tutorial from an internet celebrity and followed it. After just one application, her whole face became red and itchy. When she went to the dermatology department at the hospital, the doctor said that the emodin in fresh aloe vera has not been purified and desensitized, and is extremely irritating to people with damaged barriers. Similar remedies include directly applying lemon slices to whiten the skin, and using raw egg white on the face to close pores. The irritating ingredients and allergens in unprocessed natural raw materials are not removed, but can easily cause additional burden on the skin. Of course, there are many small methods that have been verified by many people to be really useful. My best friend with oily hair tried washing her hair with precipitated fermented rice water for three months. She said that the dryness of the ends of the hair has improved a lot, and the oil on the scalp has also slowed down a lot. She used to have to wash her hair every day. She washes her hair every two days and it doesn't feel crumbly now. The principle is actually simple. The B vitamins and tiny starch particles in the rice water can not only nourish the hair cuticles, but also gently absorb excess oil from the scalp. It is kinder to her scalp than many shampoos containing strong detergents.

Compared with tossing various materials on the face, internal adjustment is actually the core of "slow beauty" that many people ignore. My mother is 58 years old and has half as many spots on her face as her aunts of the same age. She has been drinking half a cup of warm lemon water with half a spoonful of honey every morning on an empty stomach for more than 20 years, and eating three red dates every day. Now there are people on the Internet who say that the sugar in honey and lemons can cause glycation of the skin. However, my mother’s daily sugar intake is less than one-third of half a cup of milk tea. There is no need to worry. The recently popular Sanbai Decoction for internal whitening is not groundless. The combination of white peony root, atractylodes, white tuckahoe and licorice is indeed recorded in ancient medical books. It can regulate qi and blood and improve yellow complexion, but it is not suitable for everyone. My colleague has a damp-heat constitution. After drinking it for a week, he suffered from bloating and loss of appetite. After checking his pulse with a Chinese doctor, he found out that this prescription is too warm and is not suitable for people with severe damp-heat. Before drinking it, it is best to find a professional doctor to identify the constitution before trying it. Don’t blindly follow the trend.

To be honest, many people are trying their best to find various natural remedies, but they ignore that the most cost-free natural beauty method is to adjust their work schedule and daily habits. Last month, I stayed up for eight days working on a project. My face turned as yellow as a three-day-old tangerine. I applied three boxes of whitening masks but couldn't save it. Later, I forced myself to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day and slept for seven full days. When I went to work without makeup, my colleagues asked me if I had secretly done photorejuvenation. My skin became naturally translucent when my blood flow increased. This effect is really more effective than any external prescription. In addition, physical sun protection should be done when going out. Using a parasol, wearing a sun hat and a mask is safer than applying multiple layers of sunscreen and will not cause acne. It is recognized as the lowest-cost anti-aging method.

Nowadays, the evaluation of natural beauty products on the Internet is quite polarized. One group says that all natural products are IQ tax and cannot compare with the functional ingredients developed in laboratories. The other group says that all industrial skin care products contain harmful additives and natural ones are the best. In fact, both opinions are too extreme. Natural beauty is more suitable as a supplement to daily skin care. It pursues low-burden long-term conditioning. If you really have pathological skin problems such as acne and chloasma, you still have to go to the hospital to see a dermatologist as soon as possible. Don’t expect that applying a cucumber slice will solve the problem.
