What are the contents and methods of natural beauty techniques?

The natural beauty we often talk about is essentially to avoid highly irritating synthetic ingredients and invasive medical beauty methods, and to care according to the metabolic laws of the skin and body. The core is nothing more than external nourishment, internal adjustment, and work and rest adjustment. There are not so many fantasy remedies spread on the Internet.

Many people’s misunderstanding about natural beauty is that “all natural means completely safe.” This is not true. I saw two friends trying the same freshly squeezed cucumber juice on their faces a while ago. One with mixed oil-tolerant skin felt that most of her post-sun redness was gone after applying it, while the other with sensitive skin developed a small rash after 10 minutes of application. Dermatologists say that the fruit acids and photosensitive substances in fresh fruits and vegetables have not been purified, and are a strong source of irritation for skin with weak barrier.

Natural external cultivation methods that have been proven effective in practice have actually been "risk-free". For example, I went to Dali, Yunnan last year. The local Bai aunties generally like to boil dried calendula in water and let it cool before wiping their faces. The ultraviolet rays there are strong, so they insist on using it. There are very few problems with skin peeling and spots after sun exposure. After asking about it later, I found out that the photosensitive substances in fresh marigolds can only be completely decomposed after at least a week of exposure to the sun. People who directly rub their faces with flowers are more likely to get tanned. Many people fall into this trap because they do not use the right pre-treatment methods. There is also the rice water that everyone often talks about when washing your face. You need to use the layer of clear liquid that settles after standing, and it should be warmed to close to the skin temperature before use. If you have sensitive skin, insisting on using it can regulate oil secretion and gradually brighten the skin color. But if you have dry skin or sensitive skin, don’t try it blindly, as it will destroy the sebum film.

Don’t think that internal adjustment is just about taking various expensive supplements. The most practical ones are things you can do on a daily basis. My mother has been persisting for almost 12 years. She drinks a cup of warm sugar-free Tremella lily soup every morning when she wakes up. Now she is 52 years old. The dry lines on her face have been reduced by more than half than her sisters of the same age. Her face is moist all year round. Even when she went for a skin test, the doctor said that the water content of her dermal layer is higher than that of many 30-year-old people. But some friends told me that drinking Tremella soup for two months had no effect at all. After asking me carefully, I found out that she stayed up until two or three o'clock every day and ate hot pot with heavy oil and spicy food.

In fact, the lowest-cost natural beauty method is the most easily ignored work and rest adjustment. I worked on a project for 8 days in a row, and I didn’t go to bed until after 3 o’clock every day. My face was as yellow as a layer of dust, and I also had several red and swollen acnes. I bought hundreds of first-aid essences to apply. It didn't go away for three or four days. Then I forced myself to go to bed before 11 o'clock every day for a week and didn't apply any special skin care products. The acne disappeared and my face became brighter. After all, the repair period of the skin is during deep sleep. If you don't let it work well, no matter how much you apply, it will be in vain.

Nowadays, there are two sides to the opinions on natural beauty on the Internet. One group says that it can completely replace all skin care products, and the other group says that it is all an IQ tax. In fact, there is really no need to argue about right and wrong. If you have healthy skin, you can usually use gentle natural care methods. Coupled with regular work, rest and diet, the skin can be maintained in good condition. However, if you have pathological skin problems such as acne, rosacea, and severe sensitivity, don't blindly believe in natural remedies to cure the disease. The right way is to see a dermatologist honestly. Natural beauty is a matter of "slow maintenance". It is not a magic method that can change your face in three days. Slowly understand your skin and body temperament, and you can always find the method that suits you best.
