What are the contents and methods of natural beauty techniques

Natural beauty is essentially a skin care method that relies on natural substances and the body's own regulation laws, and does not rely on synthetic medical beauty projects or powerful chemical skin care products. The core content basically revolves around the three directions of internal regulation, external nourishment, and life rhythm adjustment. However, many folk remedies circulated on the Internet are highly controversial, and the methods that can truly stand the test of practice are actually far less fancy than the marketing claims.

When I first entered the industry two years ago, I followed the trend and tried Internet celebrity methods such as applying raw potato slices to my eyes and applying fresh lemon slices to my face. I left the potato slices on for half a month to get dark circles under my eyes. I used lemon twice and my cheeks became sensitive and red. I went to the dermatology department at the hospital and found out that external application of vascular dark circles is useless. It is better to sleep for half an hour more. The concentration of organic acids in fresh lemons has not been adjusted. Applying it directly to the face will destroy the cuticle barrier. At that time, there was a little girl in the clinic who applied cucumber on her face and developed an allergic rash. The doctor said that the alkaloids and residual pesticides in these fresh fruits and vegetables have not been treated, so applying it on the face indiscriminately can cause problems.

When it comes to people around me testing useful internal adjustment methods, there is actually no threshold. Among the sisters I know who are in their forties and whose skin is still clear, none rely on expensive skin care products. Most of them maintain the habit of drinking 1.5L of warm boiled water every day, and eat high-sugar and oily foods at most once a week. One of them insists on eating a steamed tomato and half a piece of steamed pumpkin every day for three years without using whitening pills. Her skin color is two degrees brighter than people of the same age, and she rarely suffers from seasonal allergies. Of course, this part is also controversial. For example, natural collagen peptides, which have become popular in the past two years, some people say it is an IQ tax, and some people really feel that their skin is less dry after drinking it. The current consensus in the academic circle is that small molecule peptides with a molecular weight of less than 1,000 daltons can indeed be absorbed by the human body, but at most they can help increase the moisture content of the skin. It is impossible to expect to rejuvenate your face after drinking it for half a month. If you buy a flavored version with a lot of high fructose syrup, you will easily get acne.

Reliable natural methods for external use are actually simple. Every winter when my cheeks are so dry that they break out, I mix pure cold-pressed coconut oil with a little honey without any additives. Mix it well and apply it on my face for ten minutes and wash it off. The instant moisturizing effect is better than the hydrating mask I bought for more than 300 yuan a box. However, this method is only suitable for healthy dry skin. My best friend with sensitive skin tried it once, and her face was red for two days, and she also had several cleft lips. My mother has been using fermented rice water to wash her face for almost ten years. Every time she washes rice, she filters the second rice water and puts it in the refrigerator to ferment overnight. Then she mixes it with warm water to wash her face the next day. Now she is over 50 years old and has almost no sun spots on her face. However, some people also misunderstand this method. If you directly use raw rice water to wash your face, the impurities and starch in it will easily clog pores and cause closed acne.

In fact, the most cost-effective natural beauty method is the most easily overlooked adjustment to the rhythm of life. Last month, I stayed up for half a month to catch up on projects, and my face turned yellow like a pickle that had been pickled for half a month. No matter how much I applied a first-aid mask, I couldn't save it. Later, I forced myself to go to bed before 11 o'clock for a month. I always wore a hat, mask, and umbrella when going out, and used sun protection. No whitening essence was used, and my skin tone returned to its previous translucent state. Even the recurring acne on my chin was gone. There are also many people who argue about this, saying that sun exposure is good for the body to replenish vitamin D, and there is no need to cover up so tightly. In fact, photoaging caused by long-term ultraviolet rays is the main culprit of skin spots and wrinkles. If you really want to rely on sun exposure to replenish vitamin D, 10 minutes a day with your arms and legs exposed is enough. Sun protection on the face is really unavoidable. Deep spots caused by sun exposure are difficult to remove no matter how natural methods are used.

I have been practicing natural beauty for six or seven years. My biggest feeling is that you should not believe in the natural remedies of "whitening in three days" and "spot lightening in seven days". All truly effective natural methods are slow and require long-term persistence to see results. Moreover, skin types and constitutions vary from person to person. No matter how good others use the method, it may not be suitable for you. Pay more attention to the feedback of your own skin and body, which will be more effective than following the trend and buying any number of Internet celebrity products.
