What are the functions of natural beauty techniques

On the whole, the core functions of proven and reliable natural beauty techniques cover low-irritation skin conditioning, long-term skin care stability, cost control, and emotional value supply in the skin care process. Although it does not have the "face-changing" level of magical effects reported online, it has a wide range of adaptability and less subsequent skin burden.

I have a friend with dry and sensitive skin. Every spring when the catkins fly, her cheeks will become red and itchy. The functional essence will sting when applied to the face. Later, I followed a skin care blogger and learned to use refrigerated 0.9% saline to soak pure cotton mask paper. I only applied it for 3 minutes each time. After applying it for three days, most of the redness disappeared. In fact, it is not a mystery that this method is effective. The osmotic pressure of 0.9% normal saline is the same as that of human body fluids. It will not put additional burden on the damaged skin barrier. It has a soothing and calming effect. The cost is only a few cents per time. It is much more cost-effective than buying soothing essences that often cost hundreds. There is no need to worry about unnecessary additions such as fragrances and preservatives to cause acne.

However, there have always been different voices in the skin care circle regarding the boundaries of natural beauty techniques. One group believes that natural raw materials have no industrial additions and are much safer than bottled skin care products. The other group believes that the concentration and ingredients of unpurified natural raw materials are uncontrollable and are more likely to cause allergies. In fact, both sides of this statement make sense. I have seen people believe in the folk remedy of applying fresh lemon directly to the face for whitening. The high-concentration fruit acid was not diluted, and the face was red and swollen. It took half a month to recover. To put it bluntly, the people who cheat are basically trying wild prescriptions that have not been verified by the public. If you choose a method that has been repeatedly verified and has a low operating threshold, there will basically be no problems.

I often stay up late to catch up on plans, and my face is often swollen like steamed buns when I wake up the next day. I followed the trend and bought hundreds of ice packs. After using them twice, I threw them aside because they were too troublesome. Now I take half an ice cucumber from the refrigerator, cut it into thin slices and apply it for 10 minutes every morning. The effect of reducing edema is no worse than the ice pack. The natural vitamins and water in the cucumber can also replenish the face with water, and the subsequent makeup is smoother. Also, I used to have thin cuticles on my cheeks, which tended to close my mouth when the seasons changed. Now I smoke for 15 minutes every week, mix steamed warm oats with a little bit of pure honey and apply it on my face. It not only softens the old cuticles, but also relies on the beta glucan in the oats to soothe and repair them. I have persisted for half a year, and now my skin condition is very stable, and even the sensitivity during seasonal changes has been reduced a lot.

Speaking of it, there is another effect that is easily overlooked, which is that when you do these natural skin care steps yourself, you feel completely relaxed. When I have nothing to do on weekends, I like to lie on the sofa, put on an oatmeal mask while watching my favorite variety shows, and don’t have to think about work for ten minutes. This kind of emotional relief will actually be reflected in the condition of my skin, which is an unexpected gain.

Of course, don’t exaggerate the role of natural beauty techniques. If you have strong needs such as whitening and anti-wrinkle, you still have to rely on purified functional ingredients. Natural techniques can only be used as a supplement to daily skin care. If you have to rely on them to solve problems such as spots and deep lines, it will delay the opportunity for care.
