What are the natural beauty techniques?

The core of natural beauty techniques covers three general directions: external use of natural raw materials, internal nourishment, and adjustment of daily behavior habits. There are not as many fancy gimmicks as everyone thinks. If you use the right ones, you will get stable results and avoid pitfalls.

A while ago, a sister with dry and sensitive skin followed the trend of "natural skin care" and directly applied lemon slices freshly cut from the kitchen to her face. She also applied a thick layer of undiluted honey. Her face became red and hot that day, and she even had blisters. She needed to see a dermatologist. This is also the most controversial part of natural beauty right now: one group believes that natural raw materials without additives are safer than chemical skin care products, while the other group thinks that unpurified natural raw materials have many impurities and the concentration of active ingredients is uncontrollable, which is a complete IQ tax. In fact, both statements are reasonable. When my face is prone to redness and itchiness during the change of seasons from spring to summer, I will use pharmaceutical-grade sterile packaged chamomile hydrosol soaking paper mask, put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and then apply it for 5 minutes. The redness and soothing effect is more stable than many functional masks I bought. But the premise is to choose regular products that have been sterilized and have no additional additives, and directly apply ingredients from the kitchen to the face. People with thin skin barriers are prone to problems.

Compared with external products, what many people ignore in natural beauty is the role of dietary supplements. There is also a lot of controversy in this area. Some people think that dietary supplements are too inefficient and it is better to take vitamin supplements directly. My face used to be sallow due to staying up late for a long time, and I always had acne during my period. When I went to see a Chinese medicine doctor, I was not prescribed any expensive supplements. I was told to boil 3 slices of astragalus and 10 pitted red dates in boiled water every morning, and avoid ice drinks and high-sugar milk tea. I persisted for more than two months. Now when I go out without makeup, my colleagues ask me if I secretly do photorejuvenation. Of course, this does not mean that supplements are useless. If you are deficient in specific vitamins, taking supplements directly will indeed have faster results. However, the nutritional supplements are gentle enough, so you don’t have to worry about problems if you take too much. For example, if you eat two kilograms of oranges a day, your skin will at most turn yellow temporarily. If you take too much vitamin A, you may be poisoned.

There are also some natural beauty techniques that cost absolutely nothing and are hidden in small daily habits. My mother is 54 this year, and the fine lines on her face are less than half that of her peers. She has not used too many expensive skin care products. She has insisted on wearing a wide-brimmed hat when going out for decades, and tries not to run outside when the sun is strong at noon. Applying enough sunscreen is more effective than applying any amount of sunscreen. Of course, some people say that their skin is not bad after staying up all night and being exposed to the sun every day. This kind of innate constitution does exist, but most ordinary people cannot be fooled by the bloating and dullness after staying up all night. There is no need to use an example to draw a general rule.

To put it bluntly, natural beauty does not have so many mysterious details. The core is to follow your own skin type and constitution. Don't blindly follow the trend and try strange folk remedies. Slow is a little slow, but it is better to be safe. The good complexion you cultivate cannot be covered by foundation that floats on the surface.
