    The core functions of natural beauty techniques are concentrated in three directions: low-irritation soothing and repairing, long-term skin conditioning, and internal and external nourishment to improve complexion. Compared with functional skin care products and medical beauty, its advantages are mildness and low trial and error cost, but the upper limit of the effect is not high and the adaptability is also obvious.

    To be honest, when I first started using it, I thought it was just a traditional method passed down from my elders. It wasn’t until a few years ago that the acid barrier was damaged. My face became red and hot when I blew the cold wind. Even applying more than 200 jars of repair creams stung. I tried refrigerated chamomile hydrosol soaked in a biodegradable tissue film. It only took 5 minutes each time and was removed. After applying it for three days, most of the redness was gone, and it didn’t feel so hot anymore. However, this effect is really like honey and arsenic. My best friend also has sensitive skin, but is allergic to Asteraceae plants. After I applied it once, she developed a small rash the next day, which took about a week to heal. Nowadays, many people on the Internet criticize hydrosols as an IQ tax. In fact, most of them blindly follow the trend without knowing their own body and skin types.

    This kind of instant soothing is only the most basic effect of natural beauty. What you can feel after a long time is the strength of the underlying skin. My mother is almost 60 this year. She has been washing her face with the second clarification liquid of rice water every day for almost ten years. In the winter when it is too cold, she mixes it with a little warm water. After washing, she rinses with running water. Her face now does not have the thin cuticle transparency that people who use acid and high-efficiency products all year round have. Her skin is very firm. She is rarely allergic to redness during the change of spring and autumn. Her nasolabial folds are lighter than those of aunts of the same age who go to beauty salons for care every week. But this method is also really tricky. I used Amway to give it to my cousin who has oily skin. He found it troublesome and didn’t rinse with water after washing. After a week, he felt stuffy and closed on his forehead. I went to see a dermatologist and he said that it was the starch residue in the rice water that blocked the pores. People who have a lot of oil themselves could not use it properly and it would burden the skin.

    What many people tend to overlook is that many natural beauty techniques are attuned to both internal and external aspects, and their effects are not just superficial. Last year, I started brewing 3 sulfur-free dried roses and 5 wolfberry berries every day, without adding sugar or anything else. After drinking it for half a year, the two aunt acne that I always had before visiting my aunt have basically disappeared. When I wake up in the morning, my face will not be as sallow as before. I don’t need to apply special brightening isolation to have a natural good complexion. But I have to be honest, the effect of this kind of internal adjustment is very limited. Another friend of mine has a hot constitution that is prone to getting angry. After drinking it for half a month, she developed several ulcers on the corners of her mouth. She went to see a Chinese medicine doctor and said that she was not suitable for drinking rose wolfberry tonic. Moreover, nutrition friends also said that the active ingredients of these natural ingredients are very low. If you expect that drinking scented tea for a few months will fade away the chloasma that has been on your face for five or six years, it is better to go for photorejuvenation directly.

    In fact, to put it bluntly, natural beauty is to provide "light care" for the skin and body, just like eating home-cooked food every day, without concentrated functional ingredients. The advantage is that the burden is small, and you find the right method to adapt to yourself. The long-term changes that can be sustained over a long period of time are something that many powerful pharmaceutical products cannot provide. However, if you try it with the idea of a quick effect of eliminating acne in three days and whitening in a week, you will most likely think it is a useless IQ tax.
