What are some natural beauty tips?

At present, natural beauty techniques that have been tested by a large number of ordinary people and have relatively low risks are basically concentrated in the directions of mild care, food supplement conditioning, and physical protection based on daily ingredients. The rate of failure is much lower than the various partial recipes spread online.

Don’t look at the many people on the Internet who complain that natural beauty is an IQ tax. In fact, it really depends on the usage and skin type. Take the most common fresh ingredients applied to the face. In the past two years, I followed the trend and directly applied fresh lemon slices to whiten my face. After applying it twice, my face burned. I went to the hospital to check for contact dermatitis. The doctor said that the pH value of fresh lemon is too low. Applying it directly to the face without dilution will completely destroy the barrier in disguise. , but they are also fresh-cut ingredients. When my cheeks get hot from the sun while practicing driving in the summer, I apply thinly sliced cucumber slices at room temperature for 5 minutes. When I peel them off, most of the redness has subsided. The coolness is better than many soothing masks that cost dozens of dollars a piece. As long as you wash it off with warm water immediately after applying it and don't expose it directly to the sun, I have used it for two or three years without any problems. Oh, yes, there is also Aloe Vera. I have two pots of Aloe Vera at home. Every time after being exposed to the sun or when I have a small opening on my face, I would scrape some transparent gel in the middle and apply it thinly for 15 minutes. After washing it, my face would feel soft and the redness reduction effect is particularly obvious. However, my best friend has severely sensitive skin and she developed a small rash the first time she applied it directly. Later, she mixed the gel with mineral water and soaked it in a paper mask, so she dared to use it once in a while. To put it bluntly, she just used the new one. Applying fresh ingredients to the face is like opening a blind box. If your skin is tolerant, you will find a treasure. If you are not intolerant, it is really easy to get into trouble. The same goes for the rice water used by the older generation to wash your face. My mother has used it for decades, and now she is over 60, and her face is fairer and more delicate than mine. I have mixed oily skin and developed a bunch of clefts after trying it twice. Later I learned that there is residual starch in unfermented rice water, which can easily clog pores. It may be fine for dry skin, but I really need to be careful with oily skin.

Compared with the skin-specific methods of applying it on the face, the conditioning formula taken is more universally applicable, but it is not as good as what is said on the Internet. I used to think that drinking Tremella soup to replenish collagen was an IQ tax. Later, I followed my mother and drank it two or three times a week. After drinking it for more than half a year, the problem of skin stagnation in winter was mostly improved. After doing some research, I found out that although the plant polysaccharides in Tremella cannot directly replenish collagen, it can help the body lock in moisture. Drinking it is better than drinking a lot of sweet milk tea. It’s so good for the skin. My colleague has been eating a small tomato every day for almost a year. Last time we went to the beach together, she got tanned in half a month, which is twice as fast as us. However, there are also friends who have eaten tomatoes for half a year without any change. The absorption situation is different, so the effect is naturally different.

Oh, by the way, many people have overlooked that the most worry-free and least controversial natural beauty technique is actually hard sunscreen. I always suffered from acne when I applied sunscreen. Then I always wore a wide-brimmed hat and a black umbrella when going out in the summer. I also tried not to hang out in the sun at noon in the spring and autumn. Not only did I not get tanned much over the past year, but the small dry lines at the corners of my eyes have faded a bit. After all, ultraviolet rays are the biggest culprit of skin aging. This is recognized by all dermatologists. It costs nothing and has no side effects. It is more effective than applying any number of facial masks.

In fact, there is no standard answer to natural beauty, and no prescription is suitable for everyone. Before trying a new method, it is best to test the sensitivity behind the ears. Don’t blindly follow the trend and mess around, which will damage your good skin and cause more harm than good.
