Everyone has a love of beauty.
On the way to pursue beauty, women, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, are the same. They will never give up until they reach their goals. When scientific knowledge is not developed, how wild can everyone’s skin care approach be?
Know how happy it is to be born in modern times.
Washing your face with pig pancreas is too heavy for your mouth.
Soap, also known as “pancreas”, is not really called for nothing. The earliest soap was made of pig pancreas.
In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao’s < < Prepare Urgent Thousand Gold Essentials > > recorded that pig pancreas made bathing beans, [bathing bean recipe: Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Dictamnus dichlorum bark…, pig pancreas mixed evenly and smashed even. It is commonly used every day and washes hands with serous water, which is very good].
The person who invented [bathing bean] must be a person with clear brain and extremely intelligent. Digestive enzymes in pig pancreas and lecithin in soybean powder are effectively fused, with strong washing ability and moisturizing skin. It was a very high-quality detergent at that time.
Although there are many benefits, do you dare to wash your face with your pancreas?
Today, we can choose various facial cleansers such as soap base and amino acid according to different needs to meet the cleaning needs while keeping the skin moist and smooth.
The magic [pancreatic son] has long been a history that condenses the wisdom of predecessors.
Eagle Baba Apply Face to Touch Fine Line
Ancient women also loved to apply facial masks in order to remove wrinkles. Due to the relative lack of material and technology, there are all kinds of strange folk remedies.
According to records, Empress Dowager Cixi’s secret facial mask [Yurong Powder] was made with eagle stripe white as the raw material, which in colloquialism is the excrement of eagles.
Although it sounds strange to paste the face, it is said that this mask has a good effect and is loved by Empress Dowager Cixi all her life.
Now it is not necessary to make such exotic efforts to prevent skin aging. If rich girl like Empress Dowager Cixi was born in modern times, she can try all the antioxidant ingredients that have been clinically proved to be effective, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, anthocyanin, resveratrol, etc.
Take vitamin C, which is widely used, as an example. It has strong antioxidant property, can reduce melanin production, and has the effects of brightening skin color and improving skin condition.
However, another characteristic of vitamin C is that it is not very stable and will lose its activity when exposed to sunlight and oxygen. It is difficult for pure vitamin C to exist in the formula of skin care products.
Therefore, many new forms of vitamin C storage have emerged in the past two years, such as vitamin C freeze-dried powder or ampoules.
For example, there are still single-piece packaged vitamin C water-soluble tablets on the market. A thin one can contain rich vitamin C essence. When in use, water is added to dissolve to form a high-concentration vitamin C aqueous solution.
The packaging of such vitamin C water-soluble tablets not only has strong light shielding and good sealing performance, but also can better maintain the activity of vitamin C to a certain extent, and has almost no what weight and is very portable.
It is true that all the lead has been washed away.
The Queen’s [pale] makeup is a symbol of status and leads the trend of the times. At that time, nobles and celebrities followed suit.
Long-term application of such powder will induce various health problems: ulceration of skin and oral mucosa, dyeing of teeth, face damage, even damage to the central nervous system, and even death of some people.
Heavy mouth whitening with lead powder works quickly but is life-threatening. However, there are many safe and effective whitening ingredients nowadays. Of course, whitening no longer needs to be at the expense of health.
You can choose nicotinamide, trans-sulfuric acid, arbutin and other ingredients. As long as the concentration is appropriate and the use is appropriate, it has certain inhibitory effect on melanin (of course, daily sun protection is also crucial).
[Blush] Poisonous
In addition to the magical external beauty treatment, there are also immortal folk remedies for internal beauty treatment, of which [Wushi Powder] is one.
According to this record in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, [taking Wushi Powder is not only to cure diseases, but also to feel bright and cheerful]. That is, after taking this magical drug, qi and blood surge up, complexion is ruddy, and thinking is especially active. It was especially popular in those days. However, [Wushi Powder] is dry and hot in nature, so it should not be taken more, otherwise it may be in danger of life.
Unfortunately, some celebrities who lack medical knowledge are addicted to [drugs] and cannot extricate themselves, and many people have died for this.
It turns out that in ancient times, it was [blush was poisonous]. People paid too much for their good looks. In modern times, we have all kinds of blush, highlights, different colors, and are really happy.
A pearly facial massager
< < Biography of Zhen Huan > > Empress Hua always rolls around her face with jade rollers, massaging facial acupuncture points to stimulate blood circulation.
Jade wheel is beautiful, but gaudy, convalescent effect cannot stimulate collagen regeneration, delay aging effect is very little. Now, we can choose medical beauty means to delay aging, such as laser or radio frequency, can penetrate the epidermis to reach deep skin, start the regeneration of collagen.
Other medical and beauty programs such as water needle injection and line carving can also make qualitative changes to the skin in a short period of time. There is no need to kill time with slow jade massage therapy.
Speaking of which, we can only lament that the development of modern science and technology has made the love of beauty safe and effective without paying a terrible price. As a modern beauty lover, I feel very happy and proud.
