Everyone should know that Empress Dowager Cixi is a very capable woman, holding power and being the actual ruler in the late Qing Dynasty. What is interesting about her is that she has a unique beauty prescription. There is a saying that everyone has a love of beauty. Empress Dowager Cixi, who is in power, is a woman anyway. If she were a woman, she would love beauty. This is the most normal thing. We know that there were not so many cosmetics and skin care products in ancient times, only lipstick and blush at most, but Cixi herself also had her own methods to maintain her skin. Next, let's talk about four beauty recipes of Empress Dowager Cixi.
The first kind is tremella, also called tremella. Tremella is very common, not a high-grade nutrient, but it is rich in protein, fat and amino acids needed by human body. Tremella is one of the best fungi, which is very beneficial to human body. Tremella fuciformis has many functions, not only helping to detoxify, but also losing weight, especially in beauty beauty. Long-term use of tremella, in which the colloid can effectively remove spots and dark yellow face, can moisturize the skin, much more useful than some big-name skin care products. After Cixi discovered this natural skin care product, she often asked the chef to make tremella soup for her as a supplement to drink every day, so Cixi's skin condition was still very good after she got old.
The second method is to soak your hands. Soaking hands is actually the same as soaking feet. Soaking your hands often can promote blood circulation and is very good for your health. Cixi is maintained in this way. She first ordered the maid-in-waiting to wrap her hand in a towel, and then put the hand wrapped in a towel into a basin filled with warm water, so she kept soaking in the water until the water temperature slowly dropped and turned into cold water. Cixi pays great attention to these things. She soaks in her hands every day, and she will feel refreshed when she soaks in someone. The third way is hot compress, which is the secret for Cixi to make her face full of vitality forever. Modern people may have used this method, which is to fill the basin with hot water, then wet it with a towel and apply it to her face, which can have a good cosmetic effect. If you persist for a long time, Cixi will not see wrinkles on her face until she is very old.
The last beauty secret is to drink milk, but Cixi drinks human milk. Milk is rich in protein, which is good for the skin, but Cixi thinks that no milk is better than human milk. In order to drink fresh human milk every day, Cixi even found three wet nurses to provide human milk to Cixi every day. The maintenance of human milk is very important to Cixi. She not only drank it, but also left a part for massaging her face. It can be said that Cixi is really a woman who lives a very delicate life.
