1, TCM beauty theory
First, the relationship between the five internal organs and beauty
(1) The physiological function of the heart is to govern the blood vessels, the spirit, the internal context and the tongue. The color of the face reflects the ups and downs of the heart and blood. Full of qi and blood in your heart can make your face rosy and shiny. Lack of heart-qi will inevitably lead to lack of heart-blood and pulse condition, and the complexion will be empty and white, and the description will be withered and dull. Blood is disgraceful, blood circulation is not smooth, and when it is serious, the face is blue.
(2) The physiological function of the lung is to control the breathing of qi, promote the decline of hair, integrate the skin in the body, and enlighten the nose. The lung transports qi, blood and body fluid to the skin capillaries through the function of promoting hair circulation, which plays a role in nourishing and regulating the opening and closing of sweat pores, regulating normal body temperature and resisting exogenous pathogens. "The kidney is the soil of the lungs, and its flowers are in full bloom". If the lung is full of qi, the fur will be moist, the sweat pores will open and close normally, and the body temperature will be moderate, which will not be invaded by external evils and will not easily lead to skin health problems.
(3) The physiological function of the spleen is to transport and transform blood circulation, so that the body and skin can be integrated, and the mouth can be enlightened and the glory can be seen in the lips. The nutrition of the whole body muscle and skin depends on the transportation of the spleen and is supported by biochemical nutrients. If you have a healthy temper, you will have a strong body, rosy lips and elastic skin. Unbalanced temper, flabby skin, weakness of limbs, deficiency of qi and blood, pale and dull lips.
(4) The physiological function of the liver is to store blood, strengthen tendons in the body and improve eyesight. The liver is also responsible for the discharge of toxins, which can eliminate toxins from the body. If the liver blood is full, the eyes will be bright and the skin color will be rosy. If the liver is deficient in liver blood, the eyes will be dry, the vision will be unclear, the skin color will be blue, and the face will be dull.
(5) The physiological functions of the kidney are storing essence, controlling water, combining internal bones, opening ears and nourishing yin. Bone is the scaffold of human body, and the growth, development and repair of human bones depend on the nourishment of kidney essence. Sufficient kidney essence, strong bones, light and strong limbs and quick action. If the kidney essence is insufficient, the bones are underdeveloped or fragile, flaccid and weak, and the hands and feet are weak. Human hair is the appearance of kidney, because kidney essence can transform blood, hair is nourished by essence blood, and if kidney essence is sufficient, hair will be lush and black. Deficiency of kidney essence, dry, thin, white and shedding hair. "Essence is the material basis of God, and God is the expression of essence." People with sufficient kidney essence are full of energy.
Second, the relationship between meridians and beauty
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians are channels that run the whole body's qi and blood, connect the viscera and limbs, and communicate with the upper, lower and inner parts. Meridian is located between muscles, which is deep and insufficient. Collaterals float on the muscle surface and network the whole body, connecting all organs, organs, orifices, meat, bones and other tissues of the human body into a unity. Meridian theory is not only the theoretical basis of acupuncture beauty, qigong beauty, scraping, cupping, massage, massage and other beauty projects, but also of great significance to guiding beauty practice. Meridian has two functions in beauty.
(1) Meridian has the functions of activating qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, and nourishing the whole body skin. Because meridians can transport and distribute nutrients to the muscle surface of the whole body, and ensure the normal functional activities of muscles, skin, hair and other tissues.
(2) Meridians can connect the viscera with the body surface, and connect the organs and tissues of all parts of the human body into an organic whole, thus resisting exogenous pathogens and protecting the body surface.
Third, the relationship between qi and blood and beauty
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the qi of human body is produced by the comprehensive action of lung, spleen and stomach, kidney and other organs. , combined with the innate essence from parents, the nutrition of Shui Gu essence in diet, and the clear gas existing in nature. Qi is the most basic substance to maintain human life activities. For beauty, the function of qi mainly has the following points:
(1) Promote and stimulate the physiological activities of various tissues. In particular, qi promotes blood circulation in blood vessels and plays a major role in nourishing face, eyes and hair. Without the promotion of qi, the blood can't run, the hair will be burnt, the eyes can't see, there will be spots on the face, and the whole body will be tired and weak.
(2) Qi is the source of human body heat, especially liquid substances such as blood and body fluid, and the normal circulation depends on the warmth of Qi. The movement of qi can produce various changes, such as the rejuvenation of qi, essence, blood and body fluid and their mutual transformation.
③ Blood is one of the main substances to maintain human life activities. Food and drinks ingested by human body are digested and absorbed by the spleen and stomach, producing nutrient gases and body fluids. Nutrient gas is transformed into blood through the function of internal organs, and blood can nourish and moisten the whole body. Blood runs in blood vessels, from the inside to the viscera and from the outside to the epidermis, constantly supplementing nutrition, moistening viscera and maintaining normal physiological functions. Full of qi and blood, manifested as rosy complexion, plump and firm muscles, moist skin and hair, etc. The relationship between qi and blood is very close, and the transformation, operation, nutrition and moistening of blood can only be accomplished by the rising, warming and gasification of iron gas. In many theories, the practical methods of beauty are described, often called qi and blood, which are also used to treat beauty diseases.
(4) Qi can protect the muscle surface and prevent foreign pathogens from invading.
Fourth, factors affecting appearance
There are many factors that affect appearance, but they can be summarized into two categories: internal factors and external factors. Internal causes mainly include deficiency of viscera, loss of qi and blood, food damage, disorder of seven emotions, phlegm and blood stasis, etc. The external causes mainly include the invasion of six evils and accidental injuries. These factors can damage people's faces alone or in combination.
1, internal cause
(1), Kidney deficiency: Kidney qi plays a very important role in the process of birth, growth, strength and aging. The reason of aging lies in the deficiency of kidney qi, which will lead to skin wrinkles, loose teeth, deafness, blurred vision and senile plaques on the skin. However, there are two situations: kidney deficiency and decreased appearance. One is that kidney deficiency is high in years and naturally declines; One is premature aging, and the former can only slow down the aging process in many ways. The latter can be treated by drugs and beauty care, and youth can be restored as long as it is properly nursed back to health.
(2) Deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach: Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and have the functions of transporting and transforming Shui Gu, distributing subtly to irrigate meridians, nourishing the internal organs and muscles and fur. It is the supply bank of substances needed for human growth and development to sustain life. Weak spleen and stomach can lead to sallow complexion, emaciation and even premature aging.
(3) Deficiency of qi and blood: both qi and blood are the material basis for maintaining human life activities, and people with sufficient qi and blood will live a long and healthy life. Chinese medicine believes that essence makes the skin rosy and essence makes the skin shiny. Deficiency of qi and blood leads to malnutrition, sallow or pale skin. In addition, poor qi and blood circulation, qi stagnation and blood stasis can also lead to physical aging. Long-term blood stasis leads to rough skin, dull complexion, petechiae and spots.
(4) Body fluid imbalance: Body fluid refers to normal body fluid, which has the physiological function of moistening and nourishing. If the metabolism of body fluid is disordered, resulting in skin body fluid deficiency, fur can lose moisture and nutrients, resulting in dry skin, wrinkles, hair withering, hair loss and other phenomena, which seriously affect human beauty.
(5) Damage caused by diet: Diet provides people with the necessary source and is the basis for maintaining and promoting beautiful appearance and appearance. If you are abnormally hungry or eat unclean food, it will cause diseases that hinder beauty. Overeating greasy, sweet, spicy and roasted products is easy to produce internal heat and cause seborrheic dermatitis and other skin diseases. Eating too much can also lead to obesity, insufficient food intake or partial eclipse, leading to deficiency of qi and blood, malnutrition, emaciation and dull complexion. If you eat rotten fish or allergic food or toxic drugs by mistake, it will often lead to skin and limb allergies and life-threatening. In addition, eating unclean raw salty food will lead to parasitic diseases, and skin spots and yellowing may also occur.
(6) Moderate labor exercise and reasonable rest, regular diet and daily life, and harmonious sexual life of husband and wife play an important role in keeping skin soft and preventing premature aging, but disorder of work and rest will affect health and lead to premature aging. Overwork can lead to physical fatigue and emaciation; Excessive comfort will make qi and blood run poorly, leading to stiff body and weak limbs. In addition, excessive consumption of essence and kidney deficiency will accelerate human aging.
(7) The changes of seven emotions are mostly expressed through facial expressions. Strong emotional stimulation will cause dysfunction of human viscera, imbalance of yin and yang, and produce diseases, which will affect the beauty of face and body for a long time. The disorder of joy, anger, sadness and joy will lead to emaciation and premature aging. Modern medical research has also confirmed that wrinkles can be caused by long-term muscle spasm, and excessive mental stress will destroy the function of the central nervous system and lead to premature aging.
2. External factors
People who live in the natural environment will inevitably be attacked by many external factors, some of which will damage their health and cause patients, while others will hinder gfd. Among the external factors that affect beauty, wind, fire, humidity, dryness, cold and summer heat are the most common.
(1), "Wind is the root of all evils", Chinese medicine believes that wind is frivolous and easy to invade the head, face and muscle surface, so colds enter the collaterals and have a great influence on appearance. Wind and heat can cause acne and wart blisters on the muscle surface. Rheumatic fever is toxic to the skin, causing various tinea corporis or stagnation of liver qi. The common cold can cause pigmentation on the face and skin.
(2) Fire is yang evil, and its nature is inflammatory, so the pathogenic part is mostly in the head and face. Fire pathogens are often divided into real fire and virtual fire. Excessive internal heat can cause acne, pigmentation, toothache and facial swelling. Deficiency fire can cause facial flushing, or facial black spots, premature gray hair, alopecia and other cosmetic diseases.
(3) Dampness is yin evil, which is heavy, turbid and sticky, and it is difficult to drive away the injury to the muscle carbuncle, and it is easy to accumulate into heat, resulting in damp heat, leading to various skin diseases. Eczema, dermatitis and miliaria are all related to dampness.
(4) Dry and astringent, easy to hurt body fluids, and dryness in autumn is mostly caused by external dryness; Disorder of viscera, deficiency of body fluid, deficiency of qi and blood, rough and moist skin, mostly internal dryness.
(5) Cold is yin evil, which is easy to hurt Yang Qi and has stagnation. Therefore, cold pathogen can cause cold pain in the skin, pale or blue skin, stiff contracture of tendons and veins, and joint pain.
(6) It is hot in summer, which hurts yin and consumes gas. It is a seasonal venereal disease, and it is easy to get sunburned by summer heat. In addition, accidental injuries, such as burns, burns, chemical injuries, knife and axe injuries, weapons injuries, insect and animal bites, etc. May cause facial or physical injury. Most of these injuries will cause scars, pigmentation, deformities and so on. , seriously affecting the appearance. Some injuries can't be cured by traditional Chinese medicine cosmetic methods, and they need surgical cosmetic surgery.
Five, the role of traditional Chinese medicine beauty
Beauty of traditional Chinese medicine, whether it is dietotherapy beauty of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage, qigong beauty, all achieve the purpose of beauty by nourishing five internal organs, nourishing qi and blood, dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, clearing away heat and toxic materials, reducing swelling and resolving stagnation, eliminating dampness and relieving itching, moistening skin and whitening, reducing wrinkles and removing spots. This is the beauty principle of traditional Chinese medicine.
(1) nourishes the five internal organs, namely, heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. The viscera, nine orifices, limbs, bones and muscles, and fur of the human body are all organic whole centered on the five internal organs. The rise and fall of qi and blood in the five zang-organs is directly related to the rise and fall of the face. The five zang-organs reach the epidermis through the transport of meridians, Yang Qi, Yin blood and body fluid, nourish and nourish the skin, and resist the invasion of external evils, thus keeping the face moist and not withered. Qi and blood are one of the most basic substances to maintain life activities. Qi and blood play a role in warming, defending, nourishing and moistening human tissues, thus maintaining the normal physiological functions of various organs. It can be said that the five internal organs are strong, which is the guarantee of overall beauty and the material basis of overall beauty. Therefore, Chinese cosmetology attaches great importance to the role of qi and blood in cosmetology. By nourishing the five internal organs and qi and blood, the body is strong, the complexion is rosy and lively, the muscles are full, the skin and hair are moist and the youth is lasting.
(2) dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Various nutrients needed by the human body run from the meridian system to all parts of the body. Meridian is widely distributed in human body, and it is a channel that runs the whole body's qi and blood, connects the viscera and limbs, and communicates the upper, lower and inner parts. If the channels and collaterals are blocked, the blood circulation is not smooth, and the skin and fur are not nourished, skin diseases may occur, thus affecting beauty, such as acne, freckles, chloasma, scars, etc., all of which are related to disharmony between qi and blood, blood stasis and yin stagnation. Therefore, in the cosmetic method of traditional Chinese medicine, the principles of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should be followed in order to obtain better cosmetic effect.
(3) Strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil, clearing away heat and toxic materials. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fur and face are most closely related to the outside world, and exogenous pathogens invade the human body first, and exogenous pathogens promote "six evils" first. Among the six evils, common cold and heat pathogens are the most harmful to beauty. They are easy to poison people's blood and make it hot, which leads to many disfigured diseases. Therefore, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors, and clearing away heat and toxic materials are another important principle of TCM beauty.
(4) Eliminating swelling and stagnation, eliminating dampness and relieving itching. Some cosmetic diseases, such as acne, rosacea, etc., are mostly caused by wind, heat and humidity, and often appear local redness and itching, which is sometimes heavy and sometimes light and lingering. Therefore, drugs such as Fructus Cnidii, Prunellae Spica, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae, Kochia scoparia, etc. Should be properly supplemented, as well as roses, honeysuckle and so on. Usually used for external cleaning.
(5) beauty, anti-wrinkle, whitening and freckle removal. Fair-skinned, ruddy, shiny and elastic, it is not only a feature of bodybuilding and loveliness, but also a person's charm. In addition to nourishing qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, traditional Chinese medicine cosmetology often adds drugs that directly nourish skin, whiten skin, remove spots and wrinkle, such as aloe, poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, bletilla striata and so on.
The above is the basic theory of Chinese medicine beauty, the guide to green beauty, and the relevant beauty knowledge that beauticians and beauty practitioners must master. Green beauty follows the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and borrows the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials from pure natural plants and the essence nutrition of skin. This paper puts forward a new theory of health and beauty with detoxification, nourishing health and nourishing beauty, and explores the methods of detoxification and beauty on the basis of practice. Pai: it is to open the skin detoxification pipeline, clear away heat and toxic materials, and eliminate toxins accumulated in the skin. Nourishing: The skin is nourished and hydrated by soaking in water. Its core is to supplement water and nutrition on the basis of detoxification, and to detoxify on the basis of supplementing water and nutrition. The two are an organic whole. Green Beauty uses natural plants for skin care and hair care, many of which are selected beauty formulas from ancient dynasties. Most of the drugs screened in Chinese Medical Code directly nourish the skin, whiten the face, resist skin aging and remove wrinkles. There are also remedies for dredging meridians, reducing swelling and dissipating stagnation, eliminating dampness and relieving itching, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. Using the unique natural means of "water extract of flowers and plants, direct skin care and hair care", we can provide consumers with harmless green beauty care, so that customers' skin is white and moist, their faces are bright and clean, and their hair is elegant, reaching a new realm of health and beauty.
2, skin moisturizing tips
Tip 1。 Replenish water at any time to drink a good muscle bottom.
The human body is 70% water, so girls must know how important it is to drink water! Our Qiao Mei once said that the reason why she can keep her skin so tender is that no matter how busy she is, she will drink more than two liters of water all day, especially during the transition period when the weather is dry or the seasons change. In addition to directly supplementing the water needed by the skin, the skin condition will be more stable after drinking enough water! So girls who love beauty, shouldn't it be time to pick up the cup and pour a glass of water?
Tip 2. It is convenient to spray water.
Meng Zhisong Ji Xiao, who often appears in Runningman without makeup, seems to be the moisturizing spray on her hand! (Laughter) It cannot be ignored that Song Ji Hyo's skin is still moist, tender and shiny, even though it is dull. Therefore, if girls can't carry out moisturizing procedures at night, it is better to prepare a can of moisturizing spray with them in daily life, and spray it twice when you think of it, which will help to moisturize!
Tip3。 Toner is still necessary.
Moisturizing lotion cleans the skin again and moisturizes immediately. At present, there are many thick and essential lotions with more beauty ingredients, which can directly and quickly moisturize the skin and help to improve the subsequent maintenance and absorption. Suggest quenching thirst for skin immediately, or don't forget to use lotion!
Tip4。 Oily skin still needs moisturizing.
Oily skin often thinks that it can be lost by rubbing lotion, but it often makes the oil output more serious, which is the compensatory oil output caused by dry skin. It is recommended to choose skin care products containing hyaluronic acid to help the skin catch a lot of water, and also to prolong the moisturizing time and make the skin more tender.
Tip5。 Not only replenish water, but also lock water with moisturizing cream.
Finally, the most important small step! That is to choose a super-saturated moisturizing cream! Like lotion, as long as you pat your face at will and test it with a skin tester, you can find the difference in moisture retention before and after using lotion. However, after 30 minutes, you will find that after testing with the skin tester, the moist feeling of the skin disappears. At this time, remember to use cream-like and cream-like products and lock them up to keep the skin moist.
