10 Chinese beauty secrets

You may also like




Girls in China take their looks very seriously and they have rigid beauty regimes that consist of many different stages and they never skip a single one. They also have the benefit of thousands of years’ worth of beauty secrets that have been passed down through the generations. Fortunately, some of those secrets are not so secret anymore, so the whole world can share them, including us. Here are ten amazing beauty secrets that have come out of China.

1. Rice water for toning skin

The ladies of China are renowned for their beautiful, flawless skin and they have a very simple recipe for their skin toner.  They use nothing more complicated than rice water. All you need to do to make your own rice water toner, is soak some unpolished rice until the water looks milky and then you can apply it your face with cotton wool.

2. Use camellia oil to promote healthy hair

Another one of amazing Chinese beauty secrets is camelia oil; it is often used in China as an oil treatment for hair. It’s great for conditioning and it is also said to promote the growth of hair too. Camelia oil is a staple of Chinese beauty treatments. It’s used as a moisturiser for the skin and as a treatment for scars and stretch marks.

3. Mung beans to treat acne

Mung beans have been used for centuries in China to make face masks, by ordinary people and empresses alike. They grind up mung beans and add water to make a paste and then apply it their face and leave it on for about half an hour. It’s said to be great for de-puffing and for treating acne. If you want to try it, you can buy powdered mung beans from health stores and you could mix that with Greek yoghurt to make a great face mask.

4. Oyster shell powder to rejuvenate skin

Another one of wonderful Chinese beauty secrets is Oyster shell powder, it is a very common ingredient in Chinese skin care treatments. Here’s a recipe for a face mask that will soothe skin irritations and leave your skin glowing. Mix some oyster shell powder, which you will find in Chinese herbal remedy stores or online, with egg yolk and a tablespoon of honey. Apply the paste to your face and leave it to sit for half an hour and then wash off with lukewarm water.

5. Fight ageing with green tea

Green tea is another one of fabulous Chinese beauty secrets. Green tea may not be that much of a secret anymore, but the Chinese have known about the benefits of tea for centuries. Herbal teas of all kinds play an important part in Chinese beauty regimes and traditional medicine and green tea is just one of the many teas that they drink. Green tea has some amazing antioxidant properties that will help hold back the signs of ageing and it also speeds up the metabolism, so it can help you lose weight too.

6. Massage

Many people in the west think that a massage is a bit of pampering to be enjoyed now and then, but the Chinese are great believers in the power of reflexology and they have frequent massages to improve their circulation and help their body get rid of toxins. Facial massages are very popular because they reduce puffiness and make the skin glow.

7. They use jade rollers

Chinese beauty secrets also include the use of jade rollers, which are as popular in China, as dry brushing is in the west and both methods are used for the same purpose. Girls in China use a jade roller to improve the circulation and that improves the complexion and helps the skin to heal. For the best result, try using it after you have used a face mask and gently roll it across your face from the centre to the outside.

8. Mint leaves to lighten skin

If you have ever wondered how Chinese girls achieve that light, porcelain like quality to their skin, one of their secrets is mint leaves. To brighten your own complexion, just crush up fresh mint leaves into a paste and apply to the skin.  It will tone your skin and, over time, it will lighten your complexion.

9. They never ‘make do’

There are no such things as double duty hacks in China, the women only ever use beauty products for the purpose that they were intended for. Chinese girls will have a cabinet full of creams and lotions, each with its own specific use. They wouldn’t dream of using a body lotion on their face.

10. Turmeric to even out skin tone

And finally, one of useful Chinese beauty secrets is the use of turmeric powder. Turmeric is often associated with India and the Middle East, but it is also used extensively in Chinese beauty treatments. In ancient China, turmeric was used in face masks to combat wrinkles and to even out the skin tone. To make your own turmeric face mask, mix a tablespoon of turmeric powder with a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of almond milk. Apply it to the skin and leave it on for fifteen minutes, and you will be able to see and feel the difference in your skin.

 I have a great body, I really do. But I want to be taken seriously as an artist, and wearing anything that shows it off will be a distraction from the music.

In this post below you can see  45 Cute Toe Nail Art Ideas For Summer. Beside it we share with you some interesting facts about your toenails  Toenails are made of the same dead skin tissue as fingernails but are two to three times thicker. Toenails are quite thick due to friction and fungus. In general they also get quite the rough ride having to put up with woolly socks, tight shoes, and being stepped on.  We recommend cutting toenails straight across and NOT curving the ends. Refining the ends with an emery board to lessen the sharp points at the nail ends is better than cutting them down with scissors. Another option is to gently lift the ends of the nail and place a small ball of cotton under them to help the nail stay flat and prevent it curving downwards.  The most common reason a toenail falls off is due to a certain contagious fungal infection.  You might think your toenails look super clean but they are not "Even if you thin...
