After women turn 30, heavy work pressure, irregular living habits, and unreasonable diets... if they're not careful, they can enter the ranks of "yellow-faced women": skin becomes especially prone to dryness, loses its luster, and small fine lines will quietly appear at the corners of the eyes and mouth. Women in their late 20s need to learn how to nourish themselves. The following soups can beautify and whiten the skin!
