Beauty, for the high-end population, is an important component of human body beauty. The meaning of beauty originally referred to people using physical and chemical methods, through scientific and artistic techniques, to restore the physiological functions of various parts of the face while adding aesthetic value to these areas, achieving the goal of health and beauty. Therefore, beauty has always been a discipline that combines science with art.
Modern women all pay attention to beauty care; any woman walking on the street can talk knowledgeably about skincare and makeup. Even more and more men are joining this trend. However, the proportion of people who truly understand and effectively practice beauty care is not very high.
In China, since ancient times, snow-white and tender skin has been considered the first condition of being a "beauty." This viewpoint has been deeply championed by painters and poets; it is not difficult to discover this from past paintings and literary works. Whiteness and tenderness have been ardently sung and praised by them. A woman's beauty has a deep relationship with her skin. The main evaluation elements of beautiful skin include four points: skin color, texture, smoothness, and elasticity.
To date, with the progress of society and the development of science, as human material and cultural levels gradually improve, beauty is increasingly valued by people. People's requirements for beauty are also getting higher. Modern beauty not only includes basic facial beauty methods and local beauty techniques but also encompasses body shaping, hair styling, especially overall health and other life-related knowledge concerning the human body. Modern cosmetology advocates starting from an overall concept, emphasizing the "spirit, energy, and complexion" in beauty, which means combining full-body conditioning with localized treatment, making the blood and qi flow smoothly, ensuring that nutritional substances such as blood, qi, and body fluids can be delivered to external organs. This not only treats illnesses but also promotes fitness and longevity, strengthening the body and achieving the long-term goal of beauty and anti-aging. At the same time, through external facial beauty makeup and hair styling, overall coordinated beauty is achieved.
Using various cosmetics for facial care and modification can only be considered a basic concept of beauty, while beauty care should involve internal regulation, making the complexion rosy and lustrous, the skin delicate, the eyes spirited, thus achieving the effect of beautifying the appearance and maintaining youth.
Beauty care does not solely refer to having a pretty face; mental beauty is equally important. It is also necessary to enhance one’s self-cultivation, cultivate temperament, develop personality, explore the soul, enabling individuals to transcend age, appearance, and physical state, acquiring a striking image and inner beauty. This is the true meaning of beauty care.
Beauty and skin care have principles. Without scientific approaches, they will not be effective. Only by following the physiological processes of the human body, allowing natural changes, can one achieve true beauty and skin care. The following principles should be followed:
Persistence.
Avoid sporadic efforts. Perfect skin cannot be achieved in just a day or two. Those products promising immediate results are actually undesirable and can cause significant harm to your skin. Therefore, if you want to have healthy and perfect skin, don't expect quick results. You need to persist continuously.
Systematicness.
Oppose random actions. The beauty system includes: emotions, mood, spirit, diet, nutritional structure, and environment. Some women only focus on local facial beauty but neglect adjustments to their diet, emotions, spirit, and living habits. In the end, they spend a lot of money, waste more time and energy, yet fail to achieve ideal results.
Regularity.
Beauty requires regularity and adherence to the physiological processes of the human body. Only in this way can skin changes be achieved without harming health. It should be a natural process of change. Related articles: How to beautify? How to nourish the complexion?
