As the temperature keeps climbing, the plum rain season has been gloomy for days, and the skin becomes increasingly irritable. All kinds of summer invasions have become problems that we cannot help but prevent.
In summer, the body easily loses water due to excessive sweating, and the feeling of fatigue sets in, making it hard to avoid being lethargic in learning and work. At this time, it is necessary to use a skin-refreshing remedy to give the body a bit of stimulation. In addition to eating less fatty, sugary, and stimulating foods, we can also drink more light herbal drinks such as cool tea. Of course, following the traditional Chinese medicine skincare routine with Six God bathing liquid after work is a must-do task.
The sebaceous gland metabolism of human skin is very active in summer. After squeezing through buses and subways and returning home, the greasiness and stuffiness of the skin are the most annoying. What you want to do most is go home and soak in the bathtub to let your body relax in a cool and refreshing way. There are quite a few summer shower products on the market that claim to be refreshing, but those that are both refreshing and moisturizing are really few. I accidentally saw an ice-clear moisturizing shower gel from Six Gods online. One of the formulas in Six Gods' shower gel originates from the "Qing Lu Liang Run Fang" in the "Qing Nang Po Xiao Mi Fang," which is made from extracts of hibiscus leaves (Qing Lu Ye), lily, cymopterus, hibiscus, honeysuckle, and other Chinese herbs. Using it for summer bathing and skincare should be excellent.
It is said that there was a secret and mysterious recipe passed down among the common people, which was effective once used, eliminating redness and swelling and relieving skin irritation. After the publication of "Compendium of Materia Medica," people realized that it was simply made from the familiar flower, hibiscus. A characteristic of hibiscus is that it likes to grow by the water. Because it grows by the water, hibiscus has pharmacological effects such as clearing heat, cooling blood, reducing swelling, and detoxifying. Its leaves are known as Qing Lu Ye. Later generations combined Qing Lu Ye, lily, cymopterus, etc., into the Qing Lu formula, specifically used for cooling and soothing the skin. This ice-clear moisturizing shower gel extracts unique natural plant essences, not only bringing a refreshing sensation to the skin but also featuring Six Gods' exclusive easy-rinse formula with a fresh and pleasant aroma.
Actually, regarding the Qing Lu Liang Run Fang of Six Gods' shower gel, there are two beautiful legendary stories. One is about how Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen exclusively favored Empress Wan for nearly thirty years, which is rare in history. Although Empress Wan was nineteen years older than the emperor, she possessed a smooth and delicate complexion, thus attracting the jealousy of Empress Wu, who secretly instructed a maid to place poisonous insects on her clothes. Unfortunately, Empress Wan fell victim to the scheme, suffering from red and swollen skin, unbearable itching, and immense pain. The emperor, deeply in love with her, was extremely angry and subsequently deposed Empress Wu. Later, a royal physician presented a good prescription, using Qing Lu Ye, lily, cymopterus, and others in water for bathing. Soon, Empress Wan recovered. From then on, she developed the habit of bathing with this formula, maintaining water-like tender and smooth skin for decades, captivating the emperor's affection and enduring favor.
