        Every winter, I this great man is never besmear cosmetics anti-freeze, guards against the crack, in the morning and evening will also go to the face and hands daub skin care products. More than the daub, concerns for the ancients: not before the arrival of cosmetics, with what the ancients skin?

        Turn the idle by, just knowing the ancients of cosmetics, skin care products with every day than modern daub the ecological and environmental protection. Medical tang dynasty the machine to the secret "(published in 752) is recorded in the history of the female emperor wu zetian skin care, hairdressing process: open gold flower box lady-in-waiting, box clean snow fine powder into a small dishes rice water, careful and stir. And then this one gold dishes clinched the wu zetian, before hand holding up a queen out thick enough batter, besmear to face and hands, and gently rubbed carefully, to care the skin...... The book also clearly hand over to treat, this is "the day king tried YanFang leave the queen". Although the name is very grab an eye, read a book I wrote this ingredients process, and I suddenly enlighted and surprised: originally wu zetian used to skin and beauty "cosmetic" is to burn the ash, and then mix with water formed, in a special little furnace of low temperature burning coals slowly burning, and put the burnt grey group repeated grinding, finally obtained the "white exquisite" fine powder. As for the specific method of use is also very simple, that is in the morning and evening wash gargle, take a little the ash, confirmed and into mortar, then daub on the face and hands mortar, repeatedly rub wipe.

        In fact, in the tang dynasty with "the ash" makeup and skin care not court lady miss 1 of the patent. Dunhuang excavation of the anniversary of the folk handwritten in books, also have the common people with motherwort ash eliminate black spot, the face acne "face all disease" recipe. Visible, with "plant ash" cosmetics, skin and beauty has become very familiar with ordinary women was a life common sense. Known as the "life encyclopedia" the end of the matter LinGuang to record ", the common people recorded not only use "plant ash" cosmetic skin care, also recorded at that time people have developed an ash motherwort with many kinds of Chinese herbal medicine composition to the complex products, women will tuckahoe, usable, sweet attached, liquorice, almond, soap Angle and soybeans and the ash clever collocation developed the "grandma." This may be revised according to the northern song dynasty dynasty medical of the holy Jackie always record ", and the medical value in a "the ash TuFang" to "face black" record "using the grey and vinegar and clouds, to fire after seven degrees, into the calcined RuBo zhongyan with honey and broken. Together, into the box, each to the slurry water when lying, first, the besmear after washing, big wonderful." This period of words were clear, that is, at the end of the northern song dynasty, "plant ash" has become a "nutrition repair" type beauty products, the song dynasty people back to "the ash" up "herself powder" name. The yuan and Ming dynasties, "the ash" skin care and beauty of the "fascinating skills around" is to fully exploit. They judged the yuan compilation life encyclopedia "home from class will complete collection of Ming dynasty and the universal party" all "herself powder" to the "evolution" and its beauty and skin care function is recorded. Recorded in the ancient from view, ancient beauty with "plant ash" skin care, hairdressing history at least more than 1000 years.

        Turn ancient found that although our ancestors used "cosmetic" and "protect skin to taste" profusion is colorful, and different makeup pink division of labor is also very fine, but all the main raw materials from the ashes. Because plant ash contains alkaline, can remove grease, be bored with dirty, so it is washing clothes, clean body ideal material. And "the", not only extremely strong vitality, everywhere growth and rich resources, easy to collecting; And the selenium, manganese and so on many kinds of trace elements. (anhui zhao by jins)
