In any country in the world, women are ready to literally do anything to increase their beauty and preserve their youth. They sweat at the gym, consume superfoods, spend hours at spas, and seek help from plastic surgeons. The Chinese are no exception. Just like women around the world, and maybe more (after all, the cult of youth flourishes in this country), they strive to conquer time. And this, the secrets of the youth of Chinese women, they succeed perfectly. Looking at a Chinese woman, it can be quite difficult to determine how old she is, because mother, grandmother and granddaughter in the same family look actually the same age.
no tan
Like thousands of years ago, white facial skin is considered in China a sign of beauty and prosperity. Therefore, Chinese women never expose their face to direct sunlight, which is known to cause premature skin aging. Chinese women even in the heat wear long sleeves, take an umbrella with them and, of course, use sunscreen.
More water. Wherever a Chinese woman goes, she always takes a bottle of clean boiled water with her. Chinese women drink a lot to prevent dehydration of skin cells. In addition to the fact that they use water inside, they do not allow the air around them to dry out - air humidifiers are installed in Chinese homes, offices and cars. They also regularly spray their skin with thermal water.
Tea ceremony
Chinese women drink beauty and health teas such as oolong, pu-erh, red teas with goji berries, jasmine and astragalus. At the same time, they know when and which tea is better to choose, for example, teas with tea leaves are contraindicated during the female cycle.
No bad habits. People in China smoke a lot. But it's usually men who do it. Chinese women practically do not smoke and do not abuse alcohol. And even during a rebellious youth, when they take up a cigarette, they very quickly make a choice in favor of the beauty of the skin and stop smoking.
Chinese ceremonies
A very important component of Chinese culture is self-discipline and observance of the daily routine. Regular meals, as well as sleeping and waking up at the same time: they go to bed before midnight, and get up with the first rays of the sun. It is also customary to take a short nap after lunch - for example, office workers do it right behind the workplace, and students in the library.
Attention to your health
The Chinese respect their health in general and the sexual sphere in particular. Particular attention is paid to the health and well-being of a woman during pregnancy and the restoration of the body after the birth of a baby. It is believed that if a woman gets sick during this period, the disease will become chronic. Therefore, within 1-2 months after childbirth, a woman observes Zuo Yuezi (???) - she does not leave the house anywhere, takes care of her diet and tries not to overwork, or even do nothing at all. All cares about the newborn are entrusted to grandmothers (mostly mothers-in-law) or hire an assistant.
Peace, only peace! It is known that stress and pronounced facial expressions age the skin. Unlike Europeans, Chinese women do not like Botox - preferring to remain calm and "poker face" in any situation.
Minimum sugar. White sugar is practically not used in Chinese desserts. Of course, well-known Western food producers are now appearing in China, but they also have to reckon with the tastes of the local population and reduce the amount of sugar. The culture of consumption of desserts is also different. If we are used to eating sweets after dinner, the Chinese eat dessert between meals as a separate dish.
women's kitchen
In China, there is a whole section of cooking specifically for women. But instead of counting calories and denying yourself everything, as is customary in the West, Chinese women choose foods rich in collagen (for example, chicken skin and legs, turtle jelly), as well as healthy in general (various vegetables, algae, mushrooms). , plants).
Spiritual development. In China, they are sure that everything should be in harmony, and a beautiful appearance is impossible without the beauty of the soul. Therefore, women are actively engaged in self-development: they are fond of music, dance, poetry, tea culture, ikebana, origami, needlework, etc. All these hobbies contribute to the development of internal balance, strengthen the nervous system and prolong youth.

Many of the most important acupuncture points are found on the arms and legs, and stimulating these areas can have a beneficial effect on the entire body. Try massaging your hands and feet with a moisturizer every day.
"Root" of problems
A universal remedy for all skin problems is ginseng root. The botanical name of the root is Panax, which translates as "universal medicine". Considered one of the most prized plants by the Chinese, ginseng contains powerful compounds that reduce fatigue and relieve stress.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng nourishes all five main internal organs of a person - the heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys and liver. It improves the metabolism in the skin and supplies the substances it needs. All this leads to a slowdown in the aging of the whole organism and the prevention of wrinkles.
First morning treatments
Chinese women do not jump up at dawn. Their day begins with measured caring procedures. So, you need to warm up both palms by rubbing them together. You can do this with your eyes closed so that you do not immediately depart from a pleasant half-sleep and at the same time it is better to concentrate.
With warm palms, you need to touch your forehead, cheeks, neck (from bottom to top), move your hands as if you were washing your face. Such a calm meeting of the new day has a good effect on the skin, nervous system and mood.
