Asian Beauty Secrets


Asian women are one of the most beautiful women in the world. Their beauty is due not only to the genetics but also to the way they take care of their skin and the procedures they do to maintain their beauty.

The traditional anti-aging products (creams, moisturizers, serums, masks) that are widely spread in USA and Europe are focused mainly on decreasing the signs of aging – wrinkles, fine lines, age spots. In other words these anti-aging products affect only the surface of the skin. Unlike the western medicine, the traditional Chinese medicine pay special attention to the whole body, as well as to the factors that lead to premature aging. The Chinese medicine pay attention to the internal organs, the presence of toxins in the body, the body energy.

We offer you a few simple and easy steps that include homemade masks, exotic foods and products that can transform your skin to a new, better level.

Panex Ginseng:

Panex Ginseng, known also as Ginseng is one universal “remedy“ widely used in the Asian countries. Ginseng contains many powerful molecules that drop away tiredness and stress in the body. It is rich in antioxidants that neutralize the free radicals which can seriously affect the skin. Ginseng also contains large amounts of natural steroids which are essential for the production of new skin cells.
According to the traditional Chinese medicine Panex Ginseng nourish the heart, the lungs, the spleen, the kidneys and the liver. Ginseng improvers the metabolism and the blood circulation – the two factors that are essential for healthy skin cells and for a younger looking skin.

How to use Panex Ginseng:

Buy 50g. Panex Ginseng (you can find it at the drugstore) and infuse it with 120ml. mineral water. Put the water and the ginseng in a pan and steam it for approximately 30 minutes. Drink ½ of the liquid before breakfast and consume the rest of it in the next day. Do this every other day for about two/ three week to achieve best results.

Pearl Beauty:

Asian women use pearl powder for centuries to keep their skin healthy-looking and to keep it nourished. The pearl powder contains amino acids and other elements that rejuvenate the skin.
The pearl powder soothes inflamed tissues, promotes healing and works especially well for those with sensitive skin as it calms inflammation, redness and skin irritations. The Asian women take pearl powder internally or apply it topically to smooth their skin and to maintain a younger appearance. Look for the Chinese Pearl Powder celled Zhen Zhu Mo.

Rejuvenating foods:

Asian women have always included the healthiest foods (that slow down the aging process, improve skin’s elasticity and decrease the number of wrinkles) in their diet. These include dates, honey, cherries, rice, cucumbers, avocados, Chinese mushrooms. The Chinese mushrooms for example, not only rejuvenate the skin but they are also rich in vitamin B, iron, calcium, magnesium. The Chinese mushrooms have a wholesome effect on the blood, the heart and the lungs. These mushrooms have been recently researched and for their medicinal benefits, most notably for their anti-tumor properties. So buy Chinese mushrooms and cook them at home. Here you can find very interesting and easy to cook recipes with Chinese mushrooms.

Try acupressure:

Acupressure is an ancient healing and rejuvenating “art“ that stimulates the body’s self-curative abilities. Acupressure involves placing physical pressure by hand, elbow or with the aid of various devices on different points on the surface of the body.

At first the Asians use acupressure to increase their energy, but later they discovered that the procedure also improves blood circulation, body metabolism and as a result the facial muscles go slack and the skin becomes more elastic, free-of fine lines and wrinkles. So go to the nearest beauty salon and try this rejuvenating technique
