Sixteen types of beauty treatments (Part 2): Fruits, honey, face masks, laser treatments, psychological treatments, surgery, etc.

**8. Fruit Beauty**

Some fruits are not only popular foods for people of all ages, but also excellent for beauty.

Fruit-based beauty methods include: mixing lemon juice with an equal amount of water, applying the mixture to the face with a cotton ball, or applying thin slices of strawberry to the face. Alternatively, mashing a banana, adding half a teaspoon of olive oil, mixing, and then applying to the face is also an option. Fresh watermelon rind can also be rubbed directly onto the face.

Fruit-based beauty methods allow facial skin to enjoy the "most natural" hydration. Using these purely natural ingredients for skincare is more effective and safer than some beauty and skincare products on the market.

**IX. Honey for Beauty**

Honey is not only a health food, but also a beauty product suitable for both men and women.

Honey contains a large amount of fructose, glucose, as well as vitamins, trace elements, enzymes, and hormones.

Regular use of honey for beauty purposes can promote skin metabolism, eliminate pigmentation on the face, reduce wrinkles, and make the facial skin smooth and delicate.

The method of using honey for beauty is as follows: Dilute honey with 2 to 3 times the amount of water and apply it to the face daily. If you make a cream with oatmeal, egg white and honey and apply it to the face, the effect will be even better.

**10. Facial Mask Beauty**

A gel-like facial mask, made by mixing medicines and nutrients, is applied to the face and left on for 10-20 minutes. This helps prevent moisture evaporation from the facial skin, increases skin surface temperature, promotes blood circulation, and reduces wrinkles.

Once the mask dries, it forms a film. Peel it off or wash it off, and your facial skin will become smooth and beautiful.

Currently, commonly used beauty masks include bleaching masks, egg white masks, cucumber masks, and traditional Chinese medicine masks.

**11. Laser Cosmetic Procedures**

Laser cosmetic procedures are a relatively new beauty treatment that has emerged in recent years. This method can not only eliminate facial wrinkles but also treat acne, melasma, and other skin conditions.

Laser cosmetic procedures are not complicated. They involve applying herbal remedies with beautifying properties to the desired area, then irradiating the area with a suitable amount of laser light to make the facial skin smoother and more delicate. Furthermore, it can reduce the depth of deeper wrinkles, and gradually eliminate shallower wrinkles.

Laser cosmetic procedures are popular because they are painless, safe, and reliable.

**12. Mental Beauty**

A cheerful mood and laughter are not only very beneficial to physical health and longevity, but also the best "moisturizer" for beauty.

Some studies have found that pleasant emotions and laughter can stimulate appetite, increase the secretion of digestive juices and gastrointestinal motility, and increase hemoglobin levels.

There is an old Chinese saying: "A smile makes you ten years younger." This means that if a person maintains an optimistic mood and smiles often, their complexion will be rosy and radiant, giving them a youthful and healthy appearance.

This is because when you laugh, the relaxation of facial muscles enhances facial skin metabolism and accelerates blood circulation, which helps to improve facial skin elasticity and delay the appearance of wrinkles.

No wonder some people call smiles and beauty "twin sisters".

No matter what beauty method you choose, never forget about mental beauty.

**Thirteen, Cosmetic Surgery**

If your facial skin is loose and has dense wrinkles, you can go to the hospital for facial wrinkle reduction surgery. This type of surgery is generally best performed after the age of 40.

Facial wrinkle reduction surgery involves cutting, peeling, and tightening the skin on the face, from the hairline, beside the ears, and behind the ears, removing excess skin, and then suturing it back in place.

Because the facial skin is tightened, facial wrinkles are generally not very noticeable after the surgery. Furthermore, the incision is made at the hairline, so the postoperative scar is also inconspicuous. The cosmetic results are generally quite satisfactory.

After undergoing cosmetic surgery, a person's appearance is completely transformed, making them look many years younger. Therefore, this surgery is known as "rejuvenation surgery." However, this surgery is expensive and not currently widely available.

**XIV. Acupuncture for Beauty**

Acupuncture can not only treat diseases, but also improve appearance.

Currently, acupuncture for cosmetic purposes has become popular in hospitals in major cities in countries such as the United States, France, and the former Soviet Union. Some hospitals have even established specialized acupuncture and cosmetic departments, and many beauty salons have set up dedicated acupuncture and cosmetic clinics.

The principle behind the beauty benefits of acupuncture is that stimulating relevant acupoints can dilate blood vessels in the head, eliminating blood circulation obstructions, thus helping to reduce wrinkles and prevent premature aging. In addition, it can enhance facial skin metabolism and regulate sebum secretion, resulting in smooth and elastic skin.

**15. Massage and Beauty**

Massage and beauty services are popular abroad. Currently, some high-end hair salons in my country have also added massage and beauty services to their offerings.

Massage beauty services are divided into two types: manual massage and electric massage.

Before massaging, apply some massage cream or other moisturizing cream to your face to avoid scratching your facial skin.

Massage can make facial skin smooth and reduce wrinkles.

Massage beauty treatments are popular because they are painless, have no side effects, produce relatively ideal results, and are reasonably priced.

**Sixteen, Qigong Acupressure Massage for Beauty**

In recent years, I have used Qigong acupressure massage techniques to provide cosmetic treatments for many people seeking beauty enhancements, with significant results. After one or several treatments, patients can achieve a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and a noticeable reduction in wrinkles. Generally, wrinkles are almost completely eliminated in people around 30 years old; significantly reduced in people around 40 years old; and slightly reduced in people around 50 years old. However, the effects are less than ideal for people around 60 years old and over.

Most of the people who come to me for beauty treatments work in the arts, science and education, foreign affairs, and service industries. Men make up **30%** and women **70%**. Their ages are mostly between **30** and **50** years old.

My Qigong acupressure massage beauty technique involves pressing relevant acupoints on the patient's body, followed by Qigong massage therapy. This mobilizes the body's potential, enhances metabolism, and improves facial blood circulation, thereby restoring the skin's original elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and resulting in a rosy and smooth complexion. Furthermore, by regulating eye function, it makes the eyes bright and radiant.
