Cultivate your mind and see beauty. Everyone is beautiful. How can you make yourself more beautiful?

The pursuit of beauty, the pursuit of beautiful face (including figure), skin is the belief of women!

Lao Xia travels all over the world and studies in all directions. He often encounters people who laugh or cry. The opening greeting is: "Lao Xia, how do you keep your skin so white and good? What's the secret?"?

< p> Actually, I know that it’s not that Lao Xia’s face is so beautiful. It’s just that everyone who follows Lao Xia’s diary in the circle of friends knows that Lao Xia is exposed to the wind and rain all year round. Logically speaking, it should be a face that has experienced many vicissitudes of life. An old face that is bronze (at least wheat-colored) and as rough as shoe soles! /p>

But, I am not! The key is, whether Lao Xia is carrying a basket on his back to pick wild fruits and herbs in the mountains of Xinjiang, working in the fields with his back to the sky and facing the loess, working in the laboratory all night, or walking on the beach in Hainan, I have always There is no need for so-called isolation lotion and "sunscreen".

That’s right! Lao Xia studies skin care and develops skin care products, but I personally only use the plant-based face and hair washing products I developed (I use them for bathing and face washing). In spring, when the northern wind blows and my face is dry and painful, I only use it. Discuss with Anxin Keer and borrow some of the "little chamomile" developed for them. For 65 days, no matter how far north or south, traveling through mountains and fields, wind and rain, rain, snow, wind and frost, this face was allowed to "weather naturally". [Laughing]

Therefore, it is no wonder that Lao Xia, who studies skin care, is often asked: "Let's start the class, Lao Xia, let's talk about how to become more beautiful!"

< p> I hate talking about too much technology, and I hate talking too much about products, because as a developer, it can easily turn into tendentious "marketing" rhetoric, which I hate!

I will just work hard on my research and development, stick to my belief in loving plants and natural energy, follow the concept of "internal regulation + external nourishment (use)", and spread the lifestyle to more people That’s fine; I will tell you sincerely, such as which plant resources this product uses, various formula raw materials and compatibility principles, what kind of people and what kind of problems it is used to solve, etc. This is enough, Lao Xia cannot do "marketing".

Having said so much, it seems that I haven’t gotten to the topic of today, which is a bit embarrassing...

What does cultivating the mind to see beauty have to do with this?

This relationship is actually very, very big!

If the topics mentioned above are more on the "technical" level, in fact, the pursuit of true "beauty" and "cultivation of the mind" are the real "Tao Xing" level topics!

Over the years, Lao Xia has been traveling around the country, and I have met many people who were originally "good-natured" - such as people with exquisite facial features and good figures. But, to be honest, they don't look beautiful!

When you look at them at a glance, they are just the beauty among the "everything else" in the crowd! You don't pay much attention to them, they pass by in a flash, that's all.

In this era where the whole society advocates beauty, nutrition and beauty technology are highly mature and technologically rich, how many ugly women or men do you see on the street?

When everyone’s beauty is “lost to everyone”, it is actually an era when beauty is dispelled and mediocre!

Take a closer look - it may be due to Lao Xia's professional habits. I like to pay attention to the person's complexion (related to inner physical health) and appearance (related to inner temperament) at a glance. Related), skin condition (related to daily skin care).

I like to focus on the above three issues through the so-called "beautiful face", and finally I discovered a kind of era-specific ***!

On the street, under the exquisite facial features, there is a common "unbalanced complexion", almost all temperaments hide "eagerness and impetuousness", and most of the skin is either fragile (very weak) or prone to allergies. After all, the remaining part is either a greasy face or a "loess high slope" that is so dry that dirt falls off!

Let’s break it down more carefully: “complexion” is the root cause of deficiency of Qi and blood in the body, or disharmony of Qi and blood; “appearance” is the urgency of social pressure or the pressure of life; “skin” "Status" reveals many potential problems in skin care, some of which are related to products, and some are misunderstandings about methods.

So, Lao Xia has been calling for "becoming beautiful" in recent years, including millions of words of popular science in my circle of friends.

(1) Maybe the focus falls on the third aspect Pay attention to the "skin condition";

(2) From external use to nourish the beauty of the skin, turn to focus on the inner health of the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, "qi and blood reconciliation" is a typical process from "outside" to "inside" ";

(3) Through "appearance", it is the word "cultivation of the heart" that I want to mention again today!

A popular saying among men in the past few years is "I'm a little anxious about my appearance." In fact, it is also applicable to girls: "You may not look at your exquisite facial features, but you are anxious about life." A little bit (obscured by everyone, or can’t bear to watch)!” Smirking]/p>

In the flow of people who are ushering in, in all the same beauty that passes by, all the “homogeneity” The beauty and face of "make-up" are the same as those of "cross-dressing". Everyone has seen stage group performances and military training performances, all stage makeup and camouflage uniforms. The collective beauty is strengthened, and the individual beauty is always the most submerged!

When more people show a consistent "appearance" due to widespread pressure and anxiety, your unique beauty will be submerged!

At this time, how can we "cultivate" ourselves at the inner level, so that the "mind? Beauty will be more easily "amplified"!

There is an old idiom called "The crane stands out from the flock". In fact, it is not entirely because the crane is taller and more beautiful than the chicken. The key lies in the pure and beautiful white crane, and the temperament and spirituality of the chicken who chirps all day long. The beauty of self-cultivation is completely different from the level of style! /p>

Judging from the laws of social acceptance of aesthetics and referring to traditional Chinese aesthetic characteristics, there are two types of "beauty" among women that are most likely to stand out from the crowd:

(1) The beauty of aloofness is what some people call the beauty of "coldness" based on Western psychological vocabulary. This type of beauty, if you investigate the aesthetics of Chinese men, you will find that there is a collective aesthetic "fall". The reasons can be explained from the perspectives of social psychology, biology and medicine. Lao Xia will not elaborate here, because this is not a level that I think can be artificially "cultivated". It often requires a lot of encounters or physiological experiences. Sexual blow (or lack thereof) can be achieved;

(2) The beauty of peace, which is more in line with the aesthetic connotation of Eastern aesthetics!

Some people don’t quite understand this style, so Lao Xia reminds everyone of an idiom called “peace of mind”, which means “peace of mind and peace of mind”, or “peace of mind and self-possession”.

The core here lies in "peace" and "harmony", "peace" is the inner balance, stability and stability in the heart;

"harmony" means "harmony of qi and blood", "Harmony of yin and yang", of course, is the "harmony" of "social values ??that are harmonious but different", the harmony of acceptance, the harmony of tolerance, the harmony of harmony, the harmony of harmony, and self-beauty due to harmony.

Someone was debating with Lao Xia, saying that women’s peaceful beauty is not exclusive to the East. He gave an example of Leonardo da Vinci’s oil painting “Monro Lisa’s Smile” and said that the “peaceful beauty” in this painting is not exclusive to the East. A woman's elegance and tranquility transcend national boundaries and race...

Well, anyway, "the beauty of peace" is the most gentle and appealing beauty!

Of course, this kind of "peaceful beauty" is not exclusive to women. Although male beauty is characterized by "masculinity", you see, the ultimate pursuit in all fields is also characterized by "peace"!

When some people read this, they feel that it is very profound and the conditions are difficult to meet, or they think that Lao Xia wants to advocate that all women in the world cultivate themselves into "Virgin Marys".

It’s actually not that profound. To put it simply, since we pursue external beauty to “stand out”, in this technological age where everyone is beautiful, simple external beauty alone is not enough. of!

So people often say: "Good-looking people are everywhere, but interesting souls can only be found in thousands!"

The so-called "beauty of peace",

is small. Li said that we should start by learning "acceptance" and "tolerance". There will be all kinds of things in life, work and interpersonal relationships. Just like in the primitive jungle, there must be beautiful "animal world" that we can see on TV. "There must still be all kinds of decay and ugliness.

Secondly, if the times are too fast and our physical body is too painful, then we must no longer suffer ourselves in our hearts. Give yourself some time and space to slow down and calm down. At this time, it is easier for us to discover ourselves, know what we desire, know what the happiness and joy we want are, and then reserve a piece of time and space in the soul for it to pursue and explore; the final difference between humans and small animals is that we have We have our own temperament, our own hobbies and interests, and the soul passage we want to go up, so let’s try to open that door!

Finally, we learn to keep our physical body from falling behind the times in the fast-moving wheel of the times, while maintaining the harmony between our inner self and our soul; when we can "peacefully" talk to our "self" , we will be able to get along more and more "peacefully" with the outside world, with others, and with the world.

The "beauty of peace" will naturally advance and upgrade!

Cultivation of the mind reveals beauty, which is a more meaningful and evergreen beauty!
