Anti-aging spa beauty
Japan is known as the "Kingdom of Hot Springs".Due to frequent crustal movements, hot springs are dotted all over Japan. From small islands on the sea to secret places in the mountains, there are hot springs for beauty and fitness everywhere.For example, Tsukioka Spring, which is known as the first hydrogen sulfide spring in Japan, has the effects of softening cuticles, bleaching skin, and rejuvenating the skin and preventing aging.

Scientific research has proved that hot springs do have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. This is because the hot spring water contains some special chemical substances. These substances will precipitate on the skin when soaking in hot springs, and then change the pH of the skin to achieve the effect of beauty.When the minerals of the hot spring itself penetrate into the skin of the body through the epidermis, the skin beautification effect will be more prominent than usual bathing.

Bathing in hot springs for beauty is not only favored by Japanese women, but also attracts beauty-loving women all over the world. The most popular way of beauty for many Hollywood stars is soaking in hot springs.

Women who want to use hot springs to become beautiful must abide by some "rules" in order to realize their desire for beauty.

1. Makeup remover
Makeup removal before soaking in hot springs is the most important thing for skin beautification.Because clean skin can absorb the mineral components in hot springs, so don't be afraid of trouble if you love beauty.

2. First low and then high
Before entering the hot spring, take a small amount of hot spring water from a small wooden barrel and pour it on your body to allow your body to adapt to the water temperature before entering the bath for soaking.The temperature of hot spring water is divided into low temperature (35°C-38°C) and high temperature (39°C-45°C). When bathing, you should start with the low-temperature hot spring, and then soak in the high-temperature hot spring after the body gradually adapts.There is no need to shower after bathing, just wipe the whole body with a towel, so that the trace elements in the hot spring can be absorbed into the body to achieve the beauty effect.

3. Rinse out of the pool every 10 minutes, rest once, and cycle like this for three rounds

After the body is slowly immersed in the soup pool from the lower part, it is time to take a rest from the pool in about 10 minutes (the rest time is also 10 minutes).In this way, after three rounds, the body will feel extremely warm, and the skin will be firm and shiny.

4. After soaking in the soup, first apply the lotion
In order not to lose the mineral components in the hot spring, when the three rounds of hot spring bathing steps are over and the spring water still stays in the body, the lotion is permeated into the skin by tapping. This step can make the skin more moisturized, At the same time retain the beneficial substances in the spring water.

5. Apply a mask, this is the best time

If you're expecting a great cosmetic boost, this is the time to apply a hydrating mask.Of course, don't forget to add water to the body. Drinking mineral water or green tea is a method that is beneficial to health and beauty.

People generally think that soaking in hot springs has health care functions for the human body, and seldom consider the "side effects" of hot springs.Here is a reminder for you: Not everyone is suitable for hot springs.Generally speaking, the following people are not suitable for bathing in hot springs:
1. Patients with acute diseases.Acute pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, otitis media or acute cold, etc.

2. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.The higher temperature of the hot spring will cause the human body to sweat profusely, the heartbeat will speed up, and the oxygen consumption of the heart will increase.

Diabetic patients.Diabetics can soak in hot springs if their blood sugar is well controlled.If the blood sugar is unstable, it is easy to sweat in hot springs, which will cause changes in blood sugar; for diabetics who have injected insulin, soaking in hot springs will speed up the absorption of insulin and aggravate diabetes.

Therefore, eating brown sugar often or applying it on the face can whiten and detoxify." As soon as the news came out, the price of Japanese brown sugar soared all the way, several times more expensive than white sugar, but compared to expensive brand-name cosmetics, it is still the first choice for cheap, high-quality, natural whitening, and it is very convenient.So now in Japan, not only older women like to take brown sugar, but even young women who are at the forefront of beauty care highly respect brown sugar.

When you reach [-], you need to take special care of your appearance
There is a saying in Japan: 38 years old is a very delicate critical point in a woman's life. Whether it is from the perspective of life design or health and beauty, a woman who reaches this age may suddenly feel old one day, but still I don't want to be called a "middle-aged woman", so my psychology and appearance will fluctuate.In this regard, in various Japanese women's magazines, discussions on how to adjust and care for the 38-year-old's critical mentality and appearance continue all the year round.

So when people reach [-], how to maintain it?
1.External skin care should be done well
In Japan, housework and children are always two heavy burdens on the shoulders of women. When they can breathe a little, they suddenly realize that they are already 38 years old.For this reason, the Japanese beauty industry has been warning women for many years that at this age, they must do external skin care, anti-aging products, essences and eye creams containing vitamin E and other ingredients should be fully used.

2.Supplement estrogen and nourish the skin
In terms of internal maintenance, Japanese beauty experts say that women in this age group must supplement estrogen.Because modern people are under a lot of pressure, a 38-year-old woman is old on the top and young on the bottom, and it is likely to have early menopause.And estrogen is like water injected into the human body, which can help restore women's sexy beauty and make the skin glow.

Soy contains trace estrogen with two-way regulation function, which can supplement the lack of estrogen in the body. If there is too much estrogen in the body, it will also inhibit it, so as to maintain the normal level of estrogen in the body.It is said that the menopause of Japanese women is later than that of Western women is the result of taking a lot of soy products.
