There are many Chinese herbs with skincare and beauty effects. The commonly used beauty herbs are mainly as follows:
Angelica: Its skincare and beauty effect comes from its ability to dilate skin capillaries and accelerate blood circulation. Angelica contains rich trace elements, which can nourish the skin and prevent roughness. It can be used for acne, brown spots, freckles, and hair loss. The method is to take 50 grams of angelica, boil it twice with an appropriate amount of water, and filter the decoction of 1000 milliliters. The container can be made of enamel, ceramic, or glass; not iron or aluminum. Use the decoction to dab on the face; wash the scalp after rubbing.

Sophora fruit, black beans: Can nourish yin and clear heat, nourish the kidneys and brighten the eyes, making the hair and beard black. Take 1-5 pills after meals.
Rehmannia: Known as the "fuel of life". Skincare and beauty prescriptions include Rehmannia wine, which has the effects of prolonging life, promoting black hair, and strengthening teeth. The method is as follows: take 30 grams of Rehmannia, crush it, mix it with 80 grams of glutinous rice and 15 grams of wine yeast in a basin, and knead it evenly. Put it into a jar, seal it with mud, and bury it. After 30 days, open it and you will see a layer of green liquid floating on the top. This is the essence of the product and should not be discarded.
