Ginseng: South Korea is leading in the development of ginseng. They often use ginseng to stew chicken or add it to skincare products. Ginseng contains saponins, polysaccharides, and other components that promote blood circulation. It is commonly used in eye products to improve blood circulation, reduce dark circles, and have a certain whitening effect.

Angelica: Angelica's blood-nourishing and blood circulation-promoting effects are very beneficial for skincare. You can use 10g of angelica, 10g of astragalus, and 5 red dates to make a tea that can make the complexion ruddy. In addition, powdered tangerine peel is also a beauty agent, which has a certain effect on facial sallowness.

Coix Seed: Coix seed is the main medicine for anti-spot treatment and is known as the "king of anti-spot." Coix seed can remove acne, and it has certain effects on age spots, freckles, butterfly spots, and pregnancy spots. It also has a certain effect on skin exfoliation, acne, and rough skin.

Poria: Poria has a prominent position in Qing Dynasty health products. Empress Dowager Cixi often used Poria products to maintain her facial complexion, and white Poria also has a whitening effect. Chinese herbal medicines with the word "white" can all contribute to whitening, such as white atractylodes, white poria, and white clove. The method is to grind the medicine into powder, mix it into a paste, and apply it to the face like a whitening mask.

Oats: Many people do not know what oats are. Oats are excellent health food. They can improve body shape and complexion through lowering blood lipids, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Oats can also improve skin elasticity. If you have rosacea or a red apple face, you can consume oats to improve it.

Bird's Nest: Bird's nest can reduce wrinkles and make the skin smooth. However, bird's nest is expensive, so ordinary people can use tremella as a substitute. If you want to reduce wrinkles, you can choose products containing tremella, or you can directly consume tremella porridge.

Chinese Yam: Chinese yam has antioxidant and anti-aging effects, especially wild Chinese yam has better effects. In Thailand, there is a tradition that when a daughter turns 14, the mother starts making wild Chinese yam food for her, so many Thai women have a curvy figure. Pomegranate also has this effect, and it can be consumed in various ways.
