In fact, He Wanning's complexion is a healthy wheat color, and with slightly heroic eyebrows, it has a special flavor. However, in autumn and winter, the climate in the north is dry and the phenomenon of skin dehydration exists.
He Chun, who was standing quietly behind the lady, moved his mouth when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything in the end. Yu Xiaocao noticed her strangeness, and looked back at her. The master and servant exchanged glances, and from He Chun's expression, Xiaocao knew that this girl had brought over the finished handmade soap that had just been successfully developed.
She took a closer look at He Wanning's skin, and asked softly: "Miss He usually washes her face, what do you use?"
"Naturally, I used the scented soap of the century-old brand 'Fuyuanchun'? Like me, I often go out on horseback, and I don't use soap to wash my face, and I always feel that my face is not clean." He Wanning took it for granted. Although soap is expensive, it is not impossible for noble ladies in Beijing to afford it.
Li Meirou said coolly at the side: "Miss He, I'm afraid some country bumpkins have never even heard of the soap you mentioned. Isn't this playing the piano with a cow?"
The girls sitting next to her let out a low laugh. From time to time, someone would look at Yu Xiaocao's reaction from the corner of their eyes. He Chun blushed with anger, wishing he could go up and have a fight with them. Yu Xiaocao stopped her with her gaze: it will be clear who is the bumpkin in a while.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the self-satisfied Li Meirou, chuckled, and continued to say to He Wanning: "This 'Fu Yuanchun' soap can certainly clean the dirt on the face, but the caustic soda in it can also be taken away. There is a lot of water in the skin. Coupled with the air in our north, it is dry in autumn and winter. Human skin, like this apple, is originally watery, but if it lacks water, it will soon wrinkle …”
Didn't you say that people have never seen or heard of soap? Now that people have even analyzed the ingredients in it, what else can you say. Li Meirou felt that her face was being slapped, and suddenly felt hot.
"Then what should I do? If you don't clean it, you will get pimples on your face, and the redness and swelling will be even more ugly! Sister Xiaocao, I heard that you are proficient in pharmacology, please tell me if there is any solution?" He Wanning held her own Face, thinking of Apple's dry appearance after losing moisture, shuddered, and asked hastily.
Which cardamom girl doesn't like to be pretty? Many of the little girls here have skin problems of one kind or another, which cannot be solved even with expensive creams. Looking at Yu Xiaocao's skin as tender as water tofu, her heart immediately itch. On the surface, they even pretended not to care, but their ears were actually pricked up, for fear of missing an important sentence.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at He Chun, and the smile on her face became more sincere: "Our Tanggu is close to the sea, and the air is relatively humid. I also felt some skin discomfort after I came to the capital. Like Miss He, my The work is done outdoors, and it is exposed to the wind and the sun, if the skin is not well maintained, isn't it as thick as tree bark?"
When He Wanning heard the words, she nodded frequently, and said, "Don't congratulate Miss He, you're more of a stranger! I'm older than you, so I'll call you Sister He. Sister Xiaocao, tell me, how do you protect your skin?"
When the other little girls heard He Wanning's words, they looked at Xiaocao with envy and extremes. You know, as the granddaughter of the eldest princess, He Wanning, not to mention her noble status, also has a somewhat aloof temperament, so it is difficult for ordinary people to see her well. Unexpectedly, a little girl from a farming family could win her favor at the first meeting. It seems that Yu Xiaocao is not an ordinary person!
Yu Xiaocao glanced at everyone's expressions, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, her sweet dimples were almost intoxicating: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient! Sister Congratulations, skin care starts with water lock and sunscreen. Let me talk about it first." It’s sunscreen. It’s best to wear a mask when you go out. If you think it’s in the way, then apply more powder. In fact, it’s best not to go out when the sun is the strongest. As for water retention and replenishment, aloe vera has the best effect good… "
"Aloe vera? What is that?" Not only He Wanning, Princess Minglan and everyone present had never heard of this plant.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, and felt a little dazed. Aloe vera is native to Africa. This kind of plant existed in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and it was probably brought back by the emperor or the king of Yangjun when he went to the West. Because of his unattractive appearance, he cannot attract the attention of ladies, so he is not recognized by everyone.
"Aloe vera is a plant in the West. The leaves are hypertrophic. When you break open the juice in the leaves, it can reduce inflammation, cure acne, lock water and moisturize. In addition, aloe vera also has some medicinal value. However, it is best not to use the juice of aloe vera directly. Skin, some people will be allergic..." Yu Xiaocao began to popularize science.
"Allergies? What is an allergy?" He Wanning became a curious baby, with a relatively strong ability to accept these new words.
"Allergies..." Yu Xiaocao organized her words before continuing, "An allergy is a reaction to something, some directly acting on the skin, showing rashes, peeling, bumps, accompanied by itching, etc. Symptoms. Some are like a cold, with itchy nose, sneezing, and even asthma... "
Before Yu Xiaocao finished speaking, a lady exclaimed, "My mother can't see furry animals like cats and dogs, otherwise she would keep sneezing and weeping, it's so uncomfortable. Is this so?" Is it an allergy?"
"Yes, Lingtang is probably allergic to animal hair, as long as he stays away from some long-haired animals, he will recover naturally." Yu Xiaocao nodded.
There was a girl who was a little withdrawn and didn't talk much to others. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, she hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Miss Yu, when spring comes, my face will itch, and I will get itchy a lot. Small bumps. Is this also an allergy?"
The symptoms of spring pollen allergy and catkin allergy are very common. Yu Xiaocao said without hesitation: "It should be. I don't know what flowers and plants are planted in your home, can you tell me?"
The little girl thought for a while, and said: "There are not many flowers and plants in my yard. I like the beauty of weeping willows, so my mother asked people to plant many weeping willows beside the small pond in the garden..."
"Then when you have symptoms on your face, is it the season when catkins are floating?" Yu Xiaocao asked knowingly.
The little girl thought for a while, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Yes! Every time when the catkins are flying. I like the flying catkins all over the sky the most. It's like snow in winter. It's very beautiful... But every time I admire the catkins When I come back, the symptoms on my face will intensify. Could it be that my allergies are related to catkins?"
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said, "Many people are allergic to catkins. As long as you stay away from the allergens and hydrate your skin, the symptoms will disappear naturally."
He Wanning listened patiently to the topic of allergies, and couldn't wait to ask the question everyone wanted to ask: "Sister Xiaocao, can you tell us how you moisturize your skin?"
"Didn't you just say that aloe vera has a very good moisturizing effect, so I improved the soap and made it into aloe vera handmade soap. It can not only cleanse the skin, but also prevent moisture loss." Yu Xiaocao pretended to be mysterious smile.
"Aloe vera handmade soap? Moisturizing aloe vera ingredients added in it? Sister Xiaocao, did you bring it today? Show it to the sisters?" When attending a party, it is inevitable to wash your hands before eating, and some of them are more particular , will bring their own soap. That's why He Wanning asked such a question.
Yu Xiaocao took a look at He Chun, and under the expectant eyes of everyone, she chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not used to using the soap sold in the store, so I brought a piece here. Not only did I bring aloe vera, but I also brought my soap." And Yatou's new honey milk handmade soap. It not only moisturizes, but also has whitening effects... "
"Take it out and have a look!" He Wanning was impatient. Unknowingly, Xiaocao has become the center of everyone's attention in the warm pavilion. Even Princess Minglan doesn't care about entertaining guests, and sits beside Xiaocao, watching her quietly.
He Chun looked proud, and she handed the two pots of flowers in her hands to the girl serving in the Nuan Pavilion, and carefully took out two exquisitely carved wooden boxes from her purse. This wooden box is small and cute, with images of hundreds of flowers carved on it.
He Wanning took one of them, and carefully opened the box, revealing the creamy handmade soap in front of everyone. This handmade soap is only half the size of a little girl's palm, in the shape of a flower, and there is a lifelike relief of a bee on it.
"It's so beautiful, with the fragrance of milk, a bit like the most expensive pastry in 'Daohua Village'!" A slightly plump little girl with baby fat yelled sweetly. It turned out that at some point, the main table where Yu Xiaocao and the others were sitting was already surrounded by little girls. Everyone stretched their necks to look into the box in He Wanning's hand.
Yu Xiaocao introduced: "Sister He took the honey milk handmade soap. It not only whitens and moisturizes, but also has a faint fragrance after washing hands."
"Quick, bring a basin of water here, I want to try it!" He Wanning was impatient, so she ordered the serving girl to fetch water on the spot.
Princess Minglan also held a box in her hand. The handmade soap inside was in the shape of a leaf, and even the veins could be clearly seen. The color is light green, which is fresh and lovely green. When you smell it lightly, an elegant fragrance comes to your nostrils, making you feel like you are in the warm spring suburbs. The faint grass fragrance accompanied by the elegant floral fragrance makes people Intoxicated for a long time.
"This... is handmade soap with aloe vera added?" Princess Minglan asked softly.
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said with a smile: "This moisturizing effect is good. After washing hands, they are moisturized, smooth, and very comfortable."
The basin was brought over, and after He Wanning wet her hands, she took the piece of milk and honey handmade soap in her hand, and said with a smile, "I don't even want to use such exquisite handmade soap!"
