Who knows the origin of cosmetics? The teacher asked us to write a paper on ancient female cosmetics.
Ancient women generally used natural plants to make cosmetics, such as honey, cinnabar and henna. You can see it from the book Compendium of Materia Medica. Ancient people not only used natural things wisely in appearance to meet the needs of beauty, but also dabbled in Chinese medicine, adjusted it with Chinese medicine, improved their eating habits according to different seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and ate different medicated diets and soups in combination with their own physique, all of which could improve their skin and prolong their lives.
