The title of the 60th episode, "Jasmine Powder Replaces Rose Saltpeter and Rose Water to Attract Poria Cream" mentions "Jasmine Powder", "Rose Saltpeter", "Rose Water" and "Poria Cream". This is a good product for beauty and skin care, and there are also a variety of beauty and skin care products in other chapters. In the forty-fourth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Sister Feng throws vinegar and is overjoyed when something unexpected happens." There is a section where Baoyu helps Ping'er, who has been wronged, to do her makeup. There are some cosmetics mentioned in it. The cosmetics at that time were not as precise as they are now. Product name, I found the original text, you can read it yourself. Ping'er heard the truth and went to look for the powder, but there was no powder. Baoyu hurriedly walked to the dressing table, opened a Xuanyao porcelain box, which contained a row of ten jade hosta flower sticks, picked up one and handed it to Ping'er. Ping'er smiled and said to him again: "This is not lead powder, this is purple jasmine flower seeds, ground up and mixed with spices." When Ping'er fell on his palm and looked at it, he saw a light white and red fragrance, all beautiful, spread out on the The face is also easy to even out and can moisturize the skin, unlike other pinks and blues that are heavy and astringent. Then I saw that the rouge was not in sheets, but in a small white jade box, which contained a box, like rose paste. Baoyu smiled and said: "The rouge sold in the market is not clean and the color is thin. This is the best rouge, squeeze out the juice, wash out the residue, mix it with floral dew, steam it and fold it. You only use a thin hairpin to pick it out." Apply a little on the palm of your hand, mix it with a little water and apply it on the lips. It will be enough to hit the cheeks in the palm of your hand. Ping'er followed the instructions and the makeup was very bright and sweet, and her cheeks were full of sweetness. In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Daiyu, Baochai, and other ladies and maids in the Rong Mansion all have the habit of wearing incense. They collect petals and pollen from flowers, such as roses, peach blossoms, and lotus flowers, and use them to make balm to make their skin feel smooth. As crystal clear as snow. The skin care products made from these flowers can not only nourish the skin, but can even be eaten. It is described in the book that Su Baoyu has a hobby of eating girls' rouge, as well as girls and maids. She has a lot of knowledge about health care, and is good at collecting essences from flowers and plants to make balsams and powders to decorate herself. These "purely natural" skin care products made from flowers are not only good for beauty, but some are also edible. There is such a plot: One day at dawn, Baochai woke up from spring sleep, so he called Xiangyun and others to wash up. Xiangyun's cheeks were itchy and he was afraid of apricot ringworm, so he asked Baochai for some roses. Baochai said, "I gave the leftovers to my sister because I said that I had a lot of them. I was about to ask her for some, but I didn't feel itchy this year, so I forgot about it." Rose saltpeter is a symptomatic medicinal cosmetic. Its ingredients may be synthesized from rose dew and silver saltpetre. From a medicinal point of view, the roots, branches, leaves and flowers of the wild shrub rose can be used as medicine. It is cool, sweet, bitter and can be used as medicine. Medical books record that rose branches can clear away heat and dampness, dispel wind, activate blood circulation, and detoxify. The leaves can be applied externally to strengthen muscles and close the mouth. The flowers can clear away heat, calm the stomach, and stop bleeding. A small amount of external use can treat aphthous ulcers and relieve thirst. Moisturize the skin and remove greasy hair. The "nitrate" mentioned here is the general name for certain mineral salts, which generally have the effects of dispersing, pulling out pus, and removing decay. Therefore, rose saltpeter has a certain therapeutic effect on spring ringworm.
