'Family' beauty secrets of brides around the world

The beauty method favored by Japanese brides is a mask made from nightingale droppings with the effect of treating acne and whitening skin.

1. Japan

Three months before the wedding day, brides in the land of the rising sun often use natural, pure oils such as rice bran oil and camellia oil to nourish their skin and prevent acne. Rice bran oil helps to clean, nourish and protect the skin with its main ingredients being Vitamin E and antioxidants. Camellia oil has moisturizing and whitening effects. In addition, brides do not forget to use matcha green tea powder to apply on their faces, make drinks to detoxify, fight inflammation, and treat dark spots...

Another long-standing beauty treatment favored by Japanese brides is a mask made from nightingale droppings, which is said to help clear up acne and whiten the skin. The bird droppings, which contain proteins and whitening enzymes, are sterilized by the Japanese, ground into powder, or mixed with rice bran. This powder is applied to the face and then washed off with water, an age-old beauty treatment used by Japanese geisha.

2. India

Indian brides are proud of their thick, shiny black hair. To achieve this, three months before the wedding day, they must massage coconut oil into their scalp once a week or leave coconut oil in their hair overnight and wash it off the next morning so that the oil can penetrate deeper into the hair.

Besides coconut oil, turmeric is also considered a "miracle drug" in India. Usually, before the wedding day, the bride and groom apply a mixture of ground fresh turmeric and green gram powder on their bodies to kill bacteria, exfoliate and increase moisture. Therefore, Indian couples will have the most beautiful and radiant skin on their big day.

3. Indonesia

Turmeric is also popular in the Muslim country of Indonesia. Brides here also have a tradition of mixing a mixture of turmeric, rice, jasmine, ginger and some other herbs to rub on their bodies, to provide energy for the body and clean, brighten the skin before the wedding day.

4. Israel

The Dead Sea in Israel has miraculous restorative properties. Due to its high salt content, the mud is rich in minerals, which help to remove pollutants, impurities and excess oil from the skin. The mud rejuvenates the skin, treats acne and is known to help with psoriasis, eczema and arthritis. Israeli brides often soak in the Dead Sea twice a week before their big day to achieve the most perfect skin.

Historically, Queen Cleopatra also made a pilgrimage to this sea to beautify her skin.

5. South Korea

Kimchi is a favorite dish of many Korean women. This dish is made by fermenting cabbage with a mixture of spices: garlic, sugar, chili, salt. This fermentation process produces a type of bacteria that is beneficial for the intestines. Many doctors have linked the relationship between intestinal health and skin health. According to dermatologists, kimchi is a useful remedy for effective acne treatment.

In addition, this dish also helps prevent wrinkles by providing moisture to the skin. Therefore, a month before the wedding day, Korean brides add more kimchi to their daily menu.

Makkoli is also considered a traditional beauty treatment for Korean women. It is a sparkling rice wine with 6-8% alcohol content. A 1-liter bottle of Makkoli contains the same amount of probiotics as 100 bottles of yogurt, which is beneficial for digestion and good for the skin. Many Korean brides apply Makkoli directly to their faces to nourish their skin.

6. Egypt

If in the past, bathing with fresh milk was the beauty secret of Queen Cleopatra, now, Egyptian girls also love this type of skin care. Milk is known for its effect of removing dead cells, softening and whitening the skin. To create the milk bath mixture, Egyptian women mix a cup of milk with half a cup of honey and pour it into a hot bath. One month before the wedding, Egyptian brides will soak in the above mixture every day.

7. Chile

Chilean women use their country’s signature wine to make facial masks because it contains many antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that treat acne. They often mix half a small cup of wine with flour and apply it evenly on the face. Then, relax for 20 minutes and rinse the skin with cold water to immediately have bright, smooth, youthful skin.
