The recipes can moisturize the skin, and make the skin silky smooth and glow like jade. Some of the recipes can remove dark spots, acne, freckles, and prevent skin diseases. These recipes are selected and translated from ancient classical Chinese medicine books including Imperial Herbal Formulas (Yu Yao Yuan Fang), Taiping Benevolent Prescriptions (Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang), and Prescriptions for Caring All People (Pu Ji Fang). These recipes have been proven useful for hundreds of years by billions of people. Historical backgrounds of the recipes are introduced.
