Feng Shui, the ancient Eastern belief that the placement of objects around us causes changes in vibrations, is as prevalent today as it was thousands of years ago. The very fact that it has lasted the test of time is proof that it works for many across the world. Widely known for determining the aspects of home decor and design, feng shui can also be used as part of your beauty routine.
When you bring feng shui into your beauty ritual, you have a chance to align yourself with the positive vibrations around you and ward off all the negative energies. By giving off the right kind of vibrations, you’ll also attract more love into your life. Here are some tips to bring feng shui into your personal life through skin care.
1. Use Rose Water
Rose water has aptly been called a fountain of freshness. It brightens the skin and hydrates it. It also has antiseptic properties that clear acne and other skin problems. By balancing the skin pH, it also reduces blemishes and various age-related skin problems. In feng shui, rose water is also often used even for cleaning homes before a ritual.1 It is one of the better bets to clear up your skin, as well.
2. Try Symmetrical Makeup
Symmetry is highly valued in feng shui as it brings harmony into our lives. Symmetrical faces are amazing, with a different kind of beauty and attractiveness, but none of our faces are perfectly symmetrical. Each of us has our own imperfections – a quirky eyebrow here, an odd nose there. Here’s where symmetrical makeup comes to use: it evens out both halves of the face and makes you look stunning and beautiful. Creating facial symmetry is, in fact, every beautician’s ultimate goal. So bring feng shui into your life once a while by giving your face a little bit of symmetry.2
3. Use Mirrors And Moonlight Effectively
Using mirrors and moonlight is a carefully prescribed ritual that can make the man of your dreams fall in love with you! The yin rays of the moon are linked closely with a woman’s beauty and are also tied to the menstrual cycle and your hormones.
Place a vanity mirror with a metal base outside, exposed to the rays of a full moon. Bring it in before the first rays of the sun touch it. Then, use it while applying any makeup.3 This might sound like a fancy, urban legend, but there’s no harm trying it, is there?
4. Place Flowers Strategically
Flowers, in general, have healing and restorative properties. Adding to it, green is considered to be the color of growth and harmony. To bring this harmony into your life, place flowers like peonies in strategic corners and bring love into your life. Be sure to do this in tandem with other feng shui practices and not as a standalone venture to get optimum benefits.4
5. Wear Crystal Jewelry
According to feng shui, light-catching elements enhance the chi energy. Rose quartz can be used by women looking to find love. It is a beautiful crystal to look at, can be worn with ease, and is known to offer many benefits. It influences your energy levels and increases positivity.5 Crystal jewelry is also believed to protect yours from negative energies.
There is enough reason to believe that feng shui in its traditional form was highly effective and that modifications over time are more a question of faith than of actual science. Whatever the case be, if these rituals make you feel good about yourself and improve your life, there is no reason not to follow them. Try out these few simple tips that don’t even cost much and observe their influence on you. Did feng shui improve your beauty routine and bring in more love? Let us know.
