Chapter 151 It Works
Through the small mirror in front of him, his eyes caught sight of the familiar yellow bottle.
When he saw her take out the small yellow bottle again, his mind instantly recalled the last time he applied that skin care product.
It was the greasy feeling sticking to his skin that made him frown.
Then he asked, "What are all those things in these bottles?"
Ruan Chuxia reflected in the mirror raised a hand.
She picked up the bottle he had just mentioned and shook it in front of him.
"Is this what you're talking about? This is a skin care oil I made myself."
Since her rebirth, there are many things that she dislikes.
What she could not accept the most was the crude and simple menstrual belts and the cosmetics with complicated ingredients.
In her previous life, she was at least the richest person.
Whether it is food, clothing, or skin care and beauty products, they all come from the world's top brands.
Especially when it comes to skincare, her daily routine is extremely meticulous.
However, now, time suddenly flowed back, and she fell back into this era of relatively scarce resources.
The most expensive skin care product on the market is nothing more than cheap vanishing cream.
Although it was considered a "luxury item" at the time, she really wasn't interested in it.
What should I do?
You can't just watch your skin become rough, right?
Then you can only do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Fortunately, she has a "national medical system".
It contains countless precious knowledge and secret recipes.
The most common of these are various medicinal herbal materials.
Since the products on the market cannot meet her needs, she decided to make it herself.
The bottle of skin care oil she is using now is her proudest creation among all her homemade products.
It has a fine and silky texture and glides smoothly onto the skin.
Most importantly, it is extremely moisturizing.
Of course, this skin care oil also has some minor drawbacks.
Because it follows the more original formula, the fat ratio is slightly higher.
Therefore, after applying it, your hands will feel a little slippery and not fresh and dry enough.
But these do not hinder her love for this skin care oil.
The key lies in one main ingredient: ginseng liquid.
It is the essence extracted from ginseng through high-tech refining techniques.
It is rich in nutrients and active substances, and can play a role in nourishing both inside and outside.
Not only can it be applied directly on the face and body, it can even be taken orally to improve blood circulation and skin tone.
She once tried rubbing some on her hands.
The next day I found that even my fingertips were much brighter.
So this time, while I have some free time, I plan to apply it all over my body to repair my skin.
Just as she picked up the bottle in her hand and was about to start nursing, her eyes inadvertently fell on Xiao Zhiyu opposite her.
He looked very serious as he lowered his head to read the book.
At that moment, her heart moved inexplicably, as if a certain idea flashed through her mind.
She pursed her lower lip slightly, as if trying to muster up courage.
Then she sat up, holding the bottle of skin care oil in her hand, and handed it to him carefully.
"How about... you rub my back for me?"
Her voice was not loud, but loud enough for him to hear.
He looked up at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Can this thing also be used to rub your back?"
"Of course!"
Ruan Chuxia chuckled and continued to explain: "In winter, the weather is dry, and the skin is prone to cracking or tightening easily. Applying this is very moisturizing. And you see -"
She stretched out her hand and shook the faint oily sheen on her wrist.
“Not just the face, it can be used all over the body.”
Seeing that he was still skeptical, she added another sentence.
"The fragrance you smelled before was actually caused by me applying this."
After saying this, her tone was a little shy.
Speaking of the fragrance, he suddenly recalled that evening.
There was a faint but heart-warming atmosphere floating in the air.
He stared at her for a long time, his eyes gradually falling on her face.
For some reason, he suddenly noticed that her skin had improved compared to when they first met.
Could it be that this oil really worked?
He took the small glass bottle, looked at it in the light for a moment, and then sniffed it.
But apart from a slight herbal scent, there really isn't much flavor.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm? Doesn't the smell seem very strong?"
Ruan Chuxia nodded, adjusted her position in bed, and responded with a smile.
"The fragrance itself is not too strong, and it slowly releases after being activated by body heat. If you apply a little on your neck and wrists, you can feel its warmth."
After saying this, she was already lying on the bed on her side, with her back facing Xiao Zhiyu, and her hands slightly bent and placed on her chest.
I only heard her whisper:
"Come on, I'll rub my back for you."
Xiao Zhiyu stopped involuntarily as he looked at this scene and took a deep breath.
He tried to remain calm, then poured some oil into his palm and rubbed it on her skin.
You know, it’s the coldest time of the year now.
Even indoors it was a bit chilly.
"You have to rub it with your palms first to warm it up so that the essential oil can be absorbed by the skin more easily... There are also certain techniques for kneading and massaging."
As she spoke, she felt Xiao Zhiyu massaging her according to her instructions.
It's true, this guy got the hang of it pretty quickly, and he controlled the strength just right, not using too much force nor being too frivolous.
It actually does look a bit like that.
Just when he was concentrating on the operation.
The originally smooth movement suddenly stopped.
As if sensing something unusual, her body stiffened slightly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhiyu did not respond immediately.
"The Immortal Spleen...seems to be working."
"real?!"
Hearing this, she became excited, sat up straight and turned to look at him.
"Feel it carefully again. Are you sure it's really working? Is it really starting to work?"
Xiao Zhiyu frowned.
Her face was slightly flushed due to the warm breath.
After a moment, he finally opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in them.
"It seems like... there really is some reaction!"
Before Ruan Chuxia could say anything, Xiao Zhiyu's face suddenly darkened and he whispered, "But... I can only hold on for less than ten seconds..."
"Well……"
Ruan Chuxia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her heart suddenly sank.
It's been less than a minute.
Sensing the depressing atmosphere in the air, she forced a smile.
"Don't worry, this is just the effect of the first batch. I will adjust the formula ratio and the amount of herbs used so that you can get better results and last longer next time..."
He was the only one lying on the bed, silent and with a gloomy expression on his face.
After a while, he just responded with a slightly cold "hmm".
This is the feeling of falling from a high point to the bottom of the valley.
It's even more painful than not expecting anything from the beginning.
