Chinese Beauty Secret No. 1: Pearl Powder
An ancient Chinese beauty secret is pearl powder. Crushed pearls were either ingested or applied topically for anti-aging effects for the skin. It actually makes sense because along with various amino acids and minerals, pearl powder is made up of calcium carbonate crystals and the protein conchiolin, which is a bit like keratin, the protein in our skin and hair.

Chinese Beauty Secret No. 2: Astragulus Root
Astragulus root has been used in Chinese medicine for hundreds of years and now scientists have found that it can stop our telomeres (on the ends of our DNA) from shortening. When they shorten, cells die and one of the results will be wrinkled skin. Astragulus is now appearing in some of the latest anti-wrinkle creams.
