Clear acne with this Chinese dessert! 💗

Beauty starts from within. Sometimes, you can apply the strongest skincare treatment but the acne just won’t subside because the main problem is in your diet and blood circulation. It is commonly known in traditional Chinese medicine that acne is usually a result of excess body heat. It also means that your blood is “poisoned” due to the toxins from the food you consume. This is why there are breakouts and stuff. Thus, TCM physicians usually tell you to back off on the greasy, fried, and sweet junk food while fighting the body and skin inflammation with cooling food like mung beans, chinese pearl barley, chinese pear, cucumbers, etc. (more about this HERE )

This steamed Chinese pear dessert also contains other beneficial ingredients that are good for you skin health and circulation.

STEAMED CHINESE PEAR DESSERT:

• 1 chinese pear

• 1-2 tsp dried roses

• 1 tbsp honey

• 2-3 jujubes / red dates

Cut off the top of the pear to create a “lid”. Remove the core in the middle. Add your dried roses, honey, and jujubes in the middle. Cover with the pear lid. Steam for 10-15 minutes for a firmer texture or 20-25 minutes for a fully softened pear.
