How to combat the 6 environmental energies that affect the skin
To slow the signs of aging, Empress Dowager Cixi believed one had to control the 6 “sky energies” brought about by the changing seasons.
The Qing Dynasty’s legendary Empress Dowager Cixi, known to many as a powerful woman who assumed regency and held her imperial seat for over four decades, was a formidable woman who ruled with a strong heart and an iron fist. Her achievements as China’s last empress are talked about even to this day, but there is one little-known fact about this historical leader – did you know she had her own beauty secrets?
The 6 Sky Energies Theory
Cixi believed in the 6 Sky Energies Theory, whereby she identified 6 different environmental aggressors, or “energies”, which directly contribute to the skin’s aging process. These 6 factors are: (1) wind, (2) sun, (3) humidity, (4) heat, (5) dryness, and (6) coldness. She believed that by attempting to control these 6 energies, we’d be able to significantly slow down the aging process.
